South Moor Golf Club

Nice course and layout. The greens had just been completely covered in sand and this made it pretty impossible to putt properly. If I knew this at point of booking, I’d have booked somewhere else. £30 a man to have greens like that isn’t good unfortunately.

Was really looking forward to playing here and so glad l did really enjoyed a good game on a challenging course every hole different , made very welcome on arrival by staff and golf members

Very enjoyable, no complaints.

Very challenging course

Great round here, recommend to any golfer of mid-low handicap, high handicap’s may struggle due to course difficulty.

Everyone should play here at least once

The course conditions are significantly affected by the weather. A strong or gusting wind makes an already challenging course very tricky.

Despite drainage having been improved in recent years, heavy rain does pool on some fairways.

A challenging course due to the topography, made more challenging by the jeopardy for going off line.

A well-looked after course with decent off-course facilities - practice range (free of charge), large chipping/bunker practice area and green.

Lovely course, Great layout and Challenging. Some of the holes are pretty steep as the course is on the side of a hill so you will need a buggy if this is an issue. On the other hand the elevation changes in the hole sets up some great looking holes. Course is in great condition especially given the dry weather this summer. You could end up paying more for a lesser quality course in my opinion. Would definitely recommend!

My only disappointment was when we arrived the pro shop was shut and no one in the club house , so asked a member if that had a score card we could use , also we would have stopped after for a meal and drink , but nothing going on , never played a course that the pro shop is shut , strange , could have just turned up a played for free .

After my review of yesterday's round I'm pleased to say that today's round took me 2hrs 30mins👏

I play this course loads and recommend it to everyone, but unfortunately today I turned up 30mins prior to my tee off and viewed 24 County players waiting to tee off. I asked the pro if my tee off time would be affected, he said no but play will be very slow. Avarage 15-20 minutes waiting time on every hole, 4hrs 30mins to complete and I was playing by myself. Players behind me said that they were told that there was a glitch in the booking system that should have prevented bookings until later. Plenty players behind me only played 7 holes due to waiting times. Hopefully this is a one off, great for the club to host the event, but unfortunate for myself and other players on the day, hopefully quieter tomorrow as already pre booked to play the next day🤞🏌️

A really good day for it. On getting into the tight car park and set ready to go, I wasn't aware of a range that was on site. There wasn't a clear signage on where to go to register, the shop was closed and there was nothing setup on putting green or range giving direction or feel it was open. The course had people finishing the morning rounds but there was little to invite you in.

course was very quiet and full or 1 or 2 ballers in the afternoon which meant a fast pace was able to take play.

tee boxes are well labelled for each hole but need some TLC as they are in bad repair. The fairways, if you can call them that, are well mowed fields. There is little to no signage on the holes which you face blind most of the time, its a hit and hope to find your ball if you dont make the fairway. Its unforgiving off the fair way too. No second cut or fringe and you're into the rough sponge like moss, need a good eye.

There was one excellent thing of South Moor, the greens, wow. They were really well kept and fast, green and marble like speeds to putt on. Seriously the best part of the day.

If you like hill climbing then this is for you, nearly 6 miles of up and down, tests you on hot day like we had.

As for appropriate course attire, we saw no less than 3 people wearing tracksuits and there were teenagers running across the course aroudnthe 17-18th holes.

It was a difficult round for sure, i dont think i'll be back soon however.

We were fortunate to have a sunny round of golf at South Moor. The course is very picturesque, with a mixture of difficulty levels, and risk or reward holes. Overall, the course is very welcoming and I recommend it to everyone.

2012 was the last time l played here but course is still very good despite it's recent troubles. Apart from a bottle neck half way around whher we had to wait about 15mins the rest went smoothly. Staff very friendly as were people playing. Small bit of work has been done on some fairways but didn't affect anything anyway as you have a free drop off affected areas until it all grows back over. Greens were a in really good condition also.

Overall South Moor is excellent value for the £13 we paid and will be back in the future.

Played Southmoor a few times now and each time it’s had a ghostly atmosphere to it until you’re on the first tee. Pro shop and bar has never been open, no staff to be seen. However, first tee there’s always been 3 groups waiting to tee off and it’s kept the same pace throughout the round. Overall, course is decent and I would play again with a cheap tee time, but no way am I paying full price when there’s better courses 5 minutes away at better prices.

Really enjoyed our round, with some very nice holes amongst the 18, would recommend, absolute bargain for the price. Also everyone we came across, either staff or members we very welcoming!

Played today and I must say, the front 9 left a lot to be desired (bar the 8th) but the back 9 I’d come back for. Some great challenging holes. Good value at only £18 for a green fee.
