Wokefield Park Golf Club

5hrs 30mins to play a round of golf on a Monday!?

Waiting on EVERY SINGLE SHOT.

9+ people on every hole, stopping you playing the hole the way you intended without playing into people or being hit yourself. Spent most of the round sat in floor waiting to play a shot.

Greens were patchy and largely disappointing, yellow tee boxes were particularly bad.

Then after all that it's £20 for a very average burger.

Could be a fantastic course but seems the golf side is bottom of the priority list.

Not played Wokefield for about 6 months when we walked off after playing 9 holes due to the speed of play. It used to be a regular choice for us over the last 10 years).

Decided to give it another try with a Tues lunchtime tee off, hoping that it would be considerably quieter. Nope!

When we got to the third, a simple par 3, there were 3 groups waiting to tee off. After somehow showing enough patience, we completed the 12th and had taken 3 hours 25 mins. and so the round ended. Never again!!!

I've played Wokefield numerous times and think the course layout is very good. Pro shop staff and really helpful, as was the guy in the half way hut. Greens were good. Generally the course looks like it is well maintained BUT the negatives was the course is so dry. The fairways are very brown and so hard. It's strange that other courses are no where near this hard. It makes it hard to play quality shots when it's like playing off a path. Also the voice of the ball makes it hard to control. The other thing was the speed of play, or lack of it. I guess we were unlucky but following retired folk playing Texas scramble was painful....over 5 hours for a 2 ball is just to slow.

It's a shame as the venue has so much potential but it was least enjoyable round of the year.

This is specifically from my experience on the day, I imagine during a weekday, it would have been different.

Course in good condition considering the hot weather, some fairways a bit burned, but overall the grounds team clearly do a lot of work keeping the place running.

Layout really good fun, plenty of risk v reward. The water can be extremely punishing in places unless you play tactically. Don't think that just because there are a few short par 4s they're easy, extremely well placed bunkers and creative fairway design mean you need to be able to think as well as hit. Get the course guide from the shop if it's your first time!

Halfway house is pleasant, a bit expensive, but nice.

Unfortunately, on the day I played there was clearly a society/social match on, and by the looks of things it was their one day out a year. Pace of play was terrible and no Marshalls out policing it. Groups were seen playing bumpercars with the buggies and the greens looked like the Somme circa 1918. The best thing to come from the stack of 2x 4balls and the 1x 5ball on the tees was the ability to go around fixing the greens while waiting. I doubt the course is like this on a week day, would love to try it again.

Stand out hole is definitely the 2nd, brilliant design and a bunker you could build a beach resort in!

Enjoyed the round. The weather also behaved itself.

Had a great game of golf, not too busy and the course was in excellent condition. Overall very happy apart from a very rude woman in a buggy who was part of a society playing that day.

A wonderful course - easy wide fairways made challenging with lots of (fairway and greenside) bunkers and lakes. Ground is hard and dry with scorched fairways, and the Greens ran fast.

It would be good for a course marshal speeding up the pace of play as the 2 of us practically waited at every hole from the 1st green onwards. Thankfully, the 4 ball holding us (and the 3 flights behind) finally let us through on the 10th which helped us recover our pace of play.

Worthwhile to experience it at least once.

Should not have been open.

Waste of my monthly tee time credit.

Feel like I should be reimbursed.

Standing water all over the course

Wasn’t expecting too much as I’ve watched the course deteriorate over the years. It’s a shame as the layout has potential and some interesting holes. Compared to other ‘value’ courses like Sherfield and The Springs, Wokefield now stands alone as the least cared for - fairways, tees and bunkers in bad condition. To top it off the bunkers were full of huge, deep footprints from someone who had marched all over them. Took me a while to realise that they were workmen’s boots worn by the green staff.

Great location, superb layout. Two courses both with challenges for all levels of golfer. Nice wide fairways with good rough if you stay down the middle. Good greens that tough as they are undulating. Tee boxes in good good condition.

Played and stayed weekend 7th to 9th June. 3 societies playing here,no problems.course superb.played 27 holes on friday,18 on Saturday and 18 on Sunday.not one complaint from all 24 members. Facilities great as were food and staff.would recommend this course and hotel to everyone...one piece of advise book buggies well in advance

It’s was too busy the pace of play was horrific we waited every shot for 18 holes there was 3 groups of golfers on every tee box I’ve been playing golf for 26 years it was the slowest round of golf I ever had..
