Great course

Haigh halll is an excellent course to play when it’s dry. If there have been long periods of rain or damp winter months it gets very muddy and hard work
IIn the spring up until winter the course is as good as any. Well worth a visit and value for money

Well, I had read reviews, and iv not played this course for about 20 years, I knew it closed and then reopened so didn't know what to expect especially after the reviews. well got to say I was so shocked how good the greens and fairways were considering the weather we have had. It's a must-play and definitely be going again

Haigh hall first time review

I played the course on the 5th of February and it was great value for money however the weather conditions were awful and the course in my opinion should not have been opened due to water logging and torrential rain and wind. Although I was silly enough to play in these conditions. The course on a dry wind free day would be amazing especially for the price. Cannot wait to play again in better conditions

Worst Course EVER!

I can’t even begin to describe this golf course. It wasn’t a golf course. It was a mud field that someone from the council had stuck numbered flags into. The only thing I can say in the courses defence is that, the weather was horrible… but I’ve played on many courses in similar conditions and never had an experience as bad. Do not visit this course.
