Mapperley Golf Club

I like to play this course every year, i have soft spot for it. It is very very hilly but oozes charm and character. The views are spectacular and the holes are varied. The par 5s on the back 9 are my favourite holes to play, with stunning features as are the two par 3s. The front 9 is the hillyer of the two nines, with some excellent holes, 3 and 4 are my favourite. That only sets you up for the final 9, which is stunning in places. The condition of the course was fantastic and a credit to the green staff. A friendly welcome in the proshop by the pro and a friendly clubhouse after for a drink. Mapperley is a tough walk but it is my guilty pleasure, i love to play it.

The course is hilly but in lovely condition green quick only down side no sand in bunkers but apart from that great course will play it again

We played this course on probably the most windy day of August.

Both of us have dodgy knees , and the fact that this course is very hilly did not suit our condition. There is not a flat hole on this course. Mountain goat territory.

The greens were very good, with plenty of undulations,. Fairways were lush and better than most I’ve played on since lockdown.

The pro shop was a let down. No ball markers, limited stock and no entry to browse.

It’s one off the list for Nottingham , after so many positive ratings ,I feel awkward in giving this a lower score. If I’d known if was on a hillside, I’d probably given it a miss.

Very challenging holes on an established course.

Challenging course with some incredible views of Nottingham. Greens very quick and some lovely members. If you have any sort of injury fitness wise then book a cart. Very Hilly!!!

This course was challenging... Plenty of argumentative hills and slopes to trip you up :) Not so challenging that a buggy is required though.

Nice variety of holes (Hated the 572yd par 5, loved the par 3 up hill)

Having visited a few golf courses using the GolfNow app you know that not everywhere you go is going to tick every box but mapperley certainly ticks more boxes than most! We found the quality of the fairways and greens top notch and the overall layout and variety in the holes was excellent. The welcome from the pro in the shop was brilliant and the members were very friendly. The clubhouse was lovely and welcoming with an excellent choice of food with very friendly staff. Can honestly say if I lived closer I would be a member. Will definitely return!

Played with my son and really appreciated the warm welcome at the golf shop and by all the members during the game and after in the bar area The course is well kept , quite challenging and very hilly Great value for money and I would really recommend it for anyone looking for a challenging course and great day out

First time visitor and have to say the course is Excellent. Placement is key off the tee even with an iron . The staff in the pro shop was excellent and very friendly . I will definitely return and definitely recommend this course .....

All excellent, except pace of play. Maybe more should be allocated to 4 balls.

Good course - some very nice scenery - very steep so you get a good workout waking the hills.

Played on one of the hottest days of the year so far and walking so made it very challenging however the course was great and played well for all abilities in my opinion.

Great value for money

Not played this course before, but read some reviews. Friendly welcome at the pro shop. Course very undulating on evert hole, so difficult. The grass was left quite long so no bounce or roll. The course seemed tricky, but not long, until we reached the two par 5’s. . These two consecutive holes made both my partner and I extremely tired and we finished the round feeling exhausted. Reached the clubhouse at 2.45 and only sandwiches or curry available from the menu. Maybe play here again in the spring when the course might be a bit more forgiving.

Strenuous course, up and down throughout first 9 holes. Keep drives straight can score well, par 3s all different and only 2 par5s. Course in good condition, greens hit it true, should be plenty of par's.

Very friendly and easy going. We were late because of being held up in traffic on the M1.

The club pro was very accommodating and we were allowed to play at a later time.

Played he before ,tough walk, ball always above feet or below feet , when we played it was very wet greens were good but fareways very boggy to the point we thought the course should be shut, will definitely go back but in dry weather
