£30

Paid £20 online. Each for 3 people. Another person joined us. Cost £30. At the course to add him on.This was on Tuesday 3rd oct 2023. On website it looks like £20 all day Tuesday . So feel it should be clearer on website or staff should know correct charges. It does look like £30 on other days. But definitely £20 on tuesdays

Slow greens

The welcome and pace of play were good but the greens were unusually slow. I have played at least 25 different courses this year and these were the slowest I have played on. Couple that with the grass on the fairways being particularly shaggy and some of the green side grass being in poor condition, I found it difficult to play but not in a good way !

No Sand in bunkers

No sand in the vast majority of the bunkers. Happily I only visited 2 during my round of 84 but in mid summer this is very very poor. Bunkers were like chipping off a cart path. Rest of day good. Only thing letting them down.

Good value at £23.99 greens and bunkers well maintained

Not the prettiest but a very pleasant course and for 23.99 I would play here again. York has many options for high handicappers like me and at 23.99 is a decent option

Nice surprise

Enjoyed our round here, the greens were true but maybe a little slow but overall course was in good condition. Play was a little slow as there were a few groups of what looked like new golfers who didn’t seem aware of the need to let us through. Can’t hold this against the course.

Not the best stocked pro shop but the pro and the lady behind the bar couldn’t be friendlier and were very accommodating.

Will play again

Nice course

Really enjoyed the round I played here very scenic and the course is well thought out. With a few tricky tee shots. There was a hole on the back nine that had a little issue on the grass but other than that it was spotless. Highly recommendable and playing again today.

Good course

A good course, well set out and in great condition. A bit smushy around some holes but I think a lot of places are this year. Got held up by some really slow play, but maybe unlucky on us, I would still recommend this course, it has some really beautiful holes and is nice to play.
