Can’t fault the course.

The members made us as welcome as a fox in a hen house and spoiled our day out.

Visiting South Moor for the second time and the same thing happened on both occasions, that is the members made us as welcome as a fox in a hen house.

Nice surprise

First time playing South Moor and it was a great little course. The greens were much faster than they looked and rolled true. Glad we got a buggy (£25) as it is on the side of a hill with some big elevation changes. Would like to play again having seen is as has several blind shots. Always nice to play a course with friendly locals on it!

Nice course

First time playing South Moor and it was an enjoyable course. The greens were in top condition and rolled well. The course is hilly so I’d recommend a trolley if not a buggy when available. Some blind shots which makes it difficult not knowing the course. Can’t comment on staff or food and drink due to covid restrictions but clubhouse looked nice

Course immaculate

First time playing this course and really enjoyed it. Credit to ground staff as the greens are amongst the best i've seen, given the lack of rain we've had recently they were incredible and took spin.

The course presents a different challenge to most with short holes requiring accuracy and discipline off the tee. Scoring rewards if you can deliver accurate iron shots off the tee between 200-220, put your driver away!

June 1st 2020

No staff to welcome us presumably to covid situation, no club shop open, no one to show us around, give us a score card or point us in the right direction.

The course was very good and we enjoyed every hole. Well maintained fairways and nice playable greens.

Disappointed with there being no staff around after booking and paying online but not the end of the world.

Over all good course and will definitely play again.

Little gem

Excellent welcome from the pro, actually loaned me a fairway mat( usually £7 hire)

Course a bit wet in places, signage needs improvement, friendly members.

Will definitely return in the summer

Great layout and excellent value for money

Interesting layout with lots of variety. Plenty of short but challenging par 4’s and the short par 5 16th requires accuracy. Overall great course, good pace of play and excellent value for money. Also has a really well stocked pro shop for anyone needing any equipment or clothing. I would definitely play here again.

Great course but could easily be better !

Played for 1st time today and i must say the course is excellent and very challenging with most holes around hilly areas.

It was very windy which affected play quite a-bit but this didn't stop us having a great round. Highly recommended course and great value for money.. However !! What this course is lacking is signage/markers and tee direction, without a couple in front of us to follow we would have struggled to find the next tee box each time, no indication whatsoever.

Id strongly advise the course to correct this as its very difficult for 1st time players. Also unlike other courses there are very few litter bins, no ball wash facilities or drinking water, and no air jets to clean trolley/shoes after your round.. Its a shame really as the course is great. Course 9/10. Facilities 0/10.
