Average

Sadly the course was extremely wet when we played. So it’s difficult to really give a decent review of this course. It’s a tough course physically so for those with any mobility or health issues, a buggy would be recommended. The holes are quite challenging and enjoyable to play. We played as a 2 ball and at a decent pace it still took us 4 hours to do 18 holes. I would play here again but it would need to be dry and I’d have a buggy next time. The club house was nice and the staff very friendly. I can’t comment on the food because the course was quite and they’d stopped serving food at 4, we didn’t finish until after that.

Great Course

First time playing this course, Pro in the shop was very helpful and gave good advise for going round this course.

Pace was great.

The conditions of the course was excellent, even though it was a little wet today but that can’t be helped due to weather, but the greens and fairways where in excellent condition. We could tell that this course will be better in the summer and would definitely be coming back to play here very soon….

Professional friendly and helpful.

Scampi and chips in the clubhouse afterwards was very good and the staff were very chatty and helpful.

Super greens despite the recent heavy downpours

Played on a rainy Saturday after a few days of heavy rain. Greens were in great condition despite weather. Not a great deal of casual water on fairways but there were some very wet & slippy areas in the rough, especially down left side of 18. Some of tee boxes could do with some levelling work.

Pace of play very good, but then there were not many golfers out.

Great course, excellent greens

Blown away by the condition of the course after the exceptionally dry summer we’ve had, particularly the greens which were unblemished, quick and true.

Tough but good course!

Good course in excellent condition with the exception of bunkers that urgently need more sand in them to allow players to get under the ball properly. Challenging layout that requires accuracy from tee to green due to some quite severe slopes and very punishing rough – it’s very easy to loose balls even from shots that appear to be “down the middle” off the tee. Putting is also tough due to sloping greens that can make achieving par difficult. Recent imposition of some quite severe speed humps on Middles Road by the local council is a nuisance – hopefully it won’t put to many people off coming to the course.

Southmoor golf

We played Southmoor early Thursday morning so no food was available but there was a hot drink machine to use. The course is in fantastic condition and the weather was kind. The staff are dry friendly and helpful and the pro shop is very well equipped with some good bargain’s. Definitely play again soon

BEST TRUE ROLL GREENS YOU COULD EVER WISH FOR. LIKE A SNOOKER TABLE!

Compliments to the green keepers! Couldn't wish for a truer roll! like putting on a championship snooker table, but with plenty of breaks to read. Beautiful course! Very challenging course layout, with lots of undulations (would recommend buggy) but a really fun challenge. No two holes the same and a lot to think about for strategy/club selection. Loved it and would highly recommend to any level of golfer!

Panama hat member

Played this today with two pals , very hot conditions that in mind the greens were quite slow and took a few holes to get used to . It was very busy today and play was fairly slow ! . We got stuck behind a 3 ball and had 2 lovely fellas on our back side in a buggy . As the group behind them were looking for a lost ball we let these fellas through . This following group finally caught up before we teed of with one guy In a members shirt chuntering " for f@@k sake " . Pace picked up for the next couple of holes but it slowed again at the 15th when just as we were teeing of this group behind without a courtesy wave or do you mind if we just cut across did just that ! If your members treat guests like that then members are what they are
