Rother Valley Golf Centre - Main Course

Booked this round of golf for two players on the Golf now website, when we arrived at the course we were told it had been double booked and we were playing in a round of four with two total strangers.

The guys we played with were alright but they were not happy either that they were not told when booking that this was going to happen.

A round of golf between friends should be just that, to turn up and be forced to play alongside strangers is just wrong.

Very underhand and unprofessional to sell the same round twice.

A really well laid out country park style course with a variety of holes - dog legs, elevated tees, a bit of water to contend with.

Perhaps a bit on the short side. Fairly wide fairways but the ground a bit on the firm side so not easy to take a divot. We had some difficulty reading the greens but that was our fault - they were well kept.

We were right behind a large party playing in a competition so play was very slow - 4 3/4 hours!

Having said all that we enjoyed our day and will certainly play again soon

Extremely disappointed with this round, because after constant overnight rains, and morning continual rain, we asked to re-jig our teetime till the following week! We were told the course was open so we could not amend our advanced tee time booking! After 9 holes we quit(first time in 35 years) because all the greens had standing water and standing water in many places around the greens!

To sumarise, we believe this course should have been closed and our tee times postponed to the following week, as requested early that morning.

I was very surprised with this course, my first time playing and for the price I did not except the quality of the course. It was busy but it's expected on a Saturday afternoon at such a course. The favourite hole had to be the par 3 with the water feature, all in all definitely will be visiting again!

It was enjoyable, a really good course, staff in the shop were so friendly and helpful as this was my first visit to the course, other pkayers were so helpful and courteous, 4 hours for a round, staff in the bar were unfriendly, food and drinks were expensive to other golf courses, which spoilt the day slightly

Overall the course is good. Fairways & greens are in good condition and you are punished if you stray too far off line. A couple of negatives for me 1) There is a lack of information at the tees, some don't have a marker at all and others just give the yardages. It would be good to have a map of the hole showing the distance to bunkers, water hazards etc. 2) The bunkers are in desperate need of fresh sand, it's like playing off concrete so impossible to get under the ball and blast out.

Very friendly staff in the golf shop (could give the young man in the bar a few tips on customer service!)

Rother Valley is one of the best value for money courses I've played. The layout of the course means that there are no boring 'up and down' sections with some great feaure holes.

It's a bit of a walk in you on you're on foot but I'm semi-fit with one knackered knee and managed it fine with a carry bag.

The round was really easy to book with teeoff times and really good value for money.

The course is big and well looked after, buggies are readily available although we didn't use one. Our tee time was 1132 but we arrived at 1115 and were able to tee off then. Friendly staff in the shop and a bar and restaurant on site.

Great course not what you expect

7th hole bang on, be carful on this one. very nice course, and a nice pint afterwards

For an established course the condition after a period of rain never fails to amaze me, how can a piece of ground hold so much water in beyond me. To say that the course is in need of some work is an understatement, Drainage definately, also in need of some general upkeep, paths, bunkers etc. Any day on the golf course is better than any day at work and that is still true but it takes a lot more effort when the surface water comes over the side of your golf shoes....on more than one occasion.

Booked on Glolf now for about the cost of my walking cart. Cost was 4 pounds and 3.50 for the cart. Brilliant. Course was very damp but playable. Greens were a bit shaggy but had good roll. Nice place to aply after a half day of work.
