Great course

Played today and the course was in superb condition. Greens are very fast and the course in a whole is top drawer ! Probably one of the best courses I have played. Only fault is the 16th tee. Tough if you have a trolley. Overall absolutely fantastic ! Would definitely play this course again !

Visitor policy questionable

Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions I am unable to play my own course and have regularly booked a round at this course which is near where I live. The course has never appeared busy and there has never been any delays before or during the rounds. I assume the tee off times available through GolfNow are the quieter ones for the course. I was therefore very surprised to be contacted by the course manager to be told that I was only allowed to book one round p.month as members are only allowed one guest p.month. Visitors and the additional revenue they bring should surely be encouraged during these times when other revenues e.g. bar and catering are currently not available.

Lovely Course

Played this course for the first time today and was very impressed. The conditions were less than ideal with extreme winds and some rain but the course was excellent. It was in perfect condition for the start of the season although there were a few mats in play for the par-3's which was a little dissappointing given the season has started, but the fairways and greens were in fantastic condition which was great to see. The course was very well played out and looked fantastic. The course was challenging but manageable, probably made tougher by the high winds today. There was nobody in the pro shop, however a couple of members were able to point us on our way and gave us some tips for the course which was very nice, not so much can be said for the members at Ranfurly Castle GC which we unknowingly mistook initially for the old course, where the members were pretty rude! Very happy and look to be playing again on Monday!

Decent course.

Very decent course, with really good greens, lots of blind holes that makes it hard for a first timer but would play again.

Loved it!

Met a lovely girl at the bar who acknowledged my booking and got me scorecards and a ball marker (£3). Pointed us in the direction of the first tee and off we went. First time playing and had already chatted to some friendly members in the car park. Played the the course and loved it. Some beautiful holes esp the par 3’s!! A tough 4 hole finish with some fab quirky holes. Would thoroughly recommend if you’ve not played before. Course was quite spread out with lots of space . Thank you
