Loved the layout

This was the second time I have played this course. The layout is great and requires varying shots. Areas of the course are wet but there has been a lot of rain in recent weeks. Greens had recently been slit and this did affect the roll but we were warned of this on booking. Overall an enjoyable round.

Shame the course is so soft!!

Excited at the prospect of playing a new course as always I opted for Gathurst as I'd been past many times before and opted to visit here.

Very nice mature parkland setting with some very nice holes. Wind made it challenging throughout the round.

Just a shame the course was so wet. In most areas drainage was a huge issue. All the greens felt very very soft, to the point you felt bad just walking on them. Spongy would be accurate. Even pitches were leaving impact marks on them.

If they were to address this huge issue throughout the course, this place would be a joy to play. As it is now I'm left scratching my head as to how a established course such as this can hold so much water after only a few days of rain. Maybe a drought is in order before going again.

Good day

I have always wanted to play at Gathurst Golf Club and it was worth the wait, the course is in good condition even though it was raining the night before.
The greens at fabulous when you need a good touch to judge the pace.
The members and staff are friendly.
Overall a good day and I would visit again

not a winter course you wanna play

booked to play a four ball. when got the course was told 2 holes where unplayable was given a winter mat to play from fairways which was just silly little Matt's about 10 inch long. with it being winter was hitting of matts from the tee boxes which I dont mind but was no holes in the matts so couldn't put a tee in the Matt's just 100% not a winter course and would advise everyone not to play it in the winter save your money and go the range.

No one else has problem with tee box mats. There are places for tees. Would not be possible to find parkland course in good condition considering weather over last few weeks etc.
This course is value for money and staff are always friendly to visitors.
I play this course regularly and have never experienced any problems.

2 holes closed due to urgent drainage work, collapsed drain, Small mats are for rough/fairway use only. Tees are never allowed to be used in rough or fairways by any club.
There is nothing wrong with this course in winter. As with all clubs has suffered due to exceptional amount of rain.

bentham golf course

arrived at the course and were greeted by the professional who was very friendly . the course was in great condition and the greens were the best I've played this year without doubt. this course is a hidden gem and would certainly play again the only negative was the location as it is quite fiddly to get to . .A mention must go to the green staff for producing the course in such great condition. will be back.

Excellent course

Played here last Monday and absolutely loved it. We were warmly welcoming by the pro in Clarke’s golf shop, he was very informative and the course & amenities. The other members we encountered were also very friendly and welcoming.
The course is lovely and in great condition, and although the greens had been sanded a couple of days earlier they ran great and true. If I lived a little bit closer I would 100% join this club. Can’t wait to play here again very soon.
