Brinkworth Golf Club

The fairways are in brilliant condition but every green needs some attention to them but they are the worse greens we’ve ever had here and been play here for years !!

I’m a 15 handicapper and a member of Cottrell Park in Cardiff, when away with work I look for local courses to have a knock in the evenings without breaking the bank.

Paid £20 for 18 holes at Brinkworth without high expectations on course conditions. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, the course presented a nice challenge with a mixture of long holes and shorter, but tricky holes. Was nice to have to think about what club to take off the tee, definitely don’t need Driver on half the par 4s.

Greens were a bit slow and patchy, but wasn’t expecting anything else for the price - fairways were in good condition and rough was a fair challenge. Would definitely go back for another round there if I’m in the area again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great course with a very good layout, selection of challenging holes. Greens are very hard but not the worst around this area. A chipping area and a putting area put the front would be a very good addition.

Interesting course to play, some long Par 4's and 5's with some challenging steep inclines. Par 3's were great, loads of obstacles making them pretty tricky. Course in good condition, greens need a little attention but overall not bad condition at all. Clubhouse and staff very cosy and friendly, almost like being in someones living room! Really warm welcome and would definitely play again.

For the time of year the course was reasonable. I think the course suffers from drainage problems or heavy rain in place's which, may account for longer grass on some fairways. The greens are not the worst

A good course with massive improvements made over the past couple of years.

Only just started playing 18 holes, so felt a good course to learn on as not a busy course and value for money compared to a couple of local 9 hole courses. Some challenging holes which added to the experience. Fairway grass was long in places and the greens were very uneven and appeared not to have been watered so some were burnt. Would revisit with the aim to improve my game.

Really nice course. I was very fortunate with the weather conditions. As a beginner it was really forgiving.

My only criticism was the greens were quite slow.

Other than that lovely course

Having found a new course in a convenient position for the 3 golfers playing, I am always keen to find a "gem", unfortunately as much as the course could have been excellent value it was let down by a few "routine" golf course maintenance requirements.

1 - The 1st cut off the fairway was more like the "4th" cut, your ball would sink deep into the grass, ending up taking much longer to find your ball than it should, if you could find it at all.

2 - the greens needed rolling and cutting

3 - greens were a little "rough" in places and a few times had to take relief on the green !.

Overall I wouldnt rush back, as there are better courses, better kept in the area.

Course really well laid out with some challenging holes…however, greens really let the course down
