Staining Lodge Golf Course

Hadn’t played here since 2019 when there was some work taking place on the back 9 and a couple of ropey greens. Read recent reviews and decided to give it a revisit and glad I did.
The course is in very good condition and is very well maintained. The greens 1-18 are all pretty good and I found the whole round challenging but enjoyable.
Credit must be given to the green keepers/ ground staff who have clearly put in a lot of hard work.
The fairways were well cut, the greens pretty quick and the bunkers in good condition (sadly I speak from experience!)
The ground was dry and firm and all the hazards tidy too.
I would recommend this course, the bar staff were excellent too. All in all a good day and great value for money

A lovely round of golf on a resort type course in excellent condition which had wide fairways and short rough which kept our pace of play high. Firm small greens gave a true test of putting ability.

We will be back to further appreciate the excellent choice of food and beer in the 19th!

Very nice course quite open but can be very difficult if you hit a waywood shot greens are quick will play here regular now we have played here

Course wasn’t too bad starting to firm up a bit, lovely weather for it.

You can see they have really worked on ensuring the course drains well. No standing water anywhere. Always a pleasure to play here.

First 2 greens played a little slow, after that the rest were a better pace and very consistent.

Played 05/09/2021 at 11:30. Booked online for only £14 so wasnt expecting much but I was wrong. Some of the fastest greens I've played and very wide fairways which were all very well kept.
Great outdoor seating area to enjoy a pint watching over the 10th tee and 18th green after your round.
Highly recommend!

Very good quality course.
Fairways nice and wide would prefer there to be longer rough for it to be more challenging.
Layout is very nice and picturesque.
However the greens r not very receptive and wjen playing make sure to club down to account for this

After a week of rain it was great to see that the course drained really well. Greens were consistent and a good pace. 2nd round here and will be booking again.

This was the 3rd visit and everything was A class all round

Mainly wide open fairways giving you a lot of leaway off the tea, which helps prevent slow play.
My round was during a fine extended dry spell and the course / greens were in really really good condition.
Staff very helpful when my electric trolley broke half way round and even gave me info of a local businesses that could fix it.
Not a difficult course, but why should golf be difficult?
Would love to play again.

STUNNING! In my opinion the best kept course in the area at the moment (weather permitting). Gorgeous scenery and impeccable greens. I would recommend this course to anyone whilst the weather is good. It is commonly know that staining is not great when it rains as it really does bog!

First time on this course as I was just starting out! Very tough for a beginner but great way to get broken in. When it rains it pours on this course and take a while to get dry. Gorgeous in summer though!

Was booked on for 12.20 but only tee’d off at 12.50 due to back log or something!! Then only played 14 holes as 4 hours 10 minutes for 3 players to play 14 holes was getting a bit much with 4 holes left!! Would of been over a 5 hour round easily!!

I have played here four times now. A long course with challenging holes. This time with added hazard of flooding from the adjacent river. Despite this all greens were open and in great condition. A bit heavy underfoot after heavy rain but open

Was enjoyable day the course was in lovely condition
