Return after 4 decades

Nice parkland course from farm fields now with a variety of mature trees. Much in existence still on the back 9 fairways are the ridge and furrow. Great views of the rolling Leicestershire countryside on the front 9 and now a few holes on the back 9 with new housing being built adjacent to the course as Oadby expands.

Greens needed watering

On the whole course was in fantastic condition tee to green, however the greens themselves were like concrete and clearly hadn't been watered for a while. Unable to land anything on them to hold the green, even wedges were running on 10 yards after landing let alone a longer iron where you would have to land it 20 yards short and run it up. Shame as the layout and everything else about the course was in top shape.

Nice course and facilities

Glen Gorse is one of my favourite local courses. It is quite a challenge for high handicappers like myself particularly in the winter months, but this week the course and in particular the greens were immaculate, and all four of our group recorded reasonable scores. We were greeted in a very friendly manner on arrival and given access to the locker rooms etc. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to use the clubhouse facilities after the round, but will look forward to rectifying this on my next visit.
