Gillyflower Golf

Great 9 holes course got to play it man in van was great to talk to

Didn't realise this was a 9 hole course, dissapointed when playing 18 to go round twice even though tees were slightly moved for the second 9. The course itself is a good course, just not enough holes. No food available to buy and the only drink available was water, no card machine so cash only. Lovely 9 hole course but wouldn't play again

I was looking forward to seeing what changes had been made to the course as I was a member at Lostwithiel Golf Club for a few years before it closed down about 10 years ago.Much of the old course layout is the same with a few holes no longer in play.

I dont see many players coming back to play this course in its current state. Whilst I understand the concept behind the ecology angle to Gilliflower Golf Club it doesn't work from a golfers perspective playing the course on a regular basis. In particular, I am referring to the long rough on most holes adjoining the fairways and especially on hole 2 and/or 11. In my opinion this needs to be changed for the benefit of the golfers and also to speed up the pace of play. On the day we played the course it was quiet, but if the course was busy I could easily see a round taking up to 5 hours which is neither enjoyable or sustainable from a business perspective.

Personally I enjoyed playing the course, but would not come back again in a hurry for the reasons outlined above. I was hoping to recommend this course to my home club members fir a society away day but in its current condition the cost is not realistic as it would cost players more in lost balls than the green fees being charged.

I would be happy to provide more detailed feedback if anyone felt it would be beneficial.

Considering it’s brand new the course is top notch. Beautiful views, tricky holes and some lovely greens. Found myself pausing at some tees to look at the scenery. Will definitely play again and would highly recommend to give it a go and test what you’re skills are like. Recently played the belfry brabazon and would say this was in much better condition

A beautiful fairly short course great for a fun round with a lake, ponds and a river running through it. Very scenic
