Matfen Hall Golf Club - Standing Stone Course

This is about my fifth time i've played Matfen, the overall condition of the course was great and the greens were excellent. My only gripe was i booked a Hot Deal and was told on arrival we were playing another 2 ball, which i just wanted a friendly game with a mate, anyway i had to pay a further £10 pound so the 2 of us could play.

I was told by chap at clubhouse its in the Golfnow rules........so take note!

Fantastic condition with some tough shots! I lost a lot of balls but really enjoyed it!

WOW what a course 3 separate 9 hole courses , we played Dewlaw & Douglas courses 1 was over the road. Great course condition greens where excellent. Views amazing would highly recommend

Ive played here before and never been disappointed.

Access and car parking are spot on.

Staff are extremely friendly, professional and polite.

Course is in tip top condition.

Beware of the rough though.. If you stray off the fairways, its reload time. Very deep & thick rough .

One disappointment today was the ‘ usually wonderful ‘ bacon sandwich.. No buns ( not acceptable ) and pre-cooked bacon in cheap sliced bread, and at £4:10p very overpriced...

That aside, an enjoyable day at Matfen Hal Golf Club..

I will return

Played here today for the first time but enjoyed GoApe a few times in the past which is also on site. Driving range to warm up with. Staff very friendly. Course is a temporary layout for covid but having never played before, it ran well for us. Green keepers were out maintaining the course which was in a lovely condition. Only downfall was the rough, if you happen to go in there then safe to say the ball is probably gone. Would definitely go back.

The staff were super helpful and friendly but the course and greens were in poor condition. I’ve played several courses in the area and they are a long way better than here.

My other niggle is that the rough just off the fairway is very long so spend long time looking for balls

Played the Standing Stone /Dewlaw combination. Standing Stone course condition was ok although tee boxes were a bit mixed, some a bit rough and needing to be cut. Greens were undergoing maintenance and accordingly played poorly. Dewlaw loop was in much better condition and greens were all good. Overall an interesting course with lots of length variety between holes. Fairways are all generous so suitable for everyone. Scenery was good and pace of play sensible. Shop and off course facilities are excellent. Overall well worth a visit and decent value for money.

Second time playing at this course and would go back

Excellent evening playing 28 holes course in excellent condition. Greens fast which you’d expect this time of year. Staff very friendly. Had a experience on the 14th that was rather surreal a Streaker or a spooky encounter running through the green into the woods. Helped me though as it’s the the hardest hole and I got a par. All round a great evenings golf and some lovely scenery to look out to with a cold pint of Guinness !!

I love this course with its lake and meandering streams which I managed to find on a number of occasions. Weather wasn’t great. It was windy and raining on and off but it didn’t stop up from having a thoroughly enjoyable round.
