Cocks Moors Woods Golf Course

I remember this course from my younger days and always rated it as a superb course for a municipal
The holes are varied and challenging and the conditions were always excellent
I booked a last minute round on my own as I haven’t been playing well recently and thought I could try some things out
Sadly the course was in total disrepair the greens were as long as fairways, the fairways as deep as rough ( I lost 4 balls off the tees that went straight down the middle), and the tees were indistinguishable from the rest of the course
I was the only one playing and I can see why!

To start. Paid for full 18. No notification that the front 9 was closed and would have to play the back 9 twice. I could have understood that but the entire course should have been closed. I lost 8 balls in the fairway. It was that soggy. The green weren't really greens just slightly shorter cut. I played here a few years back, it wasn't a prime course but was exceptional value for money. Now it isn't worth the money. Ended up only playing 7 holes and had enough. I know this time of year can be difficult with the rain we have had but this was rediculas. I wouldn't even recommend this course to complete beginners. It's just a field with flags in it.

I played here a few times over the last 15 years,

For £18 each (3 ball) you couldn't ask for more. It had been wet over night and the course although wet was holding up well. Each hole has something different to challenge you. Not your typical driver off anything thats not a par 3.

Yes it could be better, the fairways could be cut shorter, Tee's would benefit from a haircut too, noone wants to use the rakes provided and the booking system clashes with "My Time" app. But at the end of the day if you are looking for those things you don't play this type of course.

I would definitely play this course again.

The course is in poor condition, the greens are awful, the ball bobbles along the green. The fairways are long too.

The course was in terrible condition greens were like the lunar landscape, fairways were non existent permanent light rough.. Bunkers like concrete no course maintenance what so ever,families playing football on greens. and to cap it all our tee time was 16.00 so expected finish time would be around 19.30-20.00. sign on car park said would be closing at 18.00. What kind of joke course is this I would not recommend that anyone should play this course are you listening MY Time Active..

I visited this course on 1st February it was the worst experience I have ever had
playing golf I don't the course should have been open.

Goes without saying that the course wasn't in the best condition due to the amount of rain, however that said the course was barely playable so boggy and no sign of drainage. The bunkers clearly havnt been tended for some time so again we're unplayable, best thing was the greens which were in OK shape but obviously slow.

Played here today, absolutely shocking. I got told I couldn’t leave my car on the car park after 18:15 as the gates will be locked. No good to me as my tee off time was 16:30. Course and tees in shocking condition. To make it worst was the 20 minute wait on most tees. Ended up walking off the course on the 7th hole after 25 minute wait on the tee for this par 3. I will never play there again and wouldn’t recommend it. Worse course I’ve ever played.

Ok it's a municipal course and not a private club but given that the course is in decent condition and the greens pretty true. There were some hackers in front taking quite a few shots but both let us play through and we finished the round in 3.25 hrs.
Not a long course but a lot of holes with tricky approaches due to the many trees and brook cutting across the course. Choice of tee time, enjoyable and cheap.

great course for the average golfer. Well worth a visit

Nice little course, not long but accuracy and distance control needed to get a good score.
Fairways good, greens excellent, bunkers okay.
BUT... Four and three quarter hours for a twoball going 5800 yards is a joke.

I have played this course many times and always have an enjoyable experience. There are a wide variety of holes of varying difficulites. The course is generally fair and the greens are kept to a high standard. With green fees of arounf £12 on weekdays this is an excellent value course.

No problem with the course, just another slow round due to lack of etiquette or just plain decency ..4 hours 15 mins for a 2 ball.

I was a junior member here 15 years ago and it's not really changed a great deal. Challenging front 9 then a slightly easier back 9. Great value for money that I have found hard to beat. The club pro Steve Ellis and his son Matt are 2 top guys who will always give help/advice if required.

Early tee off, got around in just under 3 hours ,some great testers ,greens and course condition very good ,would play again at that price !

This is a mature course with a variety of challenging holes. Played yesterday. The fairways are recovering well from the recent drought but the greens were exceptional, smooth and true.
