Royston Golf Club

We played on a day that was sunny and dry. Do not recommend carrying unless you are really fit. Lots of walking and climbing could be treacherous in wet weather. Fairways in general is ok patchy in some places. Interesting course overall.

Highly recomend playing this course, very interesting on a windy day

I can’t find anything on Golf now that states carrying only and when we got there we saw that everyone was carrying and had this confirmed on calling the clubhouse. We only had our trolleys and looking at our bodies and the terrain we knew this was unmanageable and they agreed to cancel.

Is it possible that such details could be put on golf now?

A very friendly and welcoming golf course. Lots of dog walkers, most stay away from fairways and greens.

great condition, challenging course, wonderful views!

Royston is a challenging course, with some tricky holes, and windy, with great views!

very good value, great condition, wonderful views, hilly!

Love the rough with the course gives it a special character. The greens immaculate. Definitely playing again. Get ready for a hilly walk but loved it.

Excellent greens. Difficult approaches to greens on several holes with bunkers and valleys.

Heathland course. With very undulating fairways.extreme slopes up and down .so beware. Greens in excellent condition tee boxes the same . If you go off fairway you are in long grass .This can be a problem especially as there is not much in the way of working out the distance the ball has covered.

There are also ramblers about as it’s on public land So be careful .Overall though a change from parkland courses .Only negative really is that the clubhouse is a distance from the first tee (400 yards)and there is actually an unconnected sports bar by the 1st tee .Very odd .Overall a very good course and a good physical workout over the hills and dales .

Great course in excellent condition. Greens were fantastic, very fast but true. Rough was unforgiving so best to keep to the fairways.

Only negative was lack of sand in green side bunkers, and what sand that was there was shallow and poor quality.

Overall a very enjoyable afternoon.

The pro shop were really helpful and friendly. The overall condition of the course is good and the greens are in nice condition and quite fast.

As you would expect from a heathland course it’s pretty featureless and a bit boring.

Some holes were very challenging given the wind. They have a couple of lovely par 3’s and the majority of the holes you have to be pretty accurate to get (and stay) on the green as it’s so fast.

Overall a good course, just not for me, I prefer a course with features like woodland and water etc not just fairways and rough. I got it for a ‘hot deal’ but I wouldn’t pay full price for it, as it is definitely overpriced compared to others.

Would definitely make sure you get a buggy unless you like pushing your trolley uphill and are fit as this could quite easily add an hour on to your normal play time

Only spoiled by kids running on the fairways but it was a beautiful day so lots of walkers.

Went on a pretty sunny day, the greens rolled extremely well. Not going to lie I probably should have checked beforehand what the course was like because I'm not the fittest guy in the world! So much elevation change! You get the feel from the first hole where you are literally driving up what felt like at least 30m elevation to get to the first green. It's a work out for sure if you're hoofing it! Otherwise an amazing course

This is a very welcoming club where the course has a incredible layout, is dry and playable all year. Whilst not a long course, every shot and every club will be called upon!
