Huntswood Golf Club

Lovely, not difficult, but a challenging course. Always a pleasure to play here. Staff friendly as well as the members .

A little on the short side but an enjoyable round Course in fairly good condition and greens immaculate

Pace of play was good especially considering that there were 2x 4 balls in front of us ( we were a 2 )

Firstly the course was in fantastic condition. Considering the amount of rain we have had throughout December. The green keepers should be proud. Green run at a good speed and barley any bad mud about. However there was one draw back was the pace of play. Absolutely shocking. Bordering on arrogance from some of the players. Marshals were around the course but they didn’t seem to speeding people up.

Nice course, was tipping it down when we played but still enjoyed the course. Looking forward to getting back out there.

Very tight fairways be careful as balls flying around !

Only 6 minutes between tee times, hence slow play.

It's a nice short course, it's been crammed in abit with greens and tees quite close to each other. The pace of play was terrible, there was a members competition and given the length of the course it's not clear why the members were slowing up play so much. Also they wouldn't let anyone play through which didn't help. Walked off after 14 holes, as did the two groups in front of us. Shame because a course like this should really be somewhere you go for a quick round. Best to avoid on Sunday I would say.

Course needs water badly.all we saw all day were white stakes everywhere. Never seen so many out of bounds!!.

Very much enjoyed the whole experience at Huntswood

Have played several courses around the area and have to say the greens are immaculate as are the teeing areas so well done greenkeepers!! A general theme I've noticed during Covid is that many have allowed the long grass to fester and some have narrowed up their fairways but not here. It was a busy day and lost a few balls why I'm a strong advocate of cutting back long grass to semi rough if anything to speed up rate of play and avoid frustration. This was my first time here and it was a good round had to carry 1 to 2 club lengths 3 at times more to account for strong winds and elevated hole. Had to cross a few holes to get to the next ones and some tees are in very close proximity to the greens almost like greenside bunker location hidden by a row of trees but you wouldn't know until you get closer to them. So ended up using a club length shorter on slightly obscured greens purely for safety reasons and be more than proactive with shouting Fore coming back to the clubhouse as the shallow valley between holes is a magnet for balls ending up close to adjacent teeing off areas and a blindspot for players coming in opposite direction mid fairways. I'm just over emphasising the safety aspect. Still a very enjoyable pristine course with clean bunkers no fear of damaging clubs (no stones) can leave the driver behind 3,5 woods or hybrid will suffice. Wil def be back with a half set heavy on wedges. A course for all abilities!

I played early hours on a Saturday, the greens looked mint green and very true. It was a shame they were very wet due to rain. Not puddles just damp grass which is a shame cause they didn’t play as fast as they looked. Short and friendly all and all good condition fairways a bit dry but plenty of grass. Half of the bunkers filled with puddles.(was heavy rain previously) but I will be playing again. Good chance to make a decent score.

Friendly staff well organised at arrival and upon completion. Course fairly short but offers average golfer a challenge. Greens in good condition.
