Greens are never on

Yes we have had awful rain this year. However greenways never has all the greens on.

I used to be a green keeper before my retirement so I am not aiming jibes with no reference point. I moved here two years ago and was hoping to join. However each year the course gets worse and they obviously just care about making money at the range. The pace of play was excellent due to no one wanting to play.

All other course in the area have more greens on. 4 today!

I walked over all the greens, 4 should have been off. The rest on. I'm sure they will put a post out in summer about how good the greens look, that is because the slightest bit of rain and they just say "leave them off" as I presume they don't even inspect them. I only ever see a tree surgeon working on the course. The other two just seem to drive around together.

The fairways are also awful , hole 9 should be closed if they are using the temp. The winter greens are the worst I have ever seen.

I can not justify joining a course that you can only enjoy 4 months a year.

Pleasantly surprised

OK, so you know the score. You take a day off to play a round at your club - and it's closed (again). Not only that but your back up (Cannock Park in my case) is also closed. So, sat in Stafford the only 'accessible' course I could think of was Greenway Hall. As I don't know Stoke on Trent overly well I didn't really have a clue where it was - and I was very nearly put off by the myriad of rather poor reviews across multiple sites. I'm so glad I wasn't. Firstly, credit to the club for the course being open - one of the very few. I did have to rush round a bit as I didn't tee off until 1500 but I was round for 1800 which I was really pleased about given an unfamiliar layout. I think all the tees were temporary and 15 of 18 greens were but all had double sized holes and were closely mown and given the fact all other courses seem to have been closed, it's hardly unreasonable. Also, I have to say, the three greens that were in play looked and felt in amazing condition - and surprisingly fast given the weather. Anyway, bottom line is by my standard (+23) I had an amazing round playing to 13 over - and that was with my score falling away over the last few holes. In fairness, I think the winter layout makes a significant difference as a couple of the tees look like they're set up to drive through trees and have quite an awkward set up, but you can only play what's in front of you and I loved it. Bizarrely for such a strong front nine, I didn't really enjoy the first four holes but I think that was mainly due to all being uphill and somewhat challenging for my standard - but holes five to around 13 are pretty straightforward and as long as you are fairly accurate off the tee, you'll get your reward. I do agree with other contributors that the layout in parts isn't great and there are several holes where you would need to be mindful of stray shots during busy play (not a problem for me this time). Also, parts of the course were unplayable but...see above. A bigger gripe would be the state of some of the winter tees - the inserts on many could do with replacing - and the lack of bins. Overall though, I loved it and plan to go back with a couple of mates in better conditions - if only to prove to them that there is a half decent golfer in me somewhere!

Awful course ruined by the owner

I have been a member for 8 years.

The current owner has squeezed the life out of the course.

The last manager came in with good intentions, however his hands were tied by the owner, who refuses to sell and refuses let people manage.

The course is the worse state I have seen it in, yet recently when the greens have looked good and playable the new management refuses ro put them on, or explain why.

The temporary greens are absolutely unplayable, they are sodden, covered in mud, uncut and in awful places. Whilst the greens are playable and not wet. I was hoping to play today, but again all temps.

So i have the choice of other courses nearby that are more enjoyable and they actually treat members with respect and communicate. It was nice to be able to get a tee in the winter mats and not have to get changed in my car

Apparently the new management are increasing membership fees by 180-300 because we are having a fitting bay and changing rooms.

We were told we were getting these years ago and was why the prices increased last time!

90 percent of the members will not use the fitting bay as us older chaps and other members can not afford the latest equipment. All the bay will do is put money into the owners pockets that never goes on the course.

We have lost 30 plus members already this year, and there will be a lot more in a few months where the price increases brings greenways in line with courses that cost the same but is on the worst temps of all time or closed 5 months of the year.

And lots not forget......its a 17 hole course.

Course has become awful for members

I have been a member for 6 years. I will be leaving this year.

The last few years they have consistently put up the price and said it was due to paying for new changing rooms, or work on the course. We haven't seen any of this. There is not enough green staff and the course is always on temps, literally can play a few months a year. The temps are also , by far the worst temps on any course I have ever played, and I have played lots of courses. I no longer invite friends to greenways as si am embarrassed by it.

