Woolston Manor Golf & Country Club

- greens in poor condition

- greens overly protected by bunkers or hazards.

- overall the course and club house was rough around the edges (ie shabby)

Greens and tee boxes improving

Layout is sensational

The layout of the course is decent. Some nice holes but greens were worst I've played in many years. Bumpy and bear , unloved and uncared for. With time and money this course could be pretty decent. The staff are great and friendly. The pace of play was very very slow for the first nine holes until we got let through. Not sure I'd play again unless a lot of work was done on those greens. Its a shame.

Only thing letting the course down are the greens and a couple of bunkers. The greens need rolling and cutting. Could not get a good roll on my puts because the greens are really bumpy.

Was really disappointed in this course, bearing in mind it’s location and potential clientele. The pace of play was awful, spent a lot of time waiting on every shot. The greens were shocking, didn’t look like they had been tendered to in weeks. Actually walked off the course after 13 holes as couldn’t bear the frustration anymore!

Was a member in its first year in 1994.

Haven’t played there for around 6 years.

Pro shop was very friendly and the course was in good condition.

Very pacy round ,no waiting on any tees.

Overall I would recommend Woolston highly.

Course in great condition, overly enjoyable round.

Loved the set up with tricky holes.

But the fairways and putting greens are below par

Putting greens have scattered holes which makes a shot bump all over the place instead of being smooth.

Good value for money but was expecting better

The fairways and greens were good condition and decent speed. The course layout is well thought out but I think they overdone with bunkers though. Just played the course in June and the course looking great. Plenty of work being done on the greens and around the fairways and tee off areas. Some long par 4s and risk and reward par 5s. Scored 83 only on my second return with an eagle on the 5th par 5. Just became member so let's see what holds for the rest of the year.

Only played this course a couple if times before under Society conditions. Played today in very hot weather and I admit, was not hitting the ball at all well. However, the two things that will put me off playing Woolston Manor again was the poor conditions on most of the bridges over streams, of which there are a fair number. On a far number, the timbers were rotten to the extent that turned ankles are a distinct possibilities. The other gripe is the fact, according to the guy in the pro shop, that there are no reduced prices for Senior Citizens, of which I am one. This is the first time I have visited a club in the last 12 years where a concession for Seniors was not available......In short, for me, £25 was extremely poor value and, in future, will not be visiting again and am not able to recommend Woolston to anyone.

Impossible to recommend as the course is in such poorly maintained condition - tee boxes are as bad as I’ve experienced, greens a small step up from fairways. A shame as the layout has potential.

Last time we came we saw some improvements, we decided to play again this week and glad to see the same work has continued.

With all the rain some mud was to be expected, the 8th was still quite wet so hard to walk up but still playable. The 18th was fun chipping over the lake, with the lake one side and bunkers the other it's like coming up on an island green. The 3rd hole coming down between the lakes and the river was a little wet but still tidy.

Last time we came the bunkers were much better than they were in the past and its nice to see they've kept it up, although might need a bit more sand in some of them and some were holding water, but nothing too bad.

This is a tough course, but the mixture of holes and all the hazards make it a good test of your game!

Been playing here maybe 1 or 2 times a year for a few years, and let's be honest it was really run down over the last few years. Messy and hard to play.

But a really pleasant surprise this time, considering the bad weather we've been having down here it was lovely to go out and see they've made some big course improvements! Yes there was some mud on the way round, and it looks like they've laid new paths to help get round the course. The 18th playing into the club house was really well presented, looked very pretty playing in towards the building and chipping over the lake.

Biggest improvement is the bunkers! a few still had some standing water in them, but we had a lot of rain the last few (months lol) but seeing that they've tidied them all up and really improved the sand and presentation for play was a big surprise.

This is a tough course, its long and there's basically water and sand everywhere, but in decent condition its a really good course to play!

Used to love this course. Testing, lots of green side bunkers and lovely 18th back to the clubhouse.

However the course has fallen in to disrepair. The final straw were the greens which were like fairways. Totally unputtable.

Won’t be playing there again until they have got the course up to scratch

Course is unloved and neglected. Bunkers and greens were in appalling condition. Pro shop was locked. Hardly anyone on the course and I’m not surprised. It seems everyone was at the driving range next door. Sooner the course is sold to developers and put out of its misery the better!

Such a shame this great course is not being looked after. Grass in in every bunker & hardly any sand, tee boxes just bare.

The holes themselves are amazing & well laid out, just looks like the course needs some money spent on it & some TLC to get it back to amazing.

Food was tasty, staff friendly
