We all want Springhead to be great…
It is in all of our best interests for this course to be amazing… atrocious pace of play and poor course conditions. Greens in a very bad way. Thought it would be better by now after all these years, but it is what it is… some things never change.
A Test of Patience, Not Skill - Avoid if You Value Your Time
I recently had the misfortune of playing today and can honestly say it was one of the most frustrating rounds of golf I've ever experienced. While the course could be somewhat enjoyable, the complete disregard for pace of play made it an exercise in extreme patience rather than a fun day on course,
From the very beginning, it was clear I was in for a slow one. It felt like every hole was backed up, but the absolute low point came on the 5th hole where I witnessed the astonishing sight of three separate groups actively playing the hole at the same time. This isn't just slow, it's a failure of course management and scheduling which resulted in me leaving at the 5th.
If you're looking for a quick round, or even just a reasonably paced round, I strongly advise you to look elsewhere. Until they address their serious pace of play issues, I won't be returning.
Tatty
Played here Sunday afternoon was surprisingly quiet been a few years since played here and in my opinion the course looks tatty around the edges
Lack of definition between fairway and rough bunker edges not neat and greens not to bad a few bare patches due to the sun
Overall a good course but maybe a little more rough round the edges
Springhead golf course
Having not played here for a couple of years ,I was looking forward to playing . The course itself was OK, fairways as expected with the dry spell we have been having ,but it was the greens that let it down ,poor condition, large dead patches on at least 8 of them ,but having said that ,you are not paying the top price for a premium course ,overall I still enjoyed my round and would play it again
Average at best
Same old Springhead unfortunately. Just so average.
Tee box grass is too long, greens are dry and bumpy, some bunkers raked and some not, too much sand in some, not enough sand in others. Edges of bunkers look like they have been strimmed in months.
General layout is decent, and the rolling fairways make it interesting enough.
Temp tee on 10th ruins that hole.
Could be a good course. Buts it’s always been lacking in quality.
Not great
Visited here recently with a friend to play a round. The greens were in a terrible state as apparently crows have been at them, bald patches and dried/cracked ground on a lot of them so ball rarely rolls true.
They had some temporary greens up in places but these were somewhat overgrown and covered in weeds, so even with cups 3 times the size it was mostly luck if your ball got to the hole.
The layout is confusing and there are hardly any signposts or footpaths to indicate where to go, about half the holes your left trying to figure out where the next pin is.
Staff were friendly but the amenities are mediocre, pro shop is tiny and the club house feels almost like a pub in a car park. On top of all that the group Infront of us had a golfer playing in a wife beater tee and joggers, nothing against the guy, but it doesn't exactly instill confidence in a course with a supposed dress code.
The holes themselves were decent if you ignore the course conditions and confusing layout, so if it was well kept and better signposted it might be a decent course, but in it's current state I wouldn't want to play here again.
Only The Greens…..
Not played here for a while, joined up with a member after 3/4 holes, great guy. The course was in good condition, fairways and tee boxes cut. All of the surrounding trees/bushes well kept. The only issue was the greens, very poor and woolly. I understand there has been an issue and hopefully this will be resolved soon.
Greens in very poor condition
Overall the course is well kept but nearly all the green are knackered and will take so much work to get them back, such a shame as its got the potential to be a lovely course.
Worst Greens
Quite possibly the worst greens in the country,, and still charging full price for the ball to take 45 bobbles on the way to the hole. More like crazy golf.
Greens were in bad condition
A good number of the holes were in poor condition, large chunks missing like they had been run over in a vehicle
Also, was stuck behind a four ball of senior golfers. There were ample opportunity to allow my two ball to play through
Friendly Course
Some greens were in need of some significant attention, but all in all very good experience for winter golf round.
Would not rush back
The gentleman in the pro shop was very welcoming and friendly but unfortunately thats as far as the positives go for this course.
The fairways were more like the himalayas amd the greens were the worst iv seen. Iv played at places where the rough was in better condition than the greens at this place.
So we won't be rushing back anytime soon
Pleasantly suprised
First time back at Springhead for a number of years and was pleasantly surprised how well the course looked and played. I was warned by Mark in the ticket office that they were suffering from crows pecking insects out the green but flags were placed away from the damage and it never effected the round. The fairways were remarkably dry for this time of year with all 18 holes open with no temporary greens.
Very good and fully worth the money
