Woolston Manor Golf & Country Club

Fairways good condition

Rough cuttings left in the rough so lost 3 balls where it was just impossible to see under all the cuttings

greens were slow for summer but superb lines. The line was true every time

Would play again

Location and surroundings superb. Course management is essential to achieve low scores. Course is suitable for all abilities. Most of the bunkers GUR but it never spoilt our round. Still early in the season course wise and conditions will improve.

• second time i played it

• parking costs 50p if you’re playing golf

• tees were badly overgrown

• a lot of blind shots, the course needs a few markers

• the greens were hard and a bit overgrown: the approach shots would bounce 3–4 feet back in the air, but the grass would grab hard on your putt

• no rakes in the bunkers

• with a bit more care this could be an amazing course - check the 230 yds. par 3

Fantastic set up up coarse to keep you on your

toes. Lots of thinking off the T to keep you in play. Dog legs trees and bunkers are well placed to keep the driver in the bag. First cut of rough did result in lost balls so could do with a trim. Greens were 90% true and easy fixed with a little roll to flatten. Can’t wait to return for vengeance

• course was finally dry, which gave the ball a lot more roll on the fairways, and made the while experience more enjoyable

• pace of play was perfect, which was refreshing considering the last time i played it was so slow that i had to stop after 10 holes

• greens were in perfect condition, just the odd blemish here and there

• the gentleman running the pro shop is a class act - massive thumbs up for him

Greens were in poor condition, very bumpy. Rough just off the fairway was very long and there was grass curtings left everywhere. Not sure if this was just done down to the awful weather we have had over the last few weeks though. Will probably give it another try in a month or so and see if things have improved. Shame because it’s pretty local for me and has some interesting if tricksy holes.

A nice course but not in great condition, hollow tine greens and in need of some general course maintenance. . Despite, thisit was still good value for the money. A challenging course, which I would like to play in the summer when the greens have recovered
