Temporary greens

All 18 holes were on temporary greens. To be fair the staff offered to move the booking but we decided to go ahead anyway which was our decision. I wouldn't make the same decision again as the temporary greens were virtually impossible to putt on. It is a nice long course and I wouldn't hesitate to play there again. Couldn't fault the staff and the facilities are nice

Quiet for a Saturday

Course layouts was quite good
Looks like a farmers fuels conversion in parts
Bunkers are very poor ( only went in one but playing partners were regular visitors )- they were great in colour for most part

Greens were true and in good order

Catering / bar was good

Teddy on tour

The course layout was pretty good and pace of play. Course amenities were good and putting green pace mid to fast.
We found the course was dry and firm. Greens required some additional watering. Greens ran true when putting. A quite tight course in areas with a lot of out of bounds.
The holes we enjoyed : 6th, 10th , 15th and 17th.
Well worth a round

FOG wind

Played the other day here. Good course, well worth the money. Greens are generally elevated and were rock hard which made stopping the ball on them very difficult. The course is open and this means it is windy which makes long par 5s Into the wind difficult. Big plusses is the condition of the course which was excellent. I will be back!

FOG is worth the visit

Lovely open parkland course with a links feel. Greens in excellent condition despite the lack of rain. Only complaint is that there was not enough sand in the bunkers. I know because I felt the need to play out of them far too often!!!

Really Enjoyable Saturday Afternoon

First time playing here and really enjoyed it.. well placed trees and bunkers to make it slightly difficult but still nice and open through the middle.
Great value for money & will definitely be returning again.

Hard bunkers let down a nice course

Having played here a couple of times over winter when the course suffered badly due to the wet this was our first time back here in the dry. It just happened to be the hottest day of the year which was a test for all of us. Playing as part of a fourball who all like to play at a decent pace we tee’d off on time with nobody in front of us. The tee boxes are all in reasonable condition. Greens as well.
If we do have a gripe then it was probably that the bunkers are quite bad in places. It’s hard sand and there were stones in the same bunkers where this hard sand was. There were a few bunkers which was soft sand and they were great. It’s such a shame that all bunkers aren’t the same grade sand. Trying to play out of the harder sanded ones was quite impossible.
All in all we had a good round and only saw a few other groups during our 18 holes. I would recommend Forest of Galtres for an enjoyable round.
