A Gem

Wonderful golf course with panoramic views on every hole. Each hole presents formidable challenges off the tee both in terms of ball placement and distance as invariably I was playing a wood or long iron for my second. There were water features everywhere and 3 of the Par 5 holes really spring to mind in this respect...risk/reward tee shots over the lake to shorten the hole with additional water features around the green for good measure!! The greens were wonderful...huge ,swirling masterpieces one and all and in spite of it being February, were in great condition considering the time of year. The course was a little damp underfoot but again, only to be expected really... I can't wait to play it again in the spring/summer. It's a long trek and we opted to walk although I could see why a buggy might be a sensible option for those of more senior years or maybe not as fit as they once were.
In conclusion, Concra Wood is a fabulous course on a fabulous setting and I really couldn't recommend it highly enough!!

Very good track

Played early morning after heavy downpour the previous night. Course held up very well. Greens were in very good condition given recent weather.

Would recommend this course will be back to play again soon.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course and the experience of Concra Wood. I was very pleased, having invited a guest from England to play the course for the fi

I only scored course conditions as ‘Good’ for two reasons:
1. The course was very soft and the grass on the fairways left long so no run on the ball. This is not a criticism and was to be expected given extensive heavy rainfall in the local area over the past month.

2. On fairways that had been mown, grass clippings had not been collected and looked a little unsightly.

Greens were in very good condition despite recent weather conditions and it is still very early in the season.
