The Springs Resort & Golf Club

Booked this without knowing the course and was very pleasantly suprised at the course condition, clubhouse and facilities. A lot of money appeasr to have been spent over the last few years and it is now a recommended course for a nice round of golf. Some water but not too taxing, lovely trees and open fairways.

Course was in great condition. Pace of play was a little slow on the front nine but improved after the group in front left and didn’t play the nine. Will definitely be coming back.

Do not play unless off peak.

We were held up after the 6th hole.

Multiple groups queuing on tee boxes.

One par 5 took 35 minutes to play.

Joined with a member for 2 holes who was playing through. She said it’s like this constantly, yet nothing has been done to fix it.

After 15 we walked off with another group behind us who travelled down from Scotland!

Incredibly disappointed.

Course is in mint condition. The greens have been well prepped for the summer and are running like lightening in comparison to the back-end of winter. A lot of effort has clearly gone into the tee boxes and fairways as they are both looking spectacular. Hope it stays good throughout the summer.

Course layout changed to suit boggy conditions near river - but not a problem - score cards altered according

Unfortunately stuck behind a slow 4

Enjoyable course will certainly come back

Lovely clubhouse

Lovely course with great on and off facilities. One of the best 19th holes I have seen overlooking the course.

Tee boxes ,fairways and green were very good and very surprising when we have had heavy rain recently.

The only disappointment is that they rejig the course with 2 holes lost due to being too wet as they are close to the river.

On the holes that are altered you haven't a clue what's going on with yards etc.

Turning up and seeing a lovely clubhouse we was thinking wow, the course must match the clubhouse, NO!! How wrong could we be, after the first couple of holes we thought this could be quite good, again how wrong could we be, absolute shambles of a course, holes moved no gps no signs to say where we should be going, for someone who hasn’t been there before surely you should be told on arrival about the changes. On the way out we decided to ask in the pro shop why there wasn’t any markers and why hasn’t been changed on the score cards, his reply was, well you should of had this explained to you!! Guess what, it was him that booked us in without explaining this to us, to be honest he didn’t really seem to care what our views were on the course, anyone that is looking to play this, DO NOT believe the reviews on this place, 100 mile round trip to play this was a complete waste of a day

After reading many reviews and wanting to play somewhere different, myself and 3 others decided to take a trip to this course, and what an error. A total 100 mile around trip and we won't be making it again!

Firstly on arrival 11.45am we queried about having a snack before our round in the lovely clubhouse. Kitchen wasn't open until 12. We then checked in at the pro shop with minimal interaction from a certain member of staff. We headed to the first tee and the tee box was looking ropey. First couple holes were ok, but there was no clear indication to first time players where to head for the next tee, this became a very regular occurrence. The 3rd hole then stated on the scorecard a short par 4 as our gps and teeside sign was telling us it was a long par 5. We hit our tee shots down the fairway not knowing the length of the hole, even when we reached the balls there was no clear indication. the group in front played to the par 4 green however there was 150 yard markers still out for the par 5 course with a green 150 yards away......

As the round went on almost every tee was signed as the wrong number hole, and it was very confusing and made the hole round very unenjoyable. We preferred the back 9 to the front line, however when finishing the 12th hole marked the 11th we headed to the tee behind the green which was marked the 17th. A short par 4 which didn't match the yardage shown on the scorecard, one of us hit our tee shot and then decided to ask the group behind whether we were on the right tee box or not, being visitors they also had no idea (they were also donning hoodies and tracksuit bottoms). Eventually we gambled on heading through a gate and found the next hole. At this point all interest in playing had gone and we were just laughing at the confusing set up. Finally we made it to the 18th hole, trees situated in the centre and left of the fairway, 3 out of 4 of us punished for good tee shots.

Although the golf was poor at best we were looking forward to getting into the lovely looking clubhouse and having some lunch/dinner, to make our 3 hour round journey worth it. Yep, you guessed in the kitchen is closed again, closed at 4pm. So at this point we decided we had to go to the pro shop and give some constructive feedback on our visit. I spoke to the same guy who checked us in and told him our issues. His response was, "we have told a lot of people about the current layout when they check in, I'd be surprised if we didn't tell you" which he definitely didn't. We then complained about the kitchen situation, to which he replied "It's Monday". Brilliant, very helpful and apologetic about our experience..... Not.

We won't be returning and won't be recommending it to family or friends. I really struggle to believe all the amazing reviews we were reading were written by visitors.

Maybe we just caught it on a bad day.

The course was in good condition even with all the recent rain. The order of the holes were changed to reflect the couple of holes closed but still good fun. It would have helped if each hole was identified with a hole number just to confirm you were playing the correct hole.

Everybody was helpful and the members were friendly and we had a great day. I will certainly be back and I have added this course onto my list of courses to play regularly.

What a great place to play, the course considering the amount of rain was in superb condition, and on checking shoes post round, there was very little mud on them. The course and club is a true gem

Booked this course on a whim based off the price. Course was in immaculate shape despite the weather. Greens were amazing a rolled very true. 100% will return in the summer. If they can look after the course like that during the winter the summer should be beyond amazing.

A well looked after course with great facilities.

My only constructive feedback would be a little more guidance in the way of signs or from the pro shop in regard to course layout. Some of the course design was confusing for a first time player.

Great layout, some well positioned trees, a decent amount of water on the front 9 and arguably the best club sandwich known to golf.. having said that, they bizarrely close the kitchen between 11-12 so watch out for that to avoid disappointment. Club house is stunning and the lads in the Pro Shop are good guys.

Nice little course, will definitely play it again.
