Good value

Good value but the booking system seems a little adhoc. Tee times were available from 12 to 3pm with very few bookings. When we arrived it was absolutely packed. Took 5 hours for the round. I'm normally round in a buggy in 3hours.

Walk-ins don't get added to the system so no way of knowing how busy the course was. Staff said not busy buy the 4th hole had 4 groups on it at once.

Great Value For Money

Very cheap price to play a full 18 hole golf course. And the course was not in a bad condition at all. Highly recommend if you are looking for a cheap round of golf to play. Only problem with the course was the hole could sometimes feel a little bit repetitive and the greens felt a little bit on the smaller size and quite slow as they felt a little long. But other than those two small things brilliant

Nice course. Leave the driver!

Really enjoy it here. Played it a quite a lot.

What's nice is that you have to think about lots of holes it isn't just driver off the tee. Knowing your club distances to corners of dog legs comes in really handy..plenty of water to lose balls in - 5 penalty strokes for me! Still managed 3 birdies and shot 89. So happy overall.

Not all drivable

Love the fact this course is one you have to think your way round, and you can't pick the driver out of the bag at every tee box. There are strategically placed traps, dog-legs and this is a good test of your all-round golf skills with some nice greens which were true.

Worth a visit - would return

Some tricky holes where driving accuracy, dog legs, and length are key.

Fairways beginning to dry out.

Nice true greens

9th nowhere near clubhouse.

Some new nice big tees being built to extend Some holes.

Lovely patio by 18th Green to relax over a drink afterwards.

Lake balls; 8 for £5 ;)

Golf

Have not played here for a number of years and thought it was great. The greens although been through preparation were still very good. Overall I enjoyed the course and found it testing in places and would go back.

GETTING BETTER EVERY WEEK

Played Stapleford once a week in the last 5 weeks and the course is maturing all the time. It's a good test because the greens are drying out and you have to think you cant fire at the pins because the ball will not stick. Hard but fair. I love the place.
