Excellent course

Everything about Dainton is good including the clubhouse. Course has wide fairways but still some good challenges.

March 2023

Played here mid-March. Ground was soft but not boggy with not much run on the fairways. I guess to be expected at this time of year. Good variety of hole layouts with a tricky bit of water here and there with short distances from green to next tee. Friendly staff and decent facilities; pro and driving range.

Great for the time of year

Lovely course and amazing rates. It does get quite busy and the pace off play usually ends up with a slow last few holes.

I usually play as a one-ball which probably doesn’t help, that being said other golfers seemed to be a bit frustrated with the pace.

Winter Golf

The staff were excellent and friendly, driving range to warm up on and the course was excellent. The only downside was the weather and the pace of play.

Wet weather
Walked

Superbly maintained despite very wet weather!

My group (3 ball) were keen to play some golf over the Xmas period but were worried about the potential conditions considering there was substantial rain over this timeframe. The day prior to our round the course was closed due to rain and we were pleasantly surprised to not only find it open for our round but in excellent condition.

Staff were very friendly and facilities were excellent also.

Pick up your tees!!!!!

The course was in good condition but the pace of play was ridiculously slow, yes there was a function on but they were well clear before my slot. Another bug bear of mine at the moment is the amount of discarded tees laying around on the tee boxes……. There are plenty of bins around…… why are these not picked up and put in the bin…..and even more annoying….. most were plastic aswell!! There were hundreds around the course…… I had time to pick a few up due to the slowness of the round!!!

Super Challenge

Great afternoon's golf on a really super course - first round here & shot 4 under par (after handicap). Think hiring a buggy helped. Will play here again.

The course is great not one hole is the same

Great course to add to your bucket list if you have not played it before. Not one hole is the same which makes it challenging specially the ones where there is water,
The nineteenth hole serves great food and friendly staff.

Super Friendly Course

I booked to play here as the reviews were so good and highlighted how friendly the staff and members were. I was not disappointed one little bit. Due to recent wet weather, only 14 holes were open; the pro was very helpful and pleasant in highlighting the holes which were open and the best way to navigate around the course. I had a quick visit to the range which was excellent, and then made my way to the 5th tee; the starting hole for the day. I was greeted by 3 members; Peter, Marty and Sarah, who were about to tee off. They invited me to go ahead as I was on my own. I could see the course was full, so I told them I was fine and in no hurry, at which point they invited me to join up with to go around as a group of four. We had a fabulous round; I couldn’t have wished for a more pleasant group of playing partners. The course is very interesting with a good variety of challenging holes. I stopped for a coffee afterwards which was very pleasant as well. All I all a fabulous course.
