Just Anazing

I am so impressed with this course. I first played it a couple of weeks ago and it just blows me away how well kept it is. The greens are in phenomenal condition, the fairways are just sublime, and despite me losing to my playing partner by 1 point, I didn’t really care because I’d enjoyed the scenery and the diverse range of holes that the Lakes course had to offer. I have since played another 2 times at Longhirst, once on the Dawson course and one more Lakes round. I am back up there tomorrow on the Dawson, and just can’t wait to be standing over my ball on the first tee.

5 stars all round for the friendly staff and the great job they have done not only on the course, but in their clubhouse, allowing players (and non-players) to feel safe when ordering drinks etc... as all the required safety features were well in place and working perfectly.

Thanks for a wonderful experience...!

Class

First time playing the lakes course and it's easily one of the best courses I've been on.

Challenging course with the amount of water. If you're going for the first time and as much of a amateur as i am.. take plenty of balls!

Fantastic par 3's and great views.

Definitely recommend it and definitely going again

Chinese 2 ball wouldn’t let me through

A mother and son of Ch in ese wouldn’t allow a 1 ball through even though they were playing off the reds and I was standing on the yellows waiting to tee off... I gather they are members but very ignorant and not playing within the spirit of the game they would stand looking for balls in the rough etc.. when we are both standing on the same tee and you don’t let someone through is very disgraceful and these people should be educated as a former member I think it is disgusting that this goes on even the 3 ball behind me said they will never let you through. Kind of put me off rejoining. I teed off when they were looking for their balls but still tried to play ahead of me! Complete joke love the course just dislike the ignorance of this woman!

after the big C

1st game since feb---big C to blame. still on partial lockdown but staff helpful upon checkin.

played the Lakes which has a good variety of holes & supprisingly lost only one ball.

The ground was hard--rain needed--but fairways good & greens true although they were a bit seedy.

great value & will defo go back.

Many thanks to my caddy / wife Joanne who is a very good putter on those greens !!

Almost perfect

This course is brilliant to play, even for a 18 handicapper like myself. The fairways and greens are first class, it is a fair course with forgiving fairways but some greens are quite tight and there is a lot of water. The thing that lets is down is the pace of play and other golfers etiquette. I was playing on my own but waited behind a 4 ball on ever tee from the 4th. These people are a disgrace and they ruin it for others. This is the 3rd time I’ve played here and it has been over 4 hours for every round. Other than that it was superb!

Risk and reward

Great course with a variety of risk and reward holes! Played with my son today and would love to be a member here just the 40 min drive that is stopping me! Great friendly staff and the course was in great condition apart from a couple of greens. Would love to bring my son back again.
