Owston Hall Golf Resort

It was a lovely day for a round of golf, the first hole was out of action but that was due to a renovation which is fair enough and we was offered the opportunity to play another hole if we wanted to make it up to 18. Some of the holes are very challenging (my first time playing a round of golf so might seem easier to others) but that only adds to the fun of it. Very nice surroundings and the course is well looked after. Jason from the team that manages the course was very pleasant and friendly.

When I arrived at the course I was told that only 17 holes where being played( which I didn't mind as I only payed £10) some of the holes are on temp greens and a lot shorter then when I played it previously it looks like the greens have been permanently fenced off so not sure if they will be used again but like I said I only paid £10 for my round so not to bad. If I was having to pay the full amount of £36 I would have been disappointed, overall good facility's and would recommend to friends but not paying the full price

Firstly £15 each on a hot deal was well over the odds for May. We had 3/4 temp greens the 1st hole was out of action and 1 original hole had been made into a par 4 n a par 3. Then to top it off the greens was also in a terrible condition. I won't be going back and I know the others I played with won't be either

Not very happy with the course, arrived expecting to play the full 18 holes only to be told by the pro that the 1st hole was out of play and the course was a completely different layout, as we played round there were 3 temporary greens and parts of the course seemed like we were on a pitch and put. Not good at all and nothing stating these changes on the course website that I could see! Will not be going back for the foreseeable future.

Played Owston Park 9 hole course next door and would advise that rather than this course

Tee was booked for 7.20am, arrived at 7am to find no one in the golf shop waited 10 mins and gave up, so had to play the round without a card. Seems a lot of works are going on at the moment so you only get to play 17 holes!! No mention of this before booking it or on arrival. Also a lot of the holes have been shortenened/changed so no par 5's and a lot of temp greens. As we didn't have a card was guessing our way round the course. After the round raised all this in the shop (glad to say Someone was there when we finished) not so much as an apology or explanation to what's going on. Shocking service and course at the moment, won't be going near the place for a long time.

First time playing the course, appauling how they can charge up to 36 pounds for a round on this course, don't tell you that you only play 17 holes, course is in horrendous condition, greens are terrible, chunks taken out of them and filled with sand, temp greens, no par 5s, big green fences put up in the middle of old holes, par 3s in the middle of old par 4s, avoid this course at any cost!

Having played this course on numerous occasions in the past, we were very disappointed to find out on arrival that the course was undergoing a major redevelopment. This meant that there were only 17 holes to play. There was no mention of the work on their website.

A number of holes were either shortened from their original length, which meant temporary greens.

A hole was seemingly botched in order to create two holes.

The majority of the greens were very poorly maintained, with massive bare patches and unevenness.

It seems that due to the redevelopment the whole course has been massively neglected.

I feel rather cheated. I will not be returning.

Hi, I've played Owston Hall many times but this is the last....

There's so many changes going on it's criminal to charge a green fee

The greens are appalling, the 1st hole you play is the second hole on the card if you get me, you don't play a no 1 because at the minute there isn't one, so the lad in the golf shop said just play any hole you want to make up.....

The back half of the course is all fenced off so it isn't as long, they've plonked in a couple par 3s instead of the par 5s with tempgreens....it's a crying shame what they've done, never mind charging to play

The fairways weren't as bad but the greens I've seen better down the local park.

Overall....stay away, walk the course before you pay your money....

Owston pay an play 9 hole is in nick

booking my round with teeofftimes.com was very easy.

Its just a shame that the course is under reconstruction, so the course layout as changed from when I last played owston too many temporary greens. If they can close the footpath in the middle of the course it would make a big difference to the vandalism caused around the course. I will play it again when the course is finished..

Played this course lots of times always enjoyed it not now did not like the changes that have been made hope they are only temporary

Course now changed to a lower par course. plenty of temporary fairway greens. All the good par 5s gone!

£12 PLUS £1 booking fee was not worth the money at all.

The course lay out completely changed and lots of work going on. It will take a good year for it to mature now.

You can see that the course will be outstanding when the half a million renovations are complete. The course will then be championship standard. However at the moment only 17 holes are playable and several shortened by temporary tees or greens. However we only paid £6 each so can't really complain, but it would have been nice to know the conditions beforehand. Saying that, the staff and the owston hall was excellent and will be a great weekend break when everything is done.

Played this course yesterday and can safely say I won't be playing it again. When we arrived we were told that they only actually had 17 holes, with 3 of those being on temporary greens.

There is clearly work being done to the course as they appear to have sold or lost land as there were no fences up in parts of the course, cutting a few holes in half to make them half the distance. The temporary greens were barely different to the fairways, and the permanent greens that remained were in an awful condition on some holes (see pic).

The bunkers had little sand in them so it was difficult to play a bunker shot, especially with there being no rakes on the course so you were always likely to end up in someone else's prints.

Overall I would definitely say it isn't worth playing with far better courses in the area.

We returned to Owston after 3 years to find a big green fence across what was the 4th! There was no one in the proshop for our early tee off so we were not informed the course is undergoing huge changes. Temporary greens, poor signage, holes now gone and the old greens in terrible condition the worst I've seen in a long time, I was informed later of vandalism, we were so pleased we got a £6 deal on tee off times. We got a map and card after the 9th but we couldn't wait to get off. We always enjoyed the course before but will not return until the work is finished (2 years approximately). Please don't pay slot to play here you will be disappointed.

regular play this course, and keep going back knowing how fantastic it can be.

i find to appreciate this course the more i play it. for first timers it can feel rather long and featureless.

Fairways are in very good kempt but greens at the moment arre struggling.(will come good).

The fairways were in very good condition , shame that three or four greens were in poor condition and no rakes in the bunkers but all in all a good round of winter golf will definitely go back as although a longish course its easy walking

Turned up with my 2 friends expecting to play a top course.. From the off on the 1st tee we noticed no rakes at the bunkers (non at any), the greens were very very poor, tyre marks on some off them, holes, bald patches etc etc.. Overall i was expecting more more and thought the feel off the course had that of a run down council run course..£15 so got it cheap but will never ever be going back..
