Six Hills Golf Club

It was a pretty decent course was a bit windy that day wasn’t really busy the only issue I had was there was a lot of geese on the fairway of the last hole but the grass was still in good condition. We didn’t really go into the club house much but the shop seemed to be good prices and they had a fridge you could buy bottles/cans of beer from for a decent price

Played this course for the first time, must admit it was in the middle of a warm dry spell we have been experiencing. Easy to find with ample parking available. Clubhouse could be missed as the 1st tee is the opposite side of the car park. Easy sign in with staff very pleasant, food and drink available to take away (drink/snacks) with a small supplies shop available too. The course itself was rather quirky, with quite a few short par 4's. The fairways were dry as expected and the greens were in need of some TLC, the greens are extremely slow. The only defence the course offers are its bunkers and there are plenty of them. The front 9 is rather bland basically marching up and down the field. The second 9 poses more interest from 10 onwards where you do have to engage a little course management. It finishes with a very long Par 5 which is a proper golf hole.

Its another course off my Leicestershire bucket list but not necessarily one i will be racing back too. At £26 on a weekend I suppose it just meets your VFM.

The greens were green, the fairways short and a fair bounce was given during what may be a very dry summer.

My negatives were lack of information about a map and scorecard location before tee off. So played blind , the course and the amazing green keeper kept us on track. Some lovely tricky shots to work out for me as a fairly new golfer and overall an excellent round of golf.

Watch for Goose droppings, and range balls . But also take in some marvellous scenery shots of a very beautiful course.

Will definitely play again.

We have played this course a few times now. It’s challenging but enjoyable. Beautiful and well kept. The staff are so lovely and really make it a welcoming course to visit.reasonable price too.

Highly recommend!

Excellent value for money for the condition of the course.

Pleased to say I was pleasantly surprised by Six Hills. Great value municipal course and "millionaires golf" for a Friday afternoon. Course is well maintained and in good condition. A lot of geese on the course with their young so you have to watch where you walk and wheel your trolley. Staff very friendly. We will be back. Thanks for a lovely afternoon of golf and a nice cuppa afterwards in lovely mugs.

What I like about Six Hills:

- There's reasonable variation across the 18 holes (terrain, hazards, shape)

- There's a few holes where first shot is critical

- Some holes the pin can't be seen from tee which adds intrigue for first time players

- The lake and ponds add interest

- It's maturing nicely

- Tees and fairways are well maintained

- Many greens are undulating or raised to add to the challenge

What could be better:

- The greens, although fairly true, are fairly poor from a grass point of view

- Most of the bunkers don't have enough sand and it's a bit coarse

- The 150yd markers aren't always obvious

- Too many people leave broken tees on the tee and/or fail to get their rubbish in the bin

- No engagement at the point of registering my round in clubhouse

First time playing this course, and as Im a beginner I found it fairly challenging but really enjoyable. Greens were quite fast and well

Kept. Will be going again

First time here with a friend. Lovely course, well maintained. Definitely coming back.
