Wokefield Park Golf Club

Playing in January is always hard, but this course was in great condition for the time of year.

Lots of interesting holes and challenging too, very good for all different handicaps, my four ball ranged from 12 up to 26.

Pro shop staff very friendly and accommodating and lovely grounds and facilities.

Would definitely play again.

Amazing course in good condition for the time of year. Great facilities off the course and friendly atmosphere

I have not played here in over 12 months due to the last year of play being rained off for about 3 months over 2024 - early 2025, I have always enjoyed this course but yesterday the manner of the staff was pretty poor, not informed of no post round facilities (I quote the hotel is shut) not a huge issue but nice to finish off the round with a pint and some food, the course played well and only black tees in play, condition of the course was good for this time of the year and green keepers were out and about, what did annoy was the amount of people just swanning around as opposed to playing at pace, took us 4:30 to get round as a 4 ball, again not terrible but this happens pretty much every time I play at this course. certainly better than the last time I played here but pro shop was empty of snacks and drinks if we had wanted any, the island green par 3 was 90 yards shorter as the original tee box has not been renewed, and yesterday the hole only played 90 yards, pretty pointless, some of the length of the holes were shortened and again I appreciate new growth and letting the grass come through but the course needs to be challenging, in summary a good course but has so much more potential. Dont let this put you off have a go and see for yourself :)

Played today and have to say the course was in great condition for the time of year and is a great test

For £25 great value course in good condition fair test

Today’s round was played in nice autumn weather with light winds. The course was in good condition, the greens were fine but not amazing. I found sand on so many drives today which indicates the placement of bunkers is very good.

On the whole not a bad round but not an easy course.

I like it as it’s parkland and quite long and challenging but a lovely walk too.

The reviews are mixed, with harsh criticism particularly this year on Google, however I was genuinely surprised by the condition of the course and how well it played. There are a few really short sharp doglegs which don’t sit well on the eye, balanced with some longer fun risk / reward holes across the round. For £25 it felt like a steal.

Nice course, they’ve used the space very well. Course was in a good condition and greens still had a bit of pace even at 7am.

The course lay out wasn’t the most challenging as there was a series of pretty straight forward drive-able par 4’s. That being said it was very enjoyable and I would play there again.

A solid course in decent condition with good value for money. Fairways and greens were well maintained, and the overall experience was very enjoyable.

I really enjoyed the round of golf on a challenging course, however the conditions were not that great. I realise that this summer has been exceptionally hot and dry but I was surprised that the course didn’t have any water systems. Whilst it is usual for the fairways to be dry I am used to the greens being watered and kept in good condition, sadly not the case here. That said ithis was probably reflected in the price of a round which, with a buggy was still good value for mo

Given the price, I was expecting a very easy course, tailored for beginners. Very surprised by the complexity of the course. Some holes very challenging, requiring good distance control, or your sand wedge will be getting a good workout. Lots of dog legs requiring careful navigation. None of the holes felt like they had been added just to fill the space, they all had a unique challenge.

Ground could be better maintained, some very patchy fairways and greens, though we've had some very dry weather lately so this may be circumstantial.

Plenty of hazards to keep you on your toes, the rough can be a bit clumpy so expect to lose a few balls if you stray from some of the tighter fairways. Lots of bunkers in some punishing places, the one on the first hole is big enough to need it's own postcode.

Pleasant staff in the shop, decent putting green and driving range.

Overall a pleasant surprise even if it was a bit challenging for my meagre ability. I wouldn't recommend for absolute beginners or those used to a more manicured course. However if you're looking for something to stretch your abilities on a budget, this is great. If they maintained the course a little better, this would be an absolute gem, well worthy of a much steeper green fee.

I played this course many times in the past when first opened and shortly after that, it used to be a treat and a very nice well looked after course.

As it was my prospective son in law’s birthday we thought we would go there again on my recommendation that it’s “really nice there”, unfortunately we were both extremely disappointed; I totally understand the weather has been extremely warm and dry, so I expected some brown fairways and some bare patches but absolutely everything was very very poor.

I looked online and noticed there were EV chargers, but none worked as we tried to park.

On clubhouse arrival we asked for tokens for the range “sorry the range is closed for a private event”, went to the practice area which was in very poor condition to which I joked “I hope the course is in better nick!”, we gave up when a large family with small children started to putt all over the green making it impossible to practice any sort of chips and definitely not safely use the bunkers. We then went to the putting green near the first tee, again this was in a terrible state and trying to find a putt that was grass all the way to the hole was very difficult, I said again “they must be saving their efforts for the course” - no, I was wrong again, on the course itself the fairways were dead, the greens bare, patchy and covered in uneven soil patches, seeds and god knows what else, bunkers were inconsistent and unraked for ages and the rough without any transition went from ‘fairway’ to waist, chest and (I kid you not) ‘chin high’ straw if you were inches off line or given an unkind 90 degrees kick from the rock hard, bone dry divot strewn ‘fairways’.

Not only was it horrible to play on, scoring was also hampered as I was taken on a throwback to some pretty appalling municipal courses I played on in the 80s.

Frankly, it was awaful

The greens need a lot of work to become playable again.

Great course good shot shapes needed to challenge yourself round it lot of greens guarded with bunkers and great fast greens 💚

If only. The course was in poor condition. It could be really good.

The greens were hit and miss, some were fine. A few were very patchy.

It is attached to the hotel complex. Time and money needs to improve the course.

There are many bunkers, with excellent sand, but they need daily raging.

If you can't afford to maintain them, why have 'em.

Shouldn't need to pick up, rage and replace in a bunker.

Yes, it has been very dry.... but you must invest in and around the green management.

Decent layout, but many greens are diseased and patchy

Round was a little slow,

Fairways are burnt out and not much grass but that’s the same for most courses this summer. Overall always a challenge and enjoyable to play Wokefield and will return on a regular basis

I've played Wokefield about ten times now and felt it was time to write a review.

It's a fantastic course, great practice facilities and good value for money. Ultimately though none of that matters as the absolute basic principle of pace of play and etiquette are none existent here.

A normal round is going to take you 5hrs due to pace of play, no one lets you through, place is full of rowdy blokes on stag do's whizzing around on buggies shouting and dropping litter. Bunkers left unraked, divots and pitch marks not fixed, you'll be waiting on every tee box for at least 10mins.

It's so frustrating because this course has everything there to be a fantastic venue and place to be a member but they cram way too many people in, the fee is evidently too cheap as you're getting all sorts of duffers go round and there's just no respect for the place. Staff are hidden away in the "clubhouse" which is miles from the first tee and I've not once seen anyone martial on course.

I really hope Wokefield address these comments as you can see by the other reviews I'm not the only person having these issues. I would love to play here more often but every time I do it's incredibly frustrating.
