Westwood Golf Club

Having played this course several times, I have returned in order to attempt to par the third hole known as (The Alps). A very challenging hole of which I have only managed to bogey each time I play it so on this attempt I was desperate to par or better it. Well as you can guess after all my intentions I walked off with bogey again, I will be back!

All in all a very challenging course on the front nine with some amazing views once you reach the top & playing the 5th par 5 which is stunning. Then once you get to the back nine a totally different course, it is definitely a course of two halves. Again on the back nine some long holes very flat with some challenges to look out for. I always enjoy this course & once finished there is a club house with some great deals on food wise with a selection of refreshments (alcohol) at the bar.

The course was beautifully kept and very sunny aspect. Also friendly reception in the clubhouse

To be fair the weather has been poor but to be greeted the way I was gave a very negative first impression. I didn't enjoy being told half the course was shut and I would have to use a course mat .

The third hole is on a very steep hill I wasn't going to do it twice so I went home after nine. A grim experience all round

That will teach me to check the course info before booking

Played Leek Westwood today, when arriving at the course I went into the pro shop to booking in, the reception was so frosty and unwelcoming, felt like I’d walked into a private club naked.

The course was only half open that they only let us know when booking in, they did tell use we could play the front nine twice.

The course was in as good a condition as you’d expect for the time of year and rain that we’d had, there was a mixture winter tees and normal tees and one winter green, and mats had to be used on the fairways.

The pace of play was okay as a two ball we weee behind a 4-ball and did have to wait to play a couple of shots.

The third hole at Westwood amazes me a short par 4 but such a steep incline, will test the fitness of any golfer playing here.

The course is in very good condition even though we have had a week of rain . The front 9 holes you need to be a mountain goat it’s all uphill then down and over valleys.

They have got so artificial grass stuff down as wake ways my mate went straight over while walking down the 7 very lucky not to be hurt . Greens was fast and true . After the front 8 it’s all nice and flat a with the river running down the side of a few holes . You need to be pretty fit to play this course

Challenging front 9, but very enjoyable. Groundskeepers are very friendly. Back 9 is definitely suitable for those who want a more relaxed experience.

Only been playing about 6 months, been to roughly 10 courses and this is the best by far! Brought 5 friends all individually all experienced golfers and they were really impressed! They've all been back.

Decent track tbf, that first nine ouch, be prepared for a bit of a trek. The fairways and greens are pretty good and pace of play was good too. Played on bank holiday Monday for a tenner best value round I’ve ever played. Members and staff very friendly, I will return……… with a buggy.

Haven't played Westwood for a few years as my ability to walk the steeply graded first 9 has long diminished. Went yesterday with the aid of a buggy and thoroughly enjoyed the day. I have not seen a course so meticulously kept for years. Congrats to the greenkeeping staff. The standard of my golf failed to match. Am not one for reviews but couldn't fail to comment. Give Westwood a go.

Hadn't played Westwood for over a decade, seeing the deal for £10 for 18 holes it had to be done. Course was better than i remember, hills were steeper also. Really enjoyed the game. The back nine being so flat makes up for the hilly front nine. Every part of my game was tested. Will definitely be back.

Two in one style course really challenging front nine with slopes and valleys and rolling fairways which really make you think and the tree lined rough will punish any errant shots that go wide.

Back nine is open parkland style which really reward those who are long off the tee with flat wide fairways

Would definitely play it again hopefully in the sunshine.

Weather was against us but the course was good

Great layout with a decent challenge but forgiving enough fairways that you can really let the driver loose off the tee on most of the holes and most greens surprisingly fast for the time of year, winter play is abit muddy or soft underfoot in places no issue for me as I carried but playing partners struggled abit with their trolleys, tees could be better sign posted or a map on the scorecard would be handy, we wandered the wrong direction a couple of times with it being our first time.

My first time playing here was fantastic. The condition of the course was great with excellent views from the high parts

Will be back soon

Arrived...friendly guy in pro shop...course was in great condition...chatted with member (keith...very friendly also)...overall we had an excellent time there..

Would recommend....We did hire a buggy mind to help with the hilly front nine...but have walked many times before....definitely go back...

Love the course, great condition, disappointing that we had to go to a nearby pub to get lunch. Still the golf was good.
