Amazing course, good lay out but some temp greens.
Slightly boggy in parts but it was expected as the weather hasn’t been good and the greens was soft but still played well!

Called to see if it was open

Rang the club repeatedly in the morning to check whether the course was open as I live an hour away. Finally on my 5th attempt I got thru to the bar as no one else answered to be told of course it’s open.
Got to the course and couldn’t find anyone in the office of club shop.
Tee mats were unplayable, fairways were saturated and the greens were underwater.

Nice course ...but !

Sadly wasn't told about the holes being changed around and one temporary green.
We got to the back 9 and our GPS stopped working regarding yardage and couldn't find the 11th tee. Asked a local player and he said during winter the holes are changed around which I've never encountered anywhere else. Spoiled the round somewhat.
Played off mats which were in poor condition.
Would come back but only in the summer months, don't let this put you off its still a nice course to play , staff are always friendly whenever we visit.

Wet wet wet

Most courses in South Wales were not playable due to the amount of rain, no problems at Bargoed. Excellent conditions. Only downside was the lack of any shop to purchase any consumables. So ensure to have all you need to enjoy your round.

An almost perfect afternoon

Booked to play this course with a friend as ours was closed due to the recent wet weather. Friendly greeting in the office on arrival and other than some guidance that fairway mats required on some of the holes it was go when ready. Course was in great condition considering the already mentioned wet weather with run on the fairways and receptive greens. Even the weather played ball and we enjoyed a lovely sunny Spring afternoon with little wind. Only blemish was that the clubhouse didn't appear to be open so we couldn't have a drink afterwards but hey you can't have everything.
Thank you Bargoed.

No idea

Phoned the course in the morning to check it was open before travelling, I was told of course it’s open . So two friends and I turned up to a course with the shop and office closed. We started the first with wind and rain raging around us. The mats were useless for driving off. Fairways were unplayable and the greens were under water. The course should have been closed hours before we even showed up.
