Fabulous condition

First time playing this course that had been recommended to me. Couldn’t fault it, the course was so dry under foot even an all the rain that we’ve had. The greens were in such good condition, better than some greens I’ve played in the Summer.
Interesting course to play . Definitely will be playing again.

Great winter course

Played twice in two days, having first played a couple of years ago. Only ever played in Winter (November /January) and it's as good a course as you can find locally for Winter courses. 18 regular greens on, no temps. Mix of regular grass tees and some artificial, but very good quality artificial. The course drains excellently, staying open and in great condition when others are closed/partly closed, we drove 40 minutes from Sheffield to play and it was worth it as no courses near us could offer as good conditions. Fairway mats are in use from 1st November, can be hired from the pro shop. Pace of play is good, but there's quite a bottleneck on the 7th/8th holes due to a shared fairway, so things can grind to a bit of a halt if players aren't sensible or mindful.

Chris in the pro shop is welcoming and friendly, as are the staff in the clubhouse. Be mindful that the bar closes around 3pm during the week (possibly only during winter?), so 19th hole may not be available if you're teeing off late morning.

Always a fantastic winter course, however..

Great course for the time of year, regular player here and the greens and fairways in the usual good standard.. they have introduced fairway mats which are literally horrendous and a waste of time, can't believe they are £3.50 just to hire.

Rough ground in between hols

Greens and fairways are ok but not enough established paths and signage. Some holes have bumpy rough ground to cross to get to fairway which with a trolly is tricky. Cheap golf but course needs a bit of investment.

Some nice interesting holes

Good value for this course. Interesting holes and fair condition. For women it is quite challenging and sometimes difficult to find the t boxes! Not well signposted, but don't let that put you off, it's definitely worth playing.

Quirky, but enjoyable

The biggest reason we played this course was to avoid the mud, due the huge amount of rain we have experienced recently. Exceptionally well drained. Greens are quite quick, however had weird marking on them, which is apparently due to the machine leaking hydraulic fluid, so I was told.
The course is hilly, so having walked, was shattered by the 17th hole, which showed in my game, but I am not as fit as I was.
Enjoyable afternoon, would do again.

It was okay nothing special. Very tricky mix up of fairways in the front 9 made pace of play even worse. But not bad for the money

Shocking

This was probably the worst course I've played for a number of reason. First of all after starting the round the ques started on hole 3 and would last for the rest of the round. The course was in terrible condition only the greens was worth playing and then cos the local rude boys walking straight down holes while people are waiting to playing play dog walkers and the local crack head or 2. Never again I walked off at the 8th hole I'd seen enough

Pace of play

5 minute tee times on a busy sunny day absolutely kill you. Has to change as at one point we joined two other groups on the tee. Fairways patchy where divots not replaced (can't blame green staff), greens themselves in decent enough condition. Staff/members friendly.

Bully for Bulwell

Played this for first time. Quirky comes to mind but still fun. Not one I’d rush back to play but if you looking for a round you could do a lot worse.
