Southwell Golf Club

Not the best of starts, 7:30 tee time booked..Proshop wasn’t open to sign in, get told any local rules etc

Front 9 quite quirky being inside a racecouse

Whole course pretty poorly sign posted especially 15th green to 16th tee, spent 5 minutes wondering round looking where to go!

Course condition was pretty good considering recent weather

Probably won’t return!

Not a big fan, green conditions were very patchy big cracks in them. Course was poorly signposted from hole to hole making guesswork on what tee box to play off. I got a cheaper deal through app and didn’t think it was worth £19 in month of Sundays after hour I travelled to play course. No buggies available as they were being locked up as person looking after course was going home and didn’t want them to be vandalised. Overall a poor experience and poor course. I Won’t be going back in a hurry… if you were paying £30 to play this course I’d have asked for a refund

Nice course with 2 very different 9 holes, 2nd 9 has small greens which makes it more challenging

100 yards to the ‘green’, I thought - as long as I land this over the bunker, it should roll on. Turns out there was no bunker.

The ‘greens’ were more black, covered in everything but grass and unenjoyable to put it nicely.

The course itself has potential to be lovely, especially the back 9 but can’t escape the elephant in the room. Not value for money on this occasion.

Ideal course for a round front 9 quite easy back 9 a lot more challenging.

7th hole is very daunting short par 3 but too much on it your in the drink at the back too short your in the drink. Club selection is key here.

Second round here but first time in winter. Course in excellent condition, a couple of greens were bumpy and needed a roller, but happily still not a temp in sight.

Lots of water in play, especially on the front nine, and a challenge for golfers of all abilities,

Given that the green fees are scandalously cheap I would happily give Southwell five stars, and will definitely be back.

Played this course a couple of times and only gets better every time, greens are well looked after and the tee boxes are superb. Great value for money and staff and captain were very welcoming.

Course was interesting with the front 9 being enclosed in the racecourse. Staff in the pro shop took the time to explain local rules and give some tips on the first few holes. Staff and members in the bar were equally friendly and accommodating, welcoming and nice place to play golf!

The greens where in such bad conditions, huge patches of no grass just mud with sand chucked over the top. The fairways where in better condition than the greens. Very poor when paying £27 a round, a lot better courses with immaculate greens within a 10 mile radius to play at instead

I've played here twice now and have enjoyed it both times. It's a short course in terms of length but still challenging especially for an average golfer like me. The members and staff are super friendly and I enjoy the layout of the course. The greens need a bit of work but the fair ways are in great condition. What I like about this course is the back 9 is completely different to the front 9 which makes this course enjoyable, varied and challenging. Overall great value for money and I will definitely visit again.

I needed to go to Newark and decided late to play a local course. The first o holes are on the racecourse and I was very pleasantly surprised by how long and tricky these holes where with lakes, bushes and bunkers. The back 9 was more conventional. Many holes need careful drives as that is where the ditches and trees are hiding!

Excellent course for the beginners and intermediate
