Thorough Enjoyable but tricky

I played my best ever golf getting 38 points but this was a course that made you think about your shots to take advantage of the numerous sloped fairways both up and down and sideways. Course was in generally good condition considering the very dry weather. I really enjoyed it.

Slow play

Two ball in front of us were let through by a three ball however three ball were ridiculous sow even with 2 buggies

Spent time on 9 th green practising putting which was y at all annoying

Perhaps some staff out and about to speed up play would help as it’s not my job as customer to complain to other customers

Gave up after 9 holes it was that slow

Not sure I’d go again

The course design is okay. First 6 holes are very repetitive however for your money it’s not bad. However the course conditions were not good. Bad greens, dry, loads of divots, not well maintained. Pace of play on a Sunday was really poor as well. I understand it being a public golf complex and a Sunday is busy, but it took nearly 7 hours to do 18 holes! Not sure, even for £19.10, that I’d play here again.

This golf course is well maintained from tee to greens and for the price its a steal will be going back at least once a week for the foreseeable future.

stopped after 9

This course 25 years ago was rated in the top 3 public courses in the country … now it is in a poor state … fairways like playing on concrete , bunkers are a disgraceful condition and the greens are a 4/10 …. we stopped after 9 holes due to slow play … at the 9th hole par 3 there was 3 groups waiting to tell off ..:: total joke

Great for the price you pay.

This course is good, I always enjoy it, for a beginner golfer like myself who just wants to get out and play golf but don’t want to have to pay £40-£60 a round this is perfect.

The club house is nice and serves nice pizzas. The club shop there’s not much going on in there.

But overall great fun to play and at a decent price.

Good but needs some TLC

First time at Panshanger.

Had a great breakfast before our round.

Found the course interesting, some memorable holes but let down by the overall condition. The greens were on the whole good, as were the fairways. However a number of the tees and bunkers weren’t in a good state of repair.

Having said that, for the price on a bank holiday it was pretty good. Pace of play wasn’t bad and the staff in all areas were friendly and helpful.

I’d play it again.

Great.

One of the best public courses you will ever play. A great variety of holes. It struggles on some holes with drainage in the winter but its great when its dry. Beautiful mature trees. You could never get bored with this course. The people of Welwyn are lucky to have this on their doorstep.

Quality couse

Deservedly one of the best municipal courses in the country, course was very well maintained only complaint was as the sun was shining everybody taking advantage and play was a little slow. However to pay less than £20 for a course of this quality more than makes up for it!!

Amazing Course

Absolutely amazing course, with stunning countryside views. Love the open fairways, but you don’t want to land in the rough. Some challenging holes too, especially if you don’t stay on the fairways. You also have a driving range, nets, putting green and a nice little clubhouse, with outside tables.
