Heworth Golf Club

I love playing Heworth. I’m a member at Brickendon Grange GC outside Hertford, Hertfordshire but visit York 2 or 3 times each month and so I play Heworth a lot. In summer it’s a fabulous course but in winter, like yesterday, it’s too wet. I appreciate they strive to give members golf but there are times when it should be closed. I can’t really be negative about the course mind you as it’s generally in lovely condition and the members and staff are super friendly.

Course has suffered alot from the weather. However definitely recommend this course to a high handicapper or someone looking to do a quick 9-11 holes

Great course, great people, I played one day and I joined the next day. 5 stars all the way

Played here with a mate. Fairways and greens are well looked after (not that I hit either in reg). There’s no reception to speak of, it’s an honesty policy where you pay your fees and take a ticket (or say that you booked online in the sign-in book).

Course itself was decent - there are a few shared fairways between holes on the front and back which I wasn’t aware of, but didn’t impact the pace of play much (only had to wait a couple
Times)

Would recommend this course

Course great layout and pace of play, course needs some attention from what looks like damage to fairways. Price of play should be less than £25. Would play again of course improved and price lowered

Went early alone as a random round, and loads of free gn slots so guessed it would be a quiet day. Course was ok, 11 front and 7 back, only one crossover hole, 18 plays through 1st. When I got onto back 7 it was packed. Spoke to greens keeper (lovely guy) who says locals just rock up and play. Ended up playing 13 and leaving otherwise would have been there forever.

Alright little course . You enter a room and sign in via a book, no pen or pencil to write , so scrambled back to the car to try find a pen( usually have about 40 pencils in my bag)
I felt very out of place at this course. It was although I was looked down upon as I wasn’t a regular . Seems a very locals only course. The course itself is nice. For a first timer a little confusing with some holes been played twice but one guy was nice enough to explain (not like the other couple of stuck up gentlemen) who pretty much snubbed me . If your in the area for work and want a quick round then probably worth a quick one, just make sure you wear your top hat and waist coat. The players are no reflection on the course though. A little steep at £25 for 18 holes . I would say a £20 max course especially mid week . Can go down 5 miles away and get a 18 mid week for £20 and would say a slightly better course. Sadly wouldn’t return , but wouldn’t not recommend the course to anyone .

Played this course as a 2 ball on a Saturday morning. Was fairly quiet. Checked in ourselves in a small room and away we went. 11 hole course where you play some holes twice but from different tees. Tee boxes and fairways were very good. Greens had just had a bit of work done but still ran true just a little slow but in normal circumstances I’m sure are also very good. Layout is mostly just up and down but with challenging tee shots into narrow tree lined fairways and a raised green and double green on some holes it’s far from boring!

Would definitely recommend for anyone of any ability. Could be tricky for higher handicappers but also will tighten your game up with the tall trees and quite small greens to hit..

Don’t be put off by only 11 holes! Definitely worth a visit!

Well maintained course, excellent value for money, friendly staff and players - very welcoming.

I play this course regularly when I’m visiting York. I live in the south east where I am a club member however we have a place in York and visit all the time and I always bring my clubs. Staff are always helpful and accommodating. The course is always in a good condition, lush fairways and well maintained greens and although it plays quite short it can be a good test especially a couple of long par 4’s and a well placed tee shot is needed on others. Visitor green fee’s (£25) are fair. I’ve marked course layout down as you play 3-9 twice off different tee’s but otherwise the layout is perfectly ok. Club facilities are very limited, which is another minus. Well worth a round if you are considering it.

The course was in good condition and each hole was tight with small greens. It’s a small course and it makes you think hard on what to play. You do play some holes twice but I just thought it was a great knock about. If your looking for an amazing typical 18 holes then this is not the course. This is perfect to jump on and tighten up your iron play

I have played this course many times as a visitor. It is only 11 holes so to play 18 you have to play 3-9 again off different tees. That is the only downside to the course. On the positives it is always in nice condition although not too challenging. I’ll continue to play this course as I enjoy it. Good value for money and club staff and green keepers are very friendly.
