Owston Hall Golf Resort

First time playing here. The course layout is nice and has the potential to be a great 18 holes.

Unfortunately, it needs a lot of work to get it to reach this potential. Greens looked like they hadn’t had maintenance in a long time, fairways full of weeds and tees were either overgrown or had been clubbed to death.

Hopefully this place gets the work it needs soon, until then I don’t think I will be returning.

Upon arriving at the Entrance it was a nice drive down to the car park finding the reception was no problem , and stated I booked using Golf Now for £12.99 and that was no problem , all Tee times were shown on a screen with names which was good.

I had trouble finding the 1st Tee so I asked some friendly members and found it no problem, could be signed a bit better but once you know the layout it shouldn’t be a problem.

Upon reaching the first green there were sprinklers on it but this is course maintenance and is required and probably won’t be there when you play.

I had trouble finding some holes I think it was the 3rd i nearly tee off a completely different hole until green keeper told me the 3rd was behind me and had that problem a few times along the way, a lot of tee markers were not marked so could make you unsure of the hole but once you learn the layout I suppose its fine one good thing about the layout is you can seamlessly go from the 9th I think it is to the 16th which is good if you want to shorten your game.

Bunkers were in good condition and so were the greens in all fairness but were playing slowly so bare that in mind .

Overall 3/5 only because of Tee,s not being marked up and lack of signage for Hole Directions (Only a issue first time), all staff were spot on and everybody who was playing were really friendly definitely will return.

Have played here many times & like it because its Flat!! it's usually been quite busy but,we were pleasantly surprised how quiet it was,the course in general was good however,the greens,though quick had small grooves in them but,overall I would recommend this course and will come again

This is potentially a nice course with the provision of a little more resource. A few days after re-opening following COVID lockdown, it appeared to have had very little maintenance beyond basic mowing over the past 3 months.

Many bunkers were weed-strewn, compacted and stony, greens had been very recently scarified but not top-dressed or watered and were very dry, hard and fast.

I’ll need to hear about some improvement before I visit again.

Nice course in good condition greens ran well and were the same speed on all of the greens the only thing that let the whole venue down was the car park apart from that good value for money and ran to time

Course is really short from what it used to be. Tee offs are like playing on an horse field really overgrown rough and the greens were in a poor state you wouldn’t think there were any green keepers and it was full of 4 balls so pace is really slow I walked off after 8 holes Won’t be going back anytime soon

Beautifully presented course, a good mixture of holes. Really enjoyed playing here

I played this course around 10 years back and enjoyed it been back today the course has been altered not sure when

The condition of the course only open 3 days after 3months lockdown

Tee box

17/18 very poor no grass / old tees by the 100s

Fairways

13/18 poor grass not cut may be due to new layout?

Greens

18/18 had been treated so not tue but this has to be done at some time

Overall very poor not sure what's happened but will not be returning council courses will give this a ten break

Lovely course nice mix of holes would definitely play again

Played a few times since the revamp and new holes added fairways excellent, greens were 6-7 out of 10 could do some work but I’m sure they’ll get better over summer.

OK on a hot deal for £13. Better signage, yardage markers, GPS needs to be mapped and daisy flowers need to be dealt with would improve it and make it much better. It's good for someone new to golf.

Nice little course , really enjoyed the first round back after a couple of months off (due to COVID) a good mixture of hole ! Fairways are close together so you have to be on your guard as stray balls can come from anywhere.

Nice course , back 9 holes were slightly better in my opinion but overall a great day out

Getting back to how it was a few years ago a joy to play..
