Staverton Park Hotel and Golf Course

The course was well maintained, particularly the greens. Interesting course, with holes requiring thought, not just drive and chip. Very quiet, with no pressure from other players. Great value for money and a superb bacon roll to finish!

My son and I wanted to play a quality course in the local area and when we arrived we were really excited. We went to the 1st tee and there was a line of buggies, a society, all claiming the same tee time as us. They kindly let us tee off in front of them, but we were now rushing down the 1st. The group in front were only just at the green and the society were firing balls at us from behind. 2 hrs 20 later we got to the 9th where we abandoned. The course was clearly overbooked and although set in a spectacular position in gorgeous parkland, the greens are rubbish and it’s generally just rough around the edges. It could be stunning and a really good test of your game. Shame, but we headed back and had a cracking 9 on our local course, so all was not lost.

Shocking, pace of play was poor and the clubhouse was closed at 6pm on a Saturday evening

The course layout is good with a nice variation of holes. The fairways are nicely pronounced with the first cut very visible and it looks like two cutter widths wide.The greens are big and are nice surfaces to putt on albeit the slowest greens I have ever putted on and had to really hit the ball hard to get it to the hole. Playing the 10th hole was dangerous, balls from the driving range were constantly coming onto our fairway. More money needs to be spent on more fencing further down the right hand side looking down from the range. Getting a drink afterwards proved difficult and had to wait 45 minutes, looked like they had one person pulling the pints and one waiter. Not sure of the status of whoever owns Staverton, but I feel the place needs some money spent on it as there are one or two tatty areas on the course.

Unfortunately 2 groups playing in front of us kept swapping players and even playing holes together as a 6 ball which meant they held us up significantly. The time it took us to play 9 holes was almost 3 hours!. Therefore we as a group took the decision not to play the last 9 holes. We were all disappointed as this ruined a great days golf, one we were all looking forward to! Despite paying to play 18 holes we ended up playing 9.

Were were not happy at the end of the day!!!!

Course is great.

Nice condition

Just needs better signage to each hole when playing for first time, as this was poor and confusing.

After the enforced break it was great to get out on the course. Staverton GC was in lovely condition. It’s a terrific place to play.

This is the second year running we have played here on Boxing Day. We were apprehensive after all the rain we had, however we needn’t have worried as the course was in great condition.

Amenities closed due to COVID but we knew that when we arrived.

Great day out for £20
