First proper summer round

Course was in great condition although greens a little slow but overall an excellent course to visit and play. Friendly staff in the pro shop and lovely clubhouse to end the days golf with a nice pint of Stella 4. I highly recommend you play this course if you get a chance.

Quality course

A well laid out course, a little boggy on the fringes, but we have had a very wet month. We enjoyed the course, friendly club members

Short but tricky

The course was in pretty good condition, the greens were almost back to top notch and given a few weeks probably will be, it’s a short course on paper but tricky on grass, your tee shots must be in the right position. Overall a great course and always worth a visit

Very good first visit.

Really enjoyed playing at Gathurst gc for the first time, very early season so will probably look even better in the middle of summer, for the time of year and just come out of lockdown the tee blocks fairways and greens were very good, friendly pro who explained where everything was, will hopefully play here again in the middle of summer, recommend this course.

Gathurst

Overall enjoyable afternoon at Gathurst.
Very friendly staff both in the pro shop and the bar facilities later ...
Some areas to improve ... ...no hot water available to serve either tea or coffee ....sometime you just need a hot drink to warm up !
Course in fairly good condition - however greens do need cutting .

Nice course

First time playing this course, nice layout shame about the weather though it was pretty bad, bit confused with the flag colours. Usually either one colour overall or one for the front 9 and different for the back 9, seemed to be mixed between white, red and blue. Would definitely go back in the spring.

Shame

Second visit here second early departure for slow play. Visitors slow play this time, last time lady members taking 5 hours a round and chatting on greens they’d finished on. Nice course but walked off after 2.5 hours on tenth. Just about unplayable due to recent rain. Playing off mats but tee boxes looked fine.
