Great Course
Really nice course that was in great condition. Some challenging holes due to the elevation change.
Great course
Really enjoyable course with lovely views. Really well maintained and well presented. Nice layout although a little hilly for anyone with mobility issues. Really enjoyable day, will definitely be back.
Challenging in the wind
Windy cold day but dry ..impressed with how dry the course was and good firm greens
We found the whole course tidy good fairways and no boggy areas
Very good holes some need a lot of thought before playing the correct club
We will play again ...maybe next time using a buggy
Always a joy to return, great layout,course condition and greens brilliantly fast.
Couldn't recommend it more highly. Thanks to all we met.
Only gripe, 2nd cut just off fairways was too high as the ball nestled down, making it difficult to spot.
Will return in 2024.
Fantastic Course
Greens were spotless! Ran true and were quick. First time playing the course and will be back soon! Highly recommend the course. Tough course to play which challenges you!
Great course
Thoroughly enjoyed our first time playing this course.
Everyone from the pro’s shop, green keepers and bar staff were friendly and welcoming.
The course was in really good condition and the greens were great.
I look forward to playing here again.
Challenging Course
First time played on this very beautiful but challenging course, condition of course excellent but with the most terrifyingly fast and undulating greens.
Excellent value for money
Fantastic course
Fantastic course in exceptional condition Will definitely play there again
Enjoyable Winter Visit to Houghton GC
Booked this on a Sunday morning because my own course was closed due to very wet conditions. I rang the club pro before travelling and was told that there were 3 temporary greens in play with artificial tees for every hole so I was expecting the course to be wet. What a pleasant surprise was waiting for me. Yes, the artificial tees are fiddly to get a peg into but they provide a solid surface to play off when the ground is a bit soggy but only a minor inconvenience. Apart from that I was very impressed by the course. It is quite hilly and with the soft ground my legs were feeling it afterwards but every hole presents a good challenge with plenty of variation. I've only rated course conditions as 4 stars purely because of the amount of water that has affected all local courses. I'm looking forward to paying another visit in better weather when I'm sure the course will be in top condition. Three of us played and all enjoyed the round. We were too late to make use of the clubhouse so that is something else to look forward to.
Freezing but worth it
Considering the winter weather we have experienced, the course was in very good nick. Greens were running true and at a good pace.
Would have awarded higher for Pace of Play, but after being played through by several groups, I was stuck behind a 3 ball who were never going to let anyone play through, despite me standing by the tee box with them on 10, 11 and 12. Thankfully they left before playing 13th, by which time the gap ahead was so great that I would never catch anyone up.
