Nightmare from start to finish

Firstly, there was a problem with my booking - despite the fact I showed them my booking confirmation - was even chased out to the car park by the staff member and humiliated in front of other golfers. Course was in shocking condition - greens full of holes, tees ragged, fairways and rough too long. Greenkeeper flooded one green whilst I was preparing to chip on to it. Two or three holes are virtually unplayable because of the slope - and despite the 3 inch fairway grass. People cutting in at various stages meant a long, long, frustrating round. Probably one of my worst golf experiences ever. This place should be closed down.

Great little course

A challenging 9 hole course, playing 18 off a second set of tees. Great value for money but could do with players being remindied about replacing divots, repairing pitch marks and generally looking after the course. Greens probably worse for wear after a wet winter and I'm sure will play better when it's drier. Friendly staff, nice bar and club house and range is nearly always available.

Overall a good course for the price, although I have to say the greens are in pretty bad condition.

Depserately needs maintenance

Playing at Ridgeway is like playing on a public playing field. The greens are like fairways, the fairways are like rough and the rough is... yeah. The only greens that are well kept is the 6th and the 9th. This is because they are the only greens visible from the wedding marquee, which has what this "golf course" has become, a small wedding venue.

If you want a quick knock around and you're local, go for it. Don't go out of your way to play here though.

Average course, needs maintenance

Played a few times, its an average course if you fancy a knock. £13 for 9 holes is ok (not great) because I wouldnt pay £26 for 18 holes at this course. It needs a bit of maintenance doing, as the greens are not kept well and are way too long and some parts of the fairway are like the rough! I know they have a range but Ive never used it, the bar is good and the staff are really friendly. No pro shop on site either.

First Time

It’s a nice course with some good stretches and interesting areas to tackle. It’s fairly well maintained. Very popular with men, women, young and senior. Lots of new players and experienced. Not too strict on dress code but we did dress accordingly so that could be why but others were more “comfortable”. 18 holes was fun and a good pint afterwards.

Not great

Not keen on the course layout. Greens are bumpy and a couple are covered with sand. Fairway grass was too long, stopping balls short and like playing out of the rough at better courses.

Might be better in the summer. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone but I'll give it a go later in the year give it another chance.

Classic autumn/winter golf

A lot of leaves on the fairways/greens this time of year and the fairways aren’t in the BEST condition but god the price it’s pretty good quality. The winter tee boxes need revamping though. They are very battered!

Avoid - unless showing a child golf for 20 mins

Completely unplayable. Boggy, greens as long as most courses fairways, fairways indistinguishable from the rough.
