Course was great, play was so slow
Great course really well kept, greens were quite slow but ran nice and true, the course was jam packed and was a really slow round took nearly 5 hours to get around. Backed up on each tee box.
Lovely course - very slow play
Lovely course and in excellent condition. Greenkeepers do a fantastic job. Fairways, greens and tees all excellent. Very picturesque course. Quite a bit of water but able to avoid with low risk game management. Only annoyance was the very slow play. Got stuck behind two sets of slow players who were stuck behind the last group in a touring party. A bit frustrating and spoiled the round to be honest
Great Value
Excellent value for money. Course us much more playable than in previous years with rough grades. ReLly fun golf course with variety in holes.
Extremely slow play
Slowest round i have ever played, had to walk in it was taking over 6 hours. Poor responses from management team and marshall.
Extremely slow play
Play is extremely slow (6 hours on a weekend). Course is deteriorating and needs TLC.
Nice but needs some TLC
The course is a lovely layout with some fantastic views. The main issue is its unkempt in areas. The place just needs some tlc. For a premium golf resort you expect the course to look pristine but it's scruffy. The greens were ok. Apart from the first which had tyre tracks through the middle. What let it down was the rough. You don't expect the semi rough to be above your ankles and trying to find your ball just off the fairway was a pain. As for past the semi rough. Forget it. If your ball goes into the full rough the chances of finding your ball is a no no. The course has so much potential but it just needs looking after better.
I've never played a course with so many divots not replaced.
Lots of mud and unrepaced divots. The course was not in good shape. Lots of mud caused by vehicles driven on wet.ground.
Poor conditions
Seems like the Priestman is forgotten about vs the Hunting course. First green had patchy grass and dead grass, with previous 3 hole positions still visible.
Overall most fairways were patchy, with clearly old (dead) divot marks.
Nice course, bad weather.
We played in the rain all round but the course held up well. Greens were a bit inconsistent but other than that a very nice course.
Championship standard
For years Slaley was the ‘go to’ place in the north east. Even with the addition of close house I would still put Slaley on par with them, this is a thinkers course, rewarding for the big shots but not much room for error, a great test of golf.
Back again.
Play here a few times a year, always seem to get slow play with the groups in front of me.
Nice place to play, course was it's usual good standard and greens where good.
