Hurtmore Golf Club

This is a great course and I really enjoy playing it, have played here numerous times. There is something for everyone here, long & short holes, sand & water, good for beginners and more experienced players aloke

Ended up playing just nine holes due to a terribly slow pace of play. Conditions were fine, but no course attendants left solos clogging up the course at a busy time

Best feature being short and compact with many drivable Par 4's but with only one Par 5 turns it into it's worst feature as the super slow rate of play ruined what should have been a decent experience but can't say we weren't warned by other reviewers.

Attention is required to the large ruts on the golf course between holes that require filling in and reseeding.

The greens have been better but this is probably due to the time of year.

I played Hurtmore Golf Course today, and the layout and upkeep were genuinely impressive—well-designed and in great condition. However, the pace of play was a real drawback; it was incredibly slow. I contacted the clubhouse to request a marshal to help move things along, only to learn none were available. It’s a shame that such a strong course was let down by poor flow management. I’d recommend it for the quality, but the sluggish pace was a frustration.

Nice course, great condition for this time of year, flat grounds.

Can’t understand why we have to start on the 10th, They say it’s because of work on the 4th tee, but it’s been like that for months, and when I asked at the shop , l didn’t get a convincing explanation.

Hurtmore boasts that it is one of the South’s leading golf courses, offering open facilities throughout the winter period and it is our go to course to enjoy a worthwhile winter round. I had played two days earlier at another course about 20mls away, where I had trudged through muddy fairways and horrible lies, competing against a whole host of unsuitable inclement conditions and the Hurtmore experience was just a joy. The fairways were firm allowing the ball to run on - no plugging! Greens well maintained and a good surface, challenging each player to find that correct line to avoid multiple putts. We appreciate all the work the ground staff have been puttting in; fresh sand has been added to the bunkers, obviously helping good club play to exit cleanly; new dressing on pathways and a general feeling that the course is being looked after in the murky days of winter. An enjoyable round where our scores reflected that the course gave an opportunity to stay tight and be rewarded with a fair score - not losing shots to poor lies, worm casts and clods of scattered mud across the course. Thank you Hurtmore.

Considering the time of year and weather the course was playing Ok. Well, can only comment on back 9 as had to tee of on the 10th and didn't play the front 9*. Didn't come across any really boggy/muddy fairways, greens had recently been aerated, but played Ok. Bunkers were generally well kept.

It's quite a short, open and compact parkland like course, enjoyable enough, though there aren't really any stunning signatures holes to write home about.

Some tees off mats.

Had a breakfast bap on arrival and warm baguette for lunch after. Food & price good, staff friendly, clubhouse modern and in good condition.

*Pace of play was awful. 2h10m to complete 9 holes of 2485 yards, well actually probably more like 2300 yards as there were some tees placed forward. Given the fresh breeze, constant drizzle we decided to can playing the front 9 as couldn't bear traipsing around waiting for minutes to take each shot and spend another 2Hrs+ out there. There were at least 3x 4 balls in front of us who didn't seem in any rush, grouped together to banter, and generally played very slowly (i.e. waiting for the group in front to be at least 2x their shot distance away). The club need to put longer spacing between tee times rather than focusing on revenue as I've also played weekdays and often found it equally slow... Won't be playing weekend again, and had I paid full rack-rate price I would have been asking for half my green fee back!

Course is in good condition and not too wet despite a few days of continuous rain.

The round would have been more pleasant if there is less wait time for tee offs and fairways, as we have to wait for the 3 ball in front who were held back by the 4 balls in front. Few bad to let the 2 flights wait behind us too.

As the weather was very wet, the course was still in good condition. Greens were no issue. Few sloppy parts on the course but with the weather I’m not surprised. Bring your swimming goggles if your best friend is the bunkers. Highly recommend, especially for the summer

Booked a 3 ball for a friend and his brother. They had both played there and recommended it to me to book. So I thought for his birthday let’s do it. Didn’t disappoint drainage clearly on point. Greens fairly fast for mid Jan. Club house could do with a bit of work. It’s dated but that isn’t a contributing factor just something I observed. What was a contributing factor was a nice cold pint at the end of 18 holes. That did not disappoint.

Throughly enjoyed this course, only down side is that due to short daylight our 2 ball was joined with an other without warning, but other than that throughly enjoyed the round. The course was in great condition considering it was 0 degrees
