Harborne Church Farm Golf Course

Good for beginers as the round is not too long from any of the tees, however it is almost half price if you call directly

If you book with the club directly after 1pm tee times are £5 Golf now charged me £13 .50

Staff were very helpful and accommodate us despite golfnow not communicating our Tee off times. There was a competition on upon arrival... So not the best start.

Tee off was late (which was not an issue for us - and through no fault of the Harbourne staff.

The staff stated that they did not go through golf now app anymore, as there were previous issues.

The machine to cut the rough was not working so it was very thick... Tr fairway was like the rough should have been.

However - the green was well looked after and no complaints there.

States that the machine will be sorted soon.

Course holes at times crossed over and felt cramped with narrow fairways. Which would support a more intermediate player.

If the area was bigger it would accommodate a beginner better.

This is the first time I booked through golfnow and i hope that this communication error gets sorted as I am certain it's a one off.

Positives:

Friendly accommodating staff

The putting green was decent.

Was funny watching my colleague give up as at times in the rough it was unplayable....

Other people playing were kind and allowed us to walk through when the holes crossed over.

Negatives:

The course was very thick in the rough and lost a few balls in the fairway! - one guy before we started said he lost 7 balls playing that day (the weather was not bad).

Course is not forgiving and overlaps on a few holes.

Overall:

Challenging and a learning experience in thick conditions.

£15.50 for 9 holes was not good but maybe more appropriate when the rough and fairway has been cut better. I might come back (if allowed after this review).

Once again thankyou to the staff for accommodating us to play - even with the miscommunication.

Shocking course, the one member of staff was rude and challanged my group on the first tee because he was confused on how golf now worked...

Lads walking round In football shirts with one or 2 clubs...

Waiting on every hole, rubbish everywhere.. Waste of time and money

I arrived to find the course doesn’t open until 8am but I had booked a tee time of before 8 on GolfNow. I spoke with a greenkeeper who told me to go ahead and tee off which was good. The course is holding up well for this time of year, greens and fairways were good. Lots of leaves elsewhere but it is November, so should be expected. I would recommend.

Found it a good course for a beginner like me.Well maintained , bunker locations are fairly kind and no ponds to avoid.The stream across a fair part of the course can be a hazard if you’re unlucky with your shots!!The greens are immaculate and fast.It was quiet when we played mid- week.There is one cross- over hole towards the end of the course so a little courtesy needed by players.I will return.

Looked for a cheap round on Sunday not far from home and found this little peach! £10 for 18 holes! Only a nine hole course and no overly long holes. Everyone I met (members I think) where all extremely friendly and ended up going round with a guy called Ken. What a great bloke!!! Definitely will be returning!!!!

2 factors spoilt this s for me - leaves on the fairways were not cleared and the rough looked like it hadn't been cut for a week. I lost 4 balls for this reason. More care required on this course.

Otherwise friendly staff and reasonable facilities.
