Temporary tees
Greens and fairways were in good condition considering the weather / time of year. Temporary tees on much of the holes. Some father forward then you would like,. One par 5 became a par 4 for example. The course is very basic and straight bar one or two holes but some tough bunker positions, and two holes were you need to be hitting 260 carries or you need to play up. For the price £30 it was rather expensive considering most tees are temporary and it was not always clear where they were on the holes either nor is it clear where the next hole was when walking off the green. I would think in summer it isn’t a bad golf course and I could see myself playing there again but not in its current state and at the current price.
Great course but no signage
This was my first time playing here and it is a lovely challenging course which has well maintained greens and fairways. The course is currently undergoing work to several tee boxes to make it better for spring/summer play and there were a number of temporary tees in use however this was to be expected and not an issue. The staff were friendly as we're all other groups I encountered. The course has a number of signature holes and club selection took some thought. Greens played true even though they were a little frozen. My only negatives for the course are that the tee box markers were not present on every hole so it made finding the teeing off location a little difficult and signage to the next hole was non existent. Other than these minor points I will definitely play there again.
Nice challenging course
Course is a challenging one nice mix of par 3 lengths.
The tee boxes leave a lot to be desired maybe 1 or 2 flat boxes apart from that good course.
Avoid for now.
The greens at Stevenage were in a rotten state when we played there. Almost all of them had freshly laid strips of turf in them and were impossible to putt over. This is the second bad experience we’ve had with this course recently so we’ll be giving it a miss for the foreseeable future.
Great value for money, nice amenities, no waiting around, interesting & varied course, a few of the tee boxes were in poor condition but apart from that very pleasant round.
Expensive for a council course
Conditions of fairways and greens not as good as I thought they would be after the covid break. Some lovely holes and challenges and things to avoid on every hole.
Great for the recent conditions
After days of trying to find a local tee time this became available. It is clearly a popular course and for the amount of traffic and with the recent wet weather the course conditions were good.
Really enjoyed the course it provided a great challenge and can’t wait to play in the sunnier months. Staff were friendly too.
Never been before - will be back
This is a bit further afield for my group but we were able to get a good tee time at short notice so we made the extra drive and it was absolutely worth it. Absolute gem of a facility, a good honest 18 hole layout which wasn't too challenging but had enough danger to certainly make you think. Plenty of interesting holes with elevation changes and slight doglegs. The on-course maps/signage could do with a refresh as there were a lot of hazards (including a substantial river) that aren't shown on the hole maps on each tee, which was a bit of an issue for first-timers. Fairways were hard and tight due to the recent weather but the greens had been well maintained and were cut a little long/slow, but were fair and rolled true.
Excellent driving range with powertees for a warm-up and a friendly welcome in the pro shop.
