Blakes Golf Club

The course was a bit boggy in parts but they do an amazing job to keep golf going throughout the year. The greens were in good condition, considering the time of year. Fairways a bit boggy but still in decent condition. Quite a few bunkers GUR, although it would have been hard to play out of them anyway, with the weather.
Overall it's a great course to play throughout the winter, staff are excellent and because of the layout you can have a buggy all year around, which helps with my older playing friend

I honestly have no idea how this can be called a golf course. Greens look dead hard as anything never able to stop a golf ball, tee boxes are even worse. This place should be shut down and ashamed of themselves for taking peoples hard earned money to play here. I would ask for a refund but they need every penny to even be close to calling themselves a golf course.

I booked a round online via. GN which cost £15.99. When I arrived at the course there was plenty of parking. I logged in at the club shop and found it nice and easy with a friendly staff member. I played as a single ball and played 9 holes before I caught 2 x 2 balls. They both let me through without any hassle.
I thought the course was in good condition and greens were firm and true. I would have been happy to pay double for my round and I would definitely recommend to my friends.

Great value for money. Played when windy but very challenging course. Greens very quick but great round

8th hole is fun

I've played Blakes a few times, it's a good track with some interesting and challenging holes (it's not too difficult though). Hard to be too critical for it being wet and muddy, it's January after all, and the greens were pretty good.
What I can't stand is the slow play.
Turned up to find the course was super busy, someone had taken my tee time (I booked as a single player), no marshal keeping play moving, 2.5hrs to play the front 9 and so we didn't finish our round before it got dark. That's not really good enough (even for a cheap round)

Slow to get off as very busy day over holidays. Course in much better condition that last time played a number of years ago - greens very good condition for the time of year.

Other reviews suggest this course is getting back to its best, but I felt the course was is great condition. Fee boxes and greens were lush and fairways were great. The rough is unforgivable though, and even if you see where the ball went, it’s lost forever! This makes the course a lot harder but still great fun. Windiest course I’ve ever played, combined with the having to be reasonably precise, probably not a beginners course! Will be back in the summer to try it again when I’m hopefully better.

Clubhouse was shut very early on which meant we couldn’t enjoy a beer after but it was a Wednesday I guess!

Never played here before but thought I’d give it a try and I wasn’t disappointed, the course was in great condition, clubhouse was nice, food was decent, staff very friendly. Overall great value for money and will defo be coming back and booking our society there.

Nice course
Greens slow but in good nick
Interesting layout
Got a hot deal and with a buggy - £25 each 2 people
