Staverton Park Hotel and Golf Course

Simply, don’t waste your money trying to play Staverton in Winter. The course isn’t maintained, the excuse is “ we are not busy during the week” No food, no working Handicap system, The practice area mats had no tees. No groundwork done on the course. No bunkers raked no fairways cut. Granted it’s late February but if you can’t maintain the course don’t open it. There’s a website but it doesn’t provide up to date info on course condition ( no trolleys all bags have to be carried). I feel I wasted my money and could have arranged to play elsewhere if basic information on what to expect was made available.

I have played Staverton many times and the course is always in great condition. Today was no different especially for the time of year.

Will be back again.

Have played Staverton a few times and we really like the parkland layout. The course undulates well. Given the time of year the course was in excellent overall condition. Saying that the tees were a bit all over the place. Some off mats, some off tees. Felt like they don’t prepare well for winter golf. This probably explains why you couldn’t record a score on MyEG which was frustrating. A more structured approach is required to meet the requirements of winter golf.

Overall though a great course and we had a great visit on a very quiet day.

Always enjoy playing here, a few lovely right to left dogleg par 5's and 4's make it a worthwhile trip

Great course layout and long enough to really open the shoulders on, pace of play here us becoming increasingly an issue though.

Course understatablyhaa suffered from a lack of water on the fairways but Greens were very good and I love the layout.

Would certainly recommend using a buggy as its pretty hilly.

Great value late tee time.

BH weekend, very busy but pace of play not too bad. Played here a few times and it’s a great course layout with interesting holes. This time greens were average (at best) and the boxes needed TLC.

This is actually a good course with interesting holes. However the greens were slow and inconsistent the fairways had almost no grass cover and at one point there were 3 groups all waiting on the same tee.

The clubhouse is soulless and the staff charmless

I played Staverton Park twice in 3 days this week. It was roasting hot on Monday and the fairways were baked out and very firm. Greens were well watered and relatively slow in comparison but that was welcome. The course has some great holes and is challenging off the tee where you need to be accurate and it helps to know where you're going. The 2nd in particular requires a draw off the tee for a right hander and you can get a lot of run down the hill and reach the par 5 in 2. My only complaints would be the bunkers, and there are a lot of them, had inconsistent amounts of sand in them and were not raked by many of the other guests. The walk from the 9th green to the 10th tee is lengthy and it is a very hilly course so not an easy walk especially on a hot day. The par 3's are quite long off the back tees but not the best holes on the course. Signature hole for me would be the par 5 11th which plays dramatically downhill and a major dog leg left.