A new manager came in several months ago, with good ideas and enthusiasm, however the owner as usual has ensures they are not achievable.

Again a new manager has come in and there is now rumours of a 150-290 membership increase. Apparently they will try to justify it by saying we are getting changing rooms and a fitting bay. The same changing rooms we have been waiting on for years, and what is the point of a fitting bay, if the course is awful and never open! A fitting bay just benefits money into the owners hands....the majority of members can not afford 1k plus iron sets, so this will be of no use whatsoever.

I walked the course yesterday and it was all temps, at least 9 should not be. Then when I call to book as I presumed they would be on today, as zero rain.....to be told its all temps!

The new managers must not like golfers.

Really sad to be leaving, but now they are making the price the same as higher spec courses, with real clubhouses and more support for members I am having to leave.

The owner has killed the course

Winter greens

Very disappointed to turn up to find none of the greens were in use. We'd called up in advance to check and were told the course was in fully playable condition. Shame as it looks like a cracking course with excellent facilities.

Friendly and good value

Friendly and good value

Considering its December with very miserable weather, the greens are very good. Some basic holes mixed with some superb character holes make this a great choice to play.

More importantly, i was recommended this course by an incoming Golf Director who is the best golfer ive ever played with. I'm 100% sure this golf club will become the best in the area with the new appointment as i have both played in pro-ams and done business with him.

Simon i wish you all the best

Good all rounder for midweek

In the weekdays this course is very good to play, it is short but plays longer and challenging conditions. Only downside is the fairways that cross each other and tees hitting across greens. The layout isn't brilliant but condition very good for the time of year compared to other local courses. Greens read true but slower paced

Course has become the worst in staffordshire

I played here several years ago when they still owned the clubhouse and for the price it was a delight.

Upon playing again I will never go back.

The green's have no grass on them and are very bobbly. The tees are uneven and drier than the Sahara, you need a hammer to get your tees in.

I had to get changed in the toilets as they have sold the clubhouse that contains the changing rooms!

The bunkers are the worst I have ever seen. The sand is like grit with stones in that damages your club and has only a tiny bit of "sand" in, therefore your club bounces out, underneath the thin layer is hard clay or in one bunker an actual mat!

There is one ball cleaner all the way round where a member joked that it hasn't seen water since the eighties.

I asked one of the members if they had made any investment in the course, to which they responded..... No, but they have put the prices up. They also said an email had gone out to members where everyone's grievances were made, but it was a list of excuses and no actions apparently. I can not fathom why at the very least they can't water greens at night like other courses.

The people at the local bar said that in winter it is unbelievably bad and some temp greens are uncut and just white circles on a fairway that your ball rolls off.

My friends are members of westwood (by no means the beat course in staffordshire) but when I played their two days earlier, the green's were actually green..... And soft. Course kept inovy condition, welcoming atmosphere and actually have sand in bunkers, on top of this they have the luxury of changing rooms and a shop that doesn't just sell under armour.

Considering to be a member of westwood is and extra 100 and on top of all the above simple things, the members get a say..... It astounds me.

I did leave a shorter bit of constructive feedback on Facebook, however my comment was removed and they blocked me. A great way to deal with social Media.

Your members deserve bettwe

Poor temp greens

Beautiful course but paying £17.50 to putt on a fairway is ridiculous. I may as well of left my putter in the car. The temp greens weren’t cut and a few were put on the side of hills making them unplayable. A waste of time and money. Such a shame.

Great course

We’ve only been playing for about 6 months but this was a step above the other 3 local courses we’ve played. Fairways were well kept, nice and short - provided the opportunity for clean shots every stroke. We found one or two of the winter tees a bit tricky to find but the regulars were happy to point us in the right direction. Really enjoyed the layout of the course, with a good mix of long and short holes well sequences so it never felt like a slog.

Great day

Played here plenty of times, and it never disappoints. Take your tin hat for shared fairways on hole 2 and 17, but once this is navigated its open and a really good test for all abilities. I have I'll definitely be returning soon.
