First Time Playing

December 6th 2023

First time playing this course. I must admit, considering it was middle of December, the course was in fantastic condition, no standing water anywhere, quick greens and we’ll maintained fairways and rough areas.
The 4th, 5th and 6th were closed which was a bit of a shame as the front 9 is definitely the highlight for me.
There wasn’t the usual plastic winter tee on site which was great as we all know they’re a pain!
Absolutely loved playing here. Will definitely be coming back again. I imagine in the summer this course is terrific.

Will definitely return

Both the staff & members were friendly. Course was reduced to 15 holes due to waterlogging on 3 holes but this was reflected in the price. The 15 we played were in great condition considering the recent weather. The compressed air lines & water to clean equipment after the round were the best I've come across in South Wales. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great condition

The course was in really good condition considering the amount of rain that had been put down. Greens were spot on and dressing of the fairways was good. We played early before a competition was starting but people on the course seemed friendly. We didn’t go into the bar area after as we had to be back.
Would definitely return.

Has gone downhill

I used to be a member of this course and after a few years away I came to the Grove to play my 1st round.

The Pro Shop is still as good as ever but the course conditions have really gone down hill. Greens were mossy and unkept, fairways had clearly not been looked after and were losing colour, tee boxes were a mess. Not what I expected for what used to be a good course. Add on the increase in green fees to £30 any I will be avoiding for a while which is a shame.

Unfriendly golf members at time

Paid for 10.44. T off but found myself in the middle of old people's gold competition. T off and while waiting , 3 elderly guys could not wait as I had to for players in front to play on . I stood while they apparently T off with no signalling to me closest ball landed about 10 feet no ball hit me but felt unsafe . As waited at secound T the three players cought up and just started telling me how I should not be on course, seems I was wrong playing after paying and given T time what a bunch of idiots, felt unsafe with them behind me so left course pro shop were understandble and regreated the club members arrogance and reranged T off at a later time

Solo play at the Grove

Bit daunting turning up at a golf club having never played there before and playing on your own. They were very friendly in the pro hut and gave me advice on the course layout. Considering the time of year the fairways and greens were well look after. Weather was on my side and I had a good round. I dropped my hybrid cover somewhere early on, when I was on the 12th this voice said did you drop something, he said he kept it in his bag till he found who it belong to. I was most thankful for his efforts. To round up the day all I can say is nice course, very friendly staff and members.I won't feel as anxious turning up there again on my own. Would definitely recommend.

Considering the weather great round

Played this course last Friday and considering the amount of rain we have had locally I was surprised the course was still open and even more surprised how good the condition of the course was. Played a round with my son and we played at a decent pace and no issues. Didn't use the clubhouse after so can't comment on the facilities but the service in shop prior to round was first class....Will definitely be back
