Manor of Groves Golf Hotel & Country Club

A bit disappointed with a course I use to like. Greens had been cored which is fine but they hadn't used enough sand after and the greens were really rough. The 8th was terrible. A moved green but it was left so bad with so much sand the bunker would of been easier to put out of. We picked up and give each other 2 puts. It seems like the maintenance is all a bit of a bridge job

Course in better nick than some especially after all the rain we have had. Greens still retain some pace surprisingly. Good value for money.

Interesting layout, shortish but tight. Fairways in good condition, and greens true albeit there was damage on half as there was around the greens with a lot of GIR. Spoilt by the slowness, nearing 4.5 hours for a late morning midweek round not good. Pleasant staff and members.

We arrived and booked in at friendly pro shop , hired a buggy

, buggy was clean and well charged , coarse was in good condition, all in all a very good coarse, only negatives would be a couple of bunkers could of been in better condition and a few rabbit digs around edge of two greens . We will definitely play here again

Love playing this course. Front 9 is totally different to the back 9 which is a good thing. Great price too. That said, I hope next time we play it that the tee boxes are actually mowed as they were way too high for this time of the year and a few of the greens were dug up and a bit unkept uncertain parts. Overall would definitely recommend

After reading a few negative reviews of this course I was a little worried in what condition it would be in but friends that had played said it was good. The course was brilliant. lovely well kept fairways and greens were rapid and true. The new redeveloped 8th hole needs a while to bed in as the green isn 't great and the tee boxes weren't brilliant either on the course only negatives imo. I would 100 per cent play again some really challenging holes and difficult pin positions and brilliant 600 yard par 5 finish!

I’ve been playing here for years, mainly because it’s only 5 minutes from my house. The course is decent and pretty well kept. I don’t understand the negative comments about the course being in bad condition.

My only real issue is the constant slow play. Not helped recently by more and more groups not letting people play through. I’m seriously considering travelling a bit further to other courses.

Great course in great location. However, it is not looked after and its starring to show quite spectacularly. It's a real shame as there are some fantastic holes. It's still worth £25 (for a one ball, cheaper with more players) every now and again for somewhere different tho.

Once I drove in looked nice and excited for a round of golf but once I was on I wish I turned back. I thought I was playing rugby with the amount of mud my shoes were collecting for some reason the ground staff had cut it far too short for winter. At one point the greens are great but the loose mud on the green makes the ball go offline. In the picture, you can see the machine tracks have been driven over the fairways in the frost which is killing/ damaging the fairway. Hopefully, the ground staff will repair this as this was the worst course I have played in a long while.

Paid £28 for a round here, this course is not worth any more than £18.

I played here roughly a year a go one of the holes was under repair, so effectively a 17 hole course. Exactly the same today.

The fairways are the same lengths as the rough.

Terrible, wouldn't play again.

Good value.

Course in good condition. Fast greens. Highlight last three holes especially 620 yards 18th

Had a lovely round .. fairways good greens excellent.. very very fast .. sadly Tee boxes awful .. all mud for some reason

But we’ll worth the visit

Manor of Groves is a fantastic gold course with plenty of challenging holes. The overall course is fantastic and in nice weather there is a few better places to play for under £30 in Hertfordshire, but the 8th hole is being rebuilt and there is no notice on either the website or at the club house, the first warning is at the end of the 7th hole. It’s very disappointing to pay for 18 holes and find that one isn’t playable.
