Wergs Golf Club

I live very close to Wergs but never played it. That will change. Lots to think about on every hole, bunkers in play, water hazards etc. The trees that line the fairway are immaculate and beautiful but it's good because the rough isn't super thick if you go slight off the fairway you're not blocked out or a lost ball.

Played 18holes here on 20.8.20, with a friend who had never played an 18hole course before. I have played here a few times and always found it to be fair and usually in a decent condition, so a good choice to get him started.

We were greeted well when we arrived and had a few putts on the putting green which had been cut and was rolling nicely. There was also a practice net so we could have a loosen up. There is now a driving range too, which had been added since I was last there, but we didn't use it.

Unfortunately, the hot tee time we were given was immediately after a seniors match, which meant the pace of play was extremely slow. The final group were very courteous though and asked us to play through, but we didn't as there were several matches in front of them. They even apologised at the end, which shows what class members they have at The wergs.

The course itself, was in a decent condition, not too bad, but not good. There was clearly a some major work being carried out and this meant it looked scruffy in places. Plus we had had torrential rain the night before, so the greens were wet and were average at best. They are usually much better.

The tees were fine, fairways long but okay, but the bunkers were shoddy. I didn't manage to find one, but they needed some work.

The layout of the course is good and there are opportunities to use all of the clubs in your bag. There is plenty of water so you have to think about your shots and it is a tough enough test that low handicappers will have to plot their way around it, but new or high handicap golfers can manage to get around without losing too many balls.

The conifer lined fairways aren't too everyone's cup of tea, but they don't bother me. There are some good holes too: On the front 9: the tee shots at 3 and 4 are good. 6 is a strong par 4, and 8 is a fun hole. On the back 9, your 2nd into 10 requires a good shot, and the signature hole 12, is always a test, but a fun little hole. The split fairway 17 is unusual, and fun, and 18 is a great hole: very tough uphill finish to a smallish green.

So overall, it is clear the course is having an overhaul and I'm sure it will be fantastic when it is all done, but on this occasion £20 for 18 was a fair price, for a fair track.

I will definitely playThe Wergs again, but not in the immediate future. It's a good course for anyone wanting to upgrade from their 9 hole course or local municipal.

I have wanted to play here for a while and had high hopes but to be honest, it is bang average.

Flat as a pancake, little imagination on the holes but is in decent condition just very boring.

I think it could be made into a great course but I guess it would need some fresh eyes?

It’s ok, if you can’t get elsewhere then give it a go but it’s down my list I’m afraid.

Played twice now and temp greens both times definitely wouldn't pay £27 to play on the weekend. Big course with lots of rough space in-between fairways.

Pleasant staff in the clubhouse! 18th green is a bit dodgy as if you're 10 yards long your ball is in the car park.

Enjoyed the layout of the course and a good variation of holes. What was annoying was the amount of construction going on around the course, along with the grounds men rallying around on the quads. This was quite off putting and irritating.

Nice course not too difficult ,the greens were running at a nice pace the overall condition of the course was good enjoyable round of golf.

Good course. Couple of places under repairs and a couple of temp tee boxes and greens - can’t be helped and good to see course being cared for.

Challenging course with some tricky holes but disappointed we were not warned about the remodelling work with a temporary green for one hole and various mounds of earth. Would like to return when work fully completed.

Otherwise enjoyable afternoon with special mention for the lady on reception.

Not a bad days golf at all really, fairways and greens are fine, lots of building work all over the course obviously makes it a bit of an eyesore in places, 1 temporary green on that we weren't told about but that's just a minor thing for me, it happens. Once all the work is done it's a really nice course, plenty of fairway to play with and pretty straight for the big hitters. Would Return.

We played and the course is obviously popular but at the same time a little slow when going around. Disappointed in a few greens, one temporary, one with grass cuttings all over it and one with extremely long grass in patches. The greens were also extremely firm.

The course is tight and you do have to play straight. The course is okay but I wouldn’t travel over an hour again to play it. The cost was acceptable and clubhouse looks smart and pro shop staff were friendly.

It is a club with potential and is obviously having some work to make some finishing touches.

great layout and greens and fairways in excellent condition.

2 temporary greens on and fair amount of GUR's which was a little frustrating.

Has the potential to be decent course if more care was taken looking after the course.

Greens were OK. Some good some not so good. A bit patchy and 2 paces at times.

I might be a little harsh but I left feeling disappointed

Good course and facilities. Usually in a very good condition. Multiple holes having work done from temporary tees to temporary greens and areas of mud that has been re seeded but not yet taken.

I’m sure it will look great again one day but currently it’s in a repairing state.

Enjoyed our round here despite the weather, excellent lay out and although a couple of holes were having work done on them it will be very nice shortly
