Longhirst Hall Hotel & Golf - The Lakes Course

First time at the Lakes & Wow what a great course great set up outstanding fairways. stunning greens and competition speed loved the whole day and course

Nice course that was well maintained, fairways good, greens quick, a lot of wildlife on the course due to the amount of water, so lots of goose, swan poo, it didn’t interfere too much with the day, but i suppose it is to be expected and green keepers can’t really do anything about it,
Very nice day overall

The course has a great layout. The Pro or golf manager was very helpful explaining possible membership.

The course layout is great. Not a straight forward course, need thinking to get around. Good challenging course !

I am so impressed with this course. I first played it a couple of weeks ago and it just blows me away how well kept it is. The greens are in phenomenal condition, the fairways are just sublime, and despite me losing to my playing partner by 1 point, I didn’t really care because I’d enjoyed the scenery and the diverse range of holes that the Lakes course had to offer. I have since played another 2 times at Longhirst, once on the Dawson course and one more Lakes round. I am back up there tomorrow on the Dawson, and just can’t wait to be standing over my ball on the first tee.
5 stars all round for the friendly staff and the great job they have done not only on the course, but in their clubhouse, allowing players (and non-players) to feel safe when ordering drinks etc... as all the required safety features were well in place and working perfectly.

Thanks for a wonderful experience...!

First time playing the lakes course and it's easily one of the best courses I've been on.

Challenging course with the amount of water. If you're going for the first time and as much of a amateur as i am.. take plenty of balls!

Fantastic par 3's and great views.

Definitely recommend it and definitely going again

1st game since feb---big C to blame. still on partial lockdown but staff helpful upon checkin.
played the Lakes which has a good variety of holes & supprisingly lost only one ball.
The ground was hard--rain needed--but fairways good & greens true although they were a bit seedy.
great value & will defo go back.
Many thanks to my caddy / wife Joanne who is a very good putter on those greens !!

Considering the amount of inclement weather the course had drained well as opposed to others in the area,all three of us enjoyed our game and will be returning as soon as time allows.

A mother and son of Ch in ese wouldn’t allow a 1 ball through even though they were playing off the reds and I was standing on the yellows waiting to tee off... I gather they are members but very ignorant and not playing within the spirit of the game they would stand looking for balls in the rough etc.. when we are both standing on the same tee and you don’t let someone through is very disgraceful and these people should be educated as a former member I think it is disgusting that this goes on even the 3 ball behind me said they will never let you through. Kind of put me off rejoining. I teed off when they were looking for their balls but still tried to play ahead of me! Complete joke love the course just dislike the ignorance of this woman!

Course played really well and was in very good condition definitely has some good challenging holes. I’ll definitely be playing here again soon

Great course to play the green keepers do a fantastic job

Course in great condition and as name suggests plent of water waiting for any wayward golf shots.Recommended for those seeking a challenge.

This course is brilliant to play, even for a 18 handicapper like myself. The fairways and greens are first class, it is a fair course with forgiving fairways but some greens are quite tight and there is a lot of water. The thing that lets is down is the pace of play and other golfers etiquette. I was playing on my own but waited behind a 4 ball on ever tee from the 4th. These people are a disgrace and they ruin it for others. This is the 3rd time I’ve played here and it has been over 4 hours for every round. Other than that it was superb!

Great layout but in tatty condition and massive walks between greens and tee boxes

Course was in good condition for the time of year will definitely be back in summer to see it at its best. Nice layout some challenging holes.
