Stunning

Quite simply a stunning course, every hole is an individual challenge and will look beautiful in the summer months. Knocks socks off anything else locally and makes other courses look, well, boring

Lovely course

Cant make comment on the staff yet as i did not go into clubhouse or shop as another member of my group checked us in but the course is in excellent condition for the time of year! And the greens are on fire really challenging and quick.

Hats off to the green keepers for keeping the place in such good condition over winter, will definately be returning and strongly considering joining.

Reasonable value for money
Good course layout
Greens poor and first cut rough muddy.

Will be stunning in the summer months

Unfortunately due to the time of year the course was very wet and we had to play off little peices of mat on the fairways, which 9 times out of 10 went further than the ball. Larger sized mats with a little bit more weight may elevate the problem. The rain kept off and we stayed dry, from the knees up. ps. It will be stunning in the summer months.

Should have been closed

We played the course on new years day it should never have been open.
Mats had to used on fairways and rough to protect a course whi h was alteady unplayable.
No staff or amenities were open, so its difficult to judge when even the pro shop was closed.
We played as far as we could but walked off after 7 holes.
Although it was new years day,no one even noticed we were even playing

Excellent course, we will definitely be back

Bit of a last minute booking, not sure what to expect. Guy in shop very friendly and one of members gave us some pointers on first tee. We were really taken by the course, every hole was different and challenging, greens were excellent condition and fast. Didn't use clubhouse but course was excellent and we will be back. Hilly so be prepared but very very good

Wet weather
Walked

Play it now before it’s gone forever!

Cold & wet for our round at South Moor but we still enjoyed it all the same. The course is standing up very well to the winter conditions with greens in particularly good order for the time of year. The course is somewhat challenging with most holes including some significant changes in elevation across sloping fairways and tight approaches to relatively small greens – visitors that aren’t familiar with the course can expect to lose a few balls with hole 16 being especially tricky. It’s a real shame that the club house and part of the course is due to go under the bulldozer shortly to make way for new housing – book it and play it now before it’s gone forever. Only negative for our round [apart from the weather] was slow play by a couple of 4 balls in front of us that took forever to finish putting and get off each green – our party and two other parties behind us were stood waiting for a long while on several holes.

Excellent course. Have played this many times and always tough and hilly but very enjoyable and good condition. Having been wet some fairways were a little boggy today but didn’t spoil anything. Quiet today. Clubhouse staff very friendly
