First Time Playing

New Mad Swans 12 hole course

First time playing the new course which has been reconfigured to be 12 holes. First of all the whole venue has been completely revamped and looks great. The golf course was a mixture of old course holes (slightly redesigned) and new holes with some great new landscaping and bunkers added. I enjoyed the 12 holes and wasn’t disappointed with the course design (apart from a lot of deep rough!). It was strange not to go the full 18 holes but the overall experience was just as good. Food and drink afterward was great - amazing pizza!

Give it 12 months and it will be great!

This will be a great venue next summer when hopefully the course surroundings look less like a construction project. They have done a great job on course design and most of the playing areas ( greens, bunkers & fairways) are in good condition but a lot of the aligning landscape is still in a virgin state! Signage especially from the 10th to the 11th needs to be better as even the handwritten sandwich board that's in place is a task to find! When all the water features are filled and the rocks dissapear I'm sure the look and feel will be even better! As for 12 holes, brilliant! two hours and 3 lost balls and I was done! Final point on value for money, I got a hot deal for £36 but morning tee times are £42. This is pretty steep in comparison to surrounding 18 hole courses especially as like I've mentioned above it's still a work in progress site! £25/£30 for 12 holes in its current state would be fair in my opinion. Look forward to going back next summer to see it in its full bloom!

Expensive for what it is

This course looked to have found a middle ground between 9 and 18 holes, and at a fair price point of £30. The course is challenging and well kept. It doesn't quite flow in a few places, but is generally a good course. However, that has all changed as the prices have now been doubled to £60 a round.

You can get cheaper prices for a full 18 holes, so why on earth you'd pay for a ¾ course, I don't know. This will put off a lot of customers who just want to drop in.
