Hidden Gem

My first visit after high praise from other golf society members. The pro mentioned that the greens weren’t their best but believe me some courses would be happy with greens of this quality even though they’d been hallow tined. Started with a breakfast which was lovely and then enjoyed a leisurely paced round. Layout is good with a few challenging holes mixed in with reachable others. Certainly somewhere I would return to as the friendly nature of the staff plus the interesting layout with some very small greens appeals to me a lot.

Temp greens

Have played here many times and usually enjoy it. But The day we played the front nine holes were on temp greens due to tining and dressing greens. When l say temp greens l mean the fairways cut shorter. Impossible to put on. Second nine were in very good condition but as we were playing they were cutting fairways for temp greens so suspect all now on temps. And, no reduction in price.

Stunning

No idea how I’ve never played here before only living 15 miles away. It’s a stunning course, every aspect from condition, layout and the staff. Every hole different and lots to think about. Can’t wait to play again.

Always a pleasure

The course is always expertly maintained. Even in a heatwave the greens are green and true. The course design offers both challenging holes and exceptional views. Playing Silkstone is always a treat.

Outstanding

My first time playing the course and WOW. A great test of golf, front 9 felt like I was playing the Open Championship. A great test of golf, testing drivable par 4’s which tease you into going for it when you should really lay up with a 5 iron for a wedge in. Loved the course and will definitely look to play again. Fast greens, undulating reads, well done to the ground staff. 5 * rating fro me
