Advertising full 18

Booked on golf now for a 2 ball this morning, Friday 1st March at 9:30am
When we arrived only 9 holes out of 18 were open, we were disappointed as we had travelled to this course because this was not stated when we booked.
This is not what we paid for, I understand that weather can’t be helped but even the man at the golf club said £25 each was extreme considering they were closed

First Time Playing

A very nice scenic woodland course with some testing holes and fairways. Greens in very good condition and not as fast as they look which got us off to a shakey start! Greens ran true and fair, plenty trouble off fairways so driver not always the best approach particularly with the shorter par 4's. Nice Madri pint in clubhouse but remember to remove your cap at the bar. Worth a visit

Great course shame about my golf!

Had a really positive experience playing here last week. There greens were in excellent condition with good pace even though it was late September.

Only slight issue and I suppose it depends on luck really is that there are no “tee times” bookable so when you arrive you just join the queue on the first tee.

Really enjoyed this course. Only negative would be the standard of the greens but would definitely play here again.

Not wowed by the course

Never played this course before. Paid £30 each for the round which, compared to others on offer that day (priced between £18 - £22) that we HAVE played it was just not worth £30 so we were left disappointed.

Great Service

Unfortunately on the day the weather was horrendous. Sleet and snow. However, we decided to play on as we had pre- paid and travelled 30 odd miles. As we were waiting to tee off on the first, Malcolm the secretary walked down to us and offered us a free round each at some time in the future when the weather was better. He said for us to play on if we wished but he would like us to experience the course in better conditions. We managed to get 8 holes in anyway but enough was enough by then. Difficult to judge the amenities off course due to Covid restrictions but felt more welcome at this course than any other I have experienced in recent times. We’ll be back for our free round soon and also more times in future. Lovely course by the way. Thank you Pontefract.

Don’t go if it has rained in the last week

Nice course but can not hold water at all only a hand full of greens was used due to being flooded, bunkers flooded be a really nice course in summer when it hasn’t rained for 2-3 weeks.
