Poor course experience
Course well overrated poor conditions staff not aware of how to allocate tee times to avoid unnecessary waiting. No on course monitoring of slow play.
VERY AVERAGE
I have no problem being paired with another 2 ball. Its part of the terms you accept when using Golf Now but when you've booked a buggy and then get paired with a man & wife who've only played a couple of times in their lives it makes for a difficult and ultimately horrible round. Surely the club could ask some relevant questions before teeing off. We'd have been happy to go earlier or later with a couple of similar standard. at £35 its not exactly cheap. Greens were very poor, not sure if this is due to lack of rain but it wasn't worth £35. Shame as we like the course.
Leeds Golf Centre
As a former member of Leeds Golf Centre, I’ve always enjoyed playing on the course, which has been in good condition on many occasions. However, yesterday’s condition of the greens was particularly shocking.
All the greens were still badly affected by winter hollow tine holes that desperately needed top dressing. In comparison to other courses in the north Leeds area I’ve played at in the last two weeks, they were really poor and not enjoyable to play on.
The tee boxes on holes 3, 4, and 5 that appeared to have been recently re-turfed were in desperate need of watering and weren’t really ready to play on yet.
Very slow pace of play
The course is really good but we were a two ball behind what turned out to be a six ball three holes in front they left the after the ninth. The four ball two holes in front turned into a five as someone else joined. Four and a half hours for the round is a bit excessive the club needs to control who's out on the course better.
Disappointed
I have played at Wike fairly regularly for years. I have to say that this is the worst condition the greens have been in that I can remember. When I arrived the staff were there fairly usual level of uninterested and rude, but they failed to mention that the tee boxes throughout the entire course were closed. Off the winter mats in front of the ladies tees we go. The course was inlovely condition between the tees and greens, everything mown nicely (including the bizarrely closed tees). Unfortunately the greens were fairly shocking, with no real signs of ongoing maintenance work either. I don't mind a recently hollow-cored green, or a heavy dose of sand on top, but these were just lumps, bumpy and overall pretty miserable to putt on. For £18 at twilight I suppose you have to take what you get, but it's the most disappointed I've ever been with the course. Fingers crossed they can sort something out in the next month or so, the layout is still nice and it really should be a lovely round.
A great day to play golf I can’t say the same about the standard of my game
Great potenial
Lovely laid out course, on mats for tee boxes which were not told about, greens were ok for time of year.
Very busy, and members are quite rude to visitors.
Perhaps they should not allow visitors on if the membership is anti them.
Excellent Winter Course
Having played quite a few different courses over winter this has been in the best condition of all of them. Didn't come across any boggy areas and the greens were in excellent condition. Winter tees were in play but thankfully they don't require the use of fairway mats.
What winter?
To say we’re in the depths of winter the course is in really decent nick. Definitely recommend
Great course
Apart from the weather and absolute pleasure to play course even with the rain recently in excellent condition staff extremely friendly and helpful.
Early Sunday Round
Excellent layout of course well maintained greens. Good signage
Leeds golf centre
Lovely course , fairways were a bit long but as everyone was playing off red tees distance was not a problem. Greens and bunkers in excellent condition. Half way hut served excellent food that was much needed!
Overall excellent value for money.
One thing that could speed up play would be a phone no for halfway hut on 9th tee so you could preorder your food .
Driving range and practice facilities very good .
Would certainly recommend this course to others.
Too busy
Great course, sadly over sold as we had 3 4 balls in front of us and 2 behind , tee off time spacing was literally 5 mins apart, by the 2nd 9 it was chaotic
Continues to mature
I used to play here a dozen times a year before emigrating south - can’t believe how much better this course is , especially the greens and facilities and with unseasonable good weather had a great round even if off winter tees (which staff failed to mention)
