Review from July 2025

Course isn’t overly long, and very score-able. Greens were in pretty good shape

My only criticism I can offer is after the 3rd (might have been 4th) hole I don’t think it’s clearly enough signposted to head left instead of right (which takes you to the 16th, which is hard to notice as marker is at the back of the tee box not facing you as you walk to the tee box)

Bar area is decent, but the Guinness we were poured wasn’t the best. Maybe order a lager instead

Turning into a little Gem of a place!

If you’ve not played this course for a few years and maybe written it off …then think again …!!!

Brew man magnet and new investment have changed this once average country track into a little gem of a course…

The place is steadily being transformed into a vey pleasant place to come and have a laid back but good guilty round of golf all off the holes have something to offer players at all levels… and the obvious hard work that the green keepers have put in is starting to pay off …. !

And when you’ve finished your Round there a quality Indian Restaurant 100 yards from the 18thTee !

Couldn’t ask for much better well done to all concerned!

Best course this year.

Stapleford is the best kept course I have played this year. Greens and fairways were immaculate.. we had a full English breakfast included in our round excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly especially Sam. I would easily recommend this course to everyone.

Lovely golf course and very good value for money

Saturday the 26th of April with a 10.12am tee time

This was the first time any of us three had played here and first impression of driving in was good plenty of parking spaces which is always helpful.

On arrival at the check in we was greeted by a lovely lady and when i told her our booking she informed us that the price was cheaper than what we booked online and was actually five pounds less.

The round with a full English breakfast and a trolley was only 41 pounds and the breakfast was absolutely lovely.

Anyway now to the golf our tee time was 10.12am and we teed of on time play was a bit slow due to a men's competition going on in front of us but it didn't spoil our round.

Plenty of water around the course which was nice and the fairways were in good condition.

The Greens were ok except one of them which was vandalised by a motorbike (idiots).

Finished our round and headed back for a much needed pint of beer which again was lovely and cold and not to expensive at five pounds a pint of lager which we took outside to drink as the weather was lovely.

Another very good touch was the lady that greeted us on our arrival came over and gave us a plate of Sandwiches and said she had made too many but was very nice of her to offer these to us which we gladly accepted and they were top notch.

I would not hesitate to come back here and we will again in the next month or so without any hesitation at all.

Very good course and great staff you will not be disappointed playing here and one of the best courses for value for money.

Regards

Tom

Great course

Good course with a good layout. Unfortunately this time round it looked like some do as you likey's have been on a couple of greens on their motor bikes but these marks are being repaired and it's no normal for this course. I have played this course many times and I think it's great fun. Would definitely recommend.

Cheap but poor greens

What you don't know when you book was the reason it was cheap was that the greens had been topsoiled which were told when we arrived. Even if they weren't topsoiled they were in a pretty poor condition generally.

The rest of the course was very nice and the greens were improved we would come back.

Terrible greens

Could be a really good course with varied hole layouts and some nice water features, but the greens were virtually unplayable, really uneven and covered in sand patches, some looked like they had been vandalised, not a mention of this when we checked in?

Very Enjoyable

For 25 handicappers this was a very enjoyable round. Fair fairways but lots of water. Greens had been hollow tined but were still ok and quite fast. Had a couple of pints and a lovely fry up in the quaint clubhouse after,

Greens are horrific

Went out at 7.38am, and had nobody in front of us that we could see, so we controlled the pace of the play.

I get greens need maintenance on them, but every hole we played had been worked on, and were covered in sand, which made putting almost impossible.

Played here a few time last year, but at £25 a round, with greens like this, I'll be playing at other courses on the Golf Now app
