Haigh Woodland Park - Balcarres Course

A very clever layout gives rise to challenging slopes where going against the topography will cost you dearly.

Great views from this once baronial seat coupled with some of the best greens in the area will guarantee you a fulfilling day.

Incredible value for a nice course, shoutout to Rebecca for giving me some bottles of water when i ran out on a hot day.

First time playing and would come back. Great value for money, staff were friendly and helpful. Course in good condition and greens were very fast.

Absolutely rammed waiting to tee off on every hole single player and taken me over 4 hours go round says it all really but apart from that brilliant course.

This course was cheap and cheerful. It was a very busy day on the course but busy because it’s decent and affordable. The course has its challenges like some unforgiving fairways. There were a couple of holes which were very narrow, meaning you could easily slice your ball onto oncoming players or, playing into someone else’s drive to retrieve your ball.

Due to the dry weather, there were a few dry spots on the tees, and greens. But again, the cheap and affordable cost means you are likely to see this some less TLC than the more expensive courses.

Overall, excellent challenge for amateurs and beginners alike.

Our second visit of the year on a beautiful sunny day.

The course generally is in good condition but some of the tees and greens are showing signs of the lack of rain but if you like sunny days there ain't no rain

Nice sandwich in the cafe after the golf.

We will be back

Great little course very hilly and quite tricky would definitely recommend this course to anyone

Played on a twilight tee time the condition of the course was perfect and the layout of the course is great.

Also a great tough hilly course

Nice course, hilly bit a great day was had :)

On a few holes the landscape made it challenging as a beginner but great value for the money, could do with a touch up on some of the greens

A quality course with breathtaking views. Layout is impressive and offers multiple "signature" holes to keep you coming back. Staff are friendly. I have played a number of high end courses and they are not a patch on this, the greenkeepers should be credited for the impressive fairways and smart, well worked greens. Definitely a course that I will keep going back to time and time again.

This course is in my doorstep, but I have avoided playing it due to previous adverse comments. I couldn't have been more wrong. I can imagine that it would be a different course in wetter conditions, but in dry conditions the course played beautifully. The fairways are forgiving for wayward drives, but the course presents a good test for golfers of all levels.

An excellent course, I managed 2 birdies including the final hole which made me want to go round again. Still classing myself as a total beginner I managed to break the 100 for only the 2nd time in my playing career would definitely recommend this course.
