Gathurst Golf Club

Not a bad course, very boggy in places due to the rain recently, good amenities and friendly welcoming staff, i would play there again.

I do really like this course and I take no pleasure in giving it a really bad review, we have played it twice this season, once at the beginning of summer in June. At that time it was a complete bog with extremely wet fairways and rough where you could not even find a ball if you missed the fairways. Moving on to this week at the end of the summer I was again truly disappointed, firstly the greens have just been holatined and left with gaping holes with no sand and not been rolled. I understand that this has to happen but apart from that the lack of course maintains left a lot to be desired, the tee boxes were a disgrace, long grass and bare patches all over and the fairways needed a long overdue cut. The rough was overrun with clover and you were lucky if you found your ball should you hit the odd errant shot. All in all it will be a long time until, if ever I will return to this course. Avoid at all cost

Disappointing that the greens holotind and charged full price

Well maintained course with interesting holes. Generally wide fairways and fast greens, often sloping .

We played a 3 ball and all loved the course and the staff were amazing. The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars was that the greens had recently been cored and whilst they were certainly of a good standard, they were not as good as we were expecting given other reviews.
Fantastic day and we will be recommending the course to be put on our society list.

Great course. Some fairways very narrow. Greens in wonderful condition. Very enjoyable round of golf. Would play again.

Hard to play - should be easier next time now understanding course - greens tricky but great

Stunning course , course in great condition with the weather , greens where spot on would highly recommend

Not the most inspiring of courses, quite hilly in parts and a lot of holes very similar in design/layout. Reasonable value for money, worth a visit, very friendly staff.

Pro shop welcome was excellent. Shop itself is well stocked and competitively priced.

Spoke to a few members pre round who were also nice and welcoming.

Course was in decent condition, greens a little 'fluffy' in need of a cut but as it was Sunday on a BH weekend it was to be expected. At least they were very consistent.

Will be back for sure

Never disappoints! Have played Gathurst fairly regularly over recent years and it is always enjoyable - the set-up is always fair, course conditions excellent and this makes for a great day's golf.
The two 9s are different but equally challenging, the front nine is longer, you need to plan your way around, the back nine significantly shorter but equally tricky.
The greens were superb - quite quick for this early in the year but very true.
Although the weather has been quite dry of late there were some softer patches here and there but these were away from the fairways and didn't cause any issues.
I look forward to my next visit and trying to better my best ever score around Gathurst this time.

We have played this course probably 7 times over the last few years and have always found it in excellent condition, unfortunately this time it was like a bog in the rough and the greens were slow and very uneven, I understand that the holatining had been done a few weeks earlier and I understand that has to be done so can’t complain about that. But I have never played it in such a wet boggy condition and I suppose we just have to say avoid it for about 6 weeks until the rough has been cut because you won’t find your ball if you don’t hit the fairway.

I have to give an honest review based on the day we had. It was wet and windy, absolutely awful conditions, only idiots would play in it.

The course itself is really good, a good test but also gives you opportunities to score.

The two downsides were the conditions were awful, standing water everywhere but absolutely nothing the club can do about that but the greens weren't the best. I think they'd been treated so were longer than you'd expect and very, very slow. Leaving putts ten feet short and I know I'm a bad putter but even still!!

What I would say though is I'll definitely look to go back when the weathers better, could be tomorrow, could never happen.

Lovely little course really enjoyed it.
Great condition for this time of year, greens needed some TLC and were slow especially the front 9 however that’s to be expected this time of year.
Great value, would definitely come back.

Good little course, greens wasn’t amazing but will definitely be back to play it again 👍🏼

The members in the club house made me feel very welcome as did the members playing the course
A nice layout and ideal for a mid handicap player not long holes but done up hill with some tight lines if you hit the fairway your in business
Some lovey scenery too
Well worth the money and I’ll definitely be playing here again
