Quirky, short course.

This was my first time playing here, and I would play again. A short course with some challenging and gettable holes. No need for the driver for a lot of it. Greens were in good condition. Unfortunately played at the same time as a senior comp so a lot of waiting around on shots and tee boxes. Would enjoy a free flowing round here.

Challenging Course

Quite a testing course, chose a time when a society went out ahead of us so play was quite slow but there was no hurry. Greens had been spiked but will come goog after rain and a few cuts. I'm 60 and still relatively fit but I knew I'd had a round of golf when I finished as it's quite hilly, so any older guys in the category of dodgy hips, knees or ankles might want to consider hiring a buggy. Enjoyable course. ⛳👍

Good Course

Passed this course for the last 20 years. Didn’t know what to expect but overall for £20 it was well worth the money. Ravenworth has a funky layout and greens next to T-boxes was alittle alarming but ok. The course is slightly slow playing but that was down to the more senior members and like I said greens next to T boxes or overlaps on holes. Didn’t bother me as practiced chipping and putting.

Fairways ripple with the land and greens slow but ok.

Can’t comment about clubhouse as never went in but it looked ok from outside.

Club pro very welcoming.

Firstly met by an extremely warm welcome from the gentleman in the pro shop. Talked us through the course in a very clear and friendly manner. The course is very enjoyable. Interesting and varied and in good condition, we really enjoyed it and will return!

Quirky Layout

Played on a sunny Thursday, got there early for some putting/striking practice instead of getting outta car and duffing 1st drive, joined in with 2 young lads on their 1st visit here hopefully I helped them on where the holes were as a lot of blind shots to greens, loved it always do will be back again soon

Windy weather
Walked

Ravensworth

Cold and windy, 1st Jan 2026 Morning.

No one on the course so very fast round,

For the time of year the course wasn't bad, But a lot of roped off areas around the greens, understandable, so had to walk back and forth the trolly when around greens.

Winter tees, The greens were in good condition for the time of year.

For £20 fee it was well worth the money.

A big up to the guy in the shop, Very chatty and helpful.

Don't know if i missed it, but couldn't see the air blower to clean trolly and shoes when finished, might be me ?

Over all well worth £20, would play there again.

Take your wellies

Good course with an interesting layout. Greens were surprisingly good for December but all fairways with only a few exceptions were poor / unplayable with very wet, thick mud. Took longer to clean clubs, trolley, shoes etc than to play 18 holes! We used our fairway mats in order to get round.

Wet weather
Walked

Too cramped up

Our set off time was delayed by 30min and on the course you'd be often waiting 2-3 groups ahead of you. Holes/fairways crossed each other so you'd be waiting due to that as well. Not vey well paced game and poor organisation. Greens were excellent however.

Need a map to get around a poor course

Very poorly maintained and terribly designed course. Fairways cross all the time resulting in 12 people 2 carts and 4 golfers in buggy’s all on the same fairway. If you could call them fairways. Very little difference between the rough and fairway & not in the good way. Leaves everywhere also making it almost impossible to find a ball if u hit it over 150 yards. Tee boxes an greens right next to each other so you spend more time listening for ‘FORE’ and ducking than playing golf. One to avoid in my opinion.
