Westerwood Hotel Golf Club

Nice course,good challenge, but long walks between holes and amenities outside golf poor.

Good course design.
Greens a little bumpy but can be expected at this time of year.

Picked this course as it was central to all parties playing and thought that with the Hilton name it would be a good quality course but it is only Hilton in name only.
Pros. Quite a challenging course and interesting layout. It requires a great deal of accuracy. Staying out the rough is a must. Staff, I'd imagine, would be nice however I didn't engage with any so can't say anything negative.
Cons. Green condition was shocking. Like a teenagers pimpled face. One hole had a large pile of sand next to it. We thought it was a mole hill on the green but it was just a big pile of sand. The drainage was terrible at most holes and the ground was very soft. The paths between holes were pretty hazardous and an older player could easily hurt themselves if they placed their foot wrongly. Think terrible roads with pot holes and you get my gist. Tee areas were pretty terrible too.
Overall. I think it has the potential to be a good course but requires a fair bit of investment to bring it up to the standards that Seve probably expected when he designed the course. Some nice holes with the 10th being very picturesque and the par 3 over the pond. As I said in the title......could be so much better.

The course was in good condition considering the amount of rain. Will play again later in the season to see how it plays

Great course with fantastic layout, quite testi g and a great walk with beutiful scenery.

Great value for money though could do with some TLC at certain parts .

But overall fantastic day out with great friends and staff were also freindly and very helpful.

Definitely be back again once the blisters on my heels are better lol 😆

Absolutely horrendous golf course, all greens look diseased. Fairways neglected, do not waste you money booking this course, you wil just be very very well disappointed. Westerwood use to be one of the best in area with pristine greens, now it’s on par if not worse than local council courses. It’s a shame. I’ll never be back.

Course was very sodden and muddy, the play was very slow due to groups of 4 taking a while infront of me in the front 9(i was playing myself mind you). Other than that, my first time playing on the course, will be back, found it challenging and a good course!

Great round, second time playing the course. Few winter greens albeit fair conditions but this didn’t upset the round. I enjoyed the variety this course offers - a few tee shots over water and some blind shots which makes a fun and challenging experience. I never used the off-course amenities besides the pro-shop but there is a nice practice area before the 1st tee. Recommended course from my experience, will be back.

Enjoyable and interesting course layout. Stunning scenery in places. For £15 for 18 holes, I think this was very good value for money.

Every fairway I hit I was still losing balls due to how wet the fairways are, worse course I’ve played condition wise in years.

Course layout is good with some lovely looking holes, however the conditions made it unenjoyable.

Terrible golf course, terrible condition. No starter to regulate tee times, so there's just back log of folk waiting on tees. If you enjoy golf, don't come here.

First time playing here since covid pandemic. Front nine very poor condition greens needing attention and fairways needing work done. Back nine looks in better condition but greens are needing more work. Will play again at some point when things have improved. Very impressed with the pro shop

Played this course twice in the last 9 months and I doubt I’ll be rushing to play it again.
The weather was really poor and the course probably should have been closed. A number of the greens were flooded. Weather is out with their control, but £24 to play a course you can’t putt on is poor.
General condition of the course is poor. The tee boxes are needing maintenance and the bunkers are in a terrible state. Greens in general are really poor and even removing the surface water issue, they were some of the poorest I’ve played on locally.
It’s on par or slightly below a municipal course so definitely not worth the £25-£35 for a round.
Design wise is actually good and with more TLC it could be a good challenge for any golfer.

Great layout and potential. Greens v poor and although potentially v good was alround tired

Fairways and 1st cut, both needed cut.
Rough completely unplayable.
Greens - bare patches, need rolled, many with irritation holes, require watering.
Water features were just ponds of stagnant water.

Course has good potential, that’s why I have made these comments

Was a cracking day for golf so booked a round here as had t played it before. One really good holes to be played here. Greens were pretty patchy on places but the pins were kept to the best parts of the green. Some holes had some distance to walk in between some, more so 12th-13th. However we really enjoyed the course & will boom again. Next time probably hire a buggy as the hills weren’t pleasant to us in the heat 😂
