Enjoyable course to play and challenging, greens and tee boxes in excellent condition but the fairways were bone dry. Would highly recommend the course overall. Shame we couldn't get a pint afterwards they stopped serving at 6 on a Saturday

The course was very dry due to the weather we’ve had lately the greens had nice different levels in them but were on the downside the were a bit slow and had probably been treated earlier in the week.

Struggling

Course seems to be really struggling after the recent dry spell. Greens are ok however fairways look like they may have been lost, really burnt out and in a lot of areas no grass at all. Tee boxes on some holes are very scruffy as are a lot of the bunkers. We get a green fee at £35 however if we had booked 10 minutes earlier it would have been £60 which would have left me feeling really disappointed. It’s a good layout with some very quirky holes however I don’t think I’d rush back to play any time soon and would play other similarly priced courses first such as Barlaston (which is immaculate). Such a shame as it was in lovely condition last time we played here.

A top 5 course in Shropshire

Having played Market Drayton several times, the course is a well payed out, challenging layout that forces you to think your way through your shots. Condition is always fantastic in the summer and drains well in the winter. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

Pro shop could be slightly better stocked and the driving range facilities are basic.

Overall, I’d definitely put Market in the top 5 courses in Shropshire with the likes of Shifnal, The Wrekin, The Astbury and Hawkstone Park in my opinion

Great course

Booked a 2:15 tee time on a lovely Saturday afternoon,

Arrived staff friendly and welcoming, nothing to much trouble.

All holes are great but the gems are the 2 par 3’s in the front 9.

We hired a buggy for this round and I’m glad we did as there are plenty of up and downs.

No groups in front or behind us which also made for a stress free couple of hours.

A visit to Market Drayton

I have always enjoyed playing this course, you are always made to feel welcome. The course has a great lay out and it's always very well presented. Although the weather has not been good, the course is well established so I have always been impressed when I play here and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone as a possible venue.

Excellent

Very good course, really well kept. Dry-ish fairways but really receptive greens in Jul 2022.

I played at 3pm-ish and paid £20 on GolfNow, excellent value for money.

Practice putting green by the first tee, and practice nets by the car park means you can warm up before playing.

A few holes which criss-cross, which I imagine can slow things up a little on a busy day, but overall a very enjoyable experience, will definitely play again.

Unbeatable value & excellent condition

From the helpful Professional to the course condition this really is unbeatable value. It’s places a premium on accuracy and rewards tactical/positional tee shots. Not long by any means but the pins can be located in very challenging positions. Highly recommended.

Deciding Factor

Played there yesterday afternoon. The course was very quiet and only had a slight holdup by three lady members from holes 7-9. The fairways and greens were in lovely condition. Quite hilly though. Downside for me was the price of the buggy hire for non members. It cost more than the round! £25!!!

I have no choice as I have a disability when prevents me from walking round. No concessions for the disabled! Won’t be hurrying back til they review this problem.
