Matfen Hall Golf Club - Douglas Course

A lot of fun, tricky bunkers, streams and walls, beautiful venue and course

Absolutely terrible customer service. Got a phone call saying two of the courses where closed due to water logging and told would have to play 9 holes only and could repeat if wanted. Told no refunds as course still open for play?! No offer of a refund or to rebook due to weather conditions.

Good course in great condition. Good facilities and staff are friendly. Enjoyable day alround

Fantastic course amd a lovely setting.

Only spoilt by a ladies three ball taking far too long and demonstrating really poor etiquette.

Not the clubs fault but they could have waived me through and not stayed on the green chatting whilst I was waiting to tee off on the par threes.

Thankfully they walked off after nine holes.

Nice layout, greens good, etc. Main problem was the wet winter conditions. The grass was allowed to grow too long, probably due to it being wet. The rough was long and damp. Every shot was a mud ball. We gave ourselves preferred lies. I think this course will be excellent in summer and autumn but not in winter.

Fairways were poor due to being very muddy. We haven’t had much rain so don’t know why the course was so heavy. Spoke to a couple of members who said the same and it’s the reason some haven’t renewed. The greens were excellent but £17.50 for 3 beers afterwards is ridiculous

Crisp, cool and damp, but what else would you expect in November... The course played extremely well, but long, and the greens were in great condition. Thoroughly enjoyable round of golf, finished with a hot buttie and coffee in the Keepers Lodge.

Haven’t played here for years but good to see it’s still in great condition and you forget how good some of the holes are.

Facilities very good

Played Standing 9. Then Dewlay. First 9 more challenging and better layout. Some very interesting variety of holes. Well worth a visit good value on a hot deal

The course was in a great condition, and the greens were fast and true.

Played yesterday and course was terrible, tee boxes as long grass and hadn’t been cut, greens were a disgrace but still got charged £45 each to play. Won’t be going back.

I've played Matfen a few times and although we booked to play Dewlaw and Douglas courses on arrival we were advised it was Douglas and Standing Stone we'd be playing. It was a little disappointing as Standing Stone is a bit tough for my skill set. Needless to say the course was on really good condition and it was quiet so we were able to take it at a good pace. I still feel £35 is above average for a round of golf but I suppose you get what you pay for. Good Course and good round overall.
