Great track - try it out

Played a 4 ball in mid January after a period of heavy rains. Course played very well and all holes open without restrictions other than winter rules. Bunkers in great shape and very friendly members and staff in the clubhouse after our round.

Will return - its a very solid challenge.

Would definitely go again.

Staff really friendly, would definitely go again. I gave the course condition as a 4 only because its winter time I'm sure it will be a 5 in the summer. Pace of play, i was on my own with there being a 2 ball in front of me and a 4 ball in front of them so it was just average really.

Amazing course for winter conditions

I played this course on 21st January 22 for the first time. Having been let down by numerous courses during winter which were in really poor condition I was worried about playing a new course.

However I am very pleasantly surprised that this course was in great winter condition. It was on full tees and all normal greens which was great. The course was just in a really good condition for the time of year and is far ahead of others I have recently played, which were more expensive too.

The pro in the shop was friendly and helpful.

The layout of the course was great. Plenty of variance in hole design and challenges to overcome.

Only reason I gave 4 stars for amenities was the mens toilets were closed for renovation.

Genuinely really pleased with this course and if it were closer to home, I'd of sent in my membership application tonight.

Highly recommend.

Lovely course and staff

Am a member at another local course but fancied a change for a round somewhere else on a day off from work. The pro was super friendly on arrival and very helpful. The course was in great condition given the recent weather. Members were very friendly. Interesting parkland course, manydog legs keep you thinking how to plot your way round, will love to come back in sunnier times. Hit the 9th green off the tee so a happy day out!

Nice day for it!

Played the front 9 In warm muggy weather, course in very good condition, greens fast and true. Then the rain came, really heavy rain. We decided to call it a day after the 11th, I think any course would be unplayable during this deluge, plus it wasn't very pleasant, so will play vicars Cross again.

Another great round at Vicars Cross

2-40pm Four ball. 2 of use utilised a buggy which was very much welcomed with the up and down nature of the course. The greens are very fast and challenging. My best moment was Par at 18th and enjoying a post round drink on the outside patio.
The staff were all very friendly and members out on the course chatty and welcoming.
Only thing to add would be a course map on the scorecard as finding the next hole can sometimes be a little difficult. Also you need a code to exit the carpark and this can be obtained from the pro shop or bar if a late finish.
I will be playing this course again for certain.

Great afternoon golf at Vicars Cross

Fabulous golf course. Excellent practice facilities, hit some balls on the driving range before the round. Arranged a buggy but ladies using it did not finish for out tee time. Pro shop arranged for us to pick it up after 8th hole.
Nice lunch outdoors before the round. All staff very friendly and helpful. Members on the course chatty and pace of play was good. The fairways and greens in fabulous condition. So impressed I’m considering joining the club- if they will have me!!

Friday knock

Nice course layout with some challenging holes. Not too long and greens in good condition. Would go back again in the summer months. Some of the bunkers needed a touch more sand but overall very good and enjoyed it.
