Normanby Hall Country Park

Pro shop not open on arrival so no score card or advice on course. Pace of play was so slow walked off after 9 holes.
4 balls with 3 sets of clubs, 3 balls with 2 sets of clubs. Play in jeans or an old t shirt if you fancy.
It seems anybody can just walk on wearing anything and share clubs, I assume saving on tee fees. I am not a golf snob by any stretch of the imagination but seen better etiquette on a crazy golf course.
Course in very poor condition in places.
First and last game here.

I got half way there to get a message telling me the course was closed.

Normanby lots of work been done on the fairways and around the course great stuff👍. Greens are in great condition. Spring and summer the course will look and play brilliant. Looking forward to playing at Normanby. Good work . ⛳️

Never fails to impress. Always a warm friendly welcome from all the staff, in the bar, pro shop or just passing by the greenkeeper’s shed.
Course is in brilliant conditions and the greens sneakily fast and true. Aways recommend this course and proven its worth with exceptional conditions for February.
A pint on the balcony overlooking the 18th is always a must too!

First time I played Normanby Hall and what a beautiful course and setting. Lots of wild life, babbling brooks and little streams. Its matured lovely seen as though it was only built in 1973. My only build would be to pre-warn people about some of the fairways. Looks like you are mid-changes on some of the back 9 and TBH, after driving they are pretty unplayable. We saw a lot of others just skipping the hole and picking up their ball to move on.

The greens we're really saturated with water, even those on a higher level we're sodden which meant everything was really unpredictable.

But all in all we had a great time, even if we had to beg for a pint at 3:58pm lol. But great time all in all.

Some winter greens which were bad.
Some excellent challenging holes
Great facilities/clubhouse
Good layout and well drained/dry for time of year

Overall really enjoyed my round and will play there again

Attractive holes and a lovely course, not in A1 condition but well worth a visit

I booked on the Golf Now app 1Golfer £9 which at the time thought it was a steal !!! How wrong was I !! I turned up 10 mins before my Tee time went into the Pro shop and was told I’d booked in with a party of 3 to make up a 4 ball ??? When on the booking it clearly stated 1Golfer . The Pro in the shop said it was ok to play on my own as it wasn’t that busy . Which was a total lie . Got to the 1st tee and tee’d off at my set time . There was a 2 ball in front which I caught up on the 3rd and I asked if I could join in with them which they kindly accepted. Proceeded along with the said 2 golfers which 1was a member . Got to the 5th hole and it just looked like a free for all Golf course !!! The fairways 4/5 of the holes was in absolute terrible condition with large sections cut out of the fairways leaving just bare mud . Absolute shocking for a Golf course that was so good last time I visited a couple of years ago . The amount of people on the course was an absolute joke . Obviously no tee times were adhered too because of the wait times on the tees . The straw that broke the camels back shall we say was a 17 minute wait on one tee !!!!!!!!!!! I left after only playing 6 holes in total disbelief!! This is such a shame because it does have the potential to be a really good course . I would have much rather spent £9 down the range if I’m honest and WILL NOT be returning any time soon . Please if your a half decent golfer don’t waste your time or money . Oh and I know it’s a municipal course but there are levels !!!

Every year I make time to play Normanby in the hope that I might this time get one over the course and make my handicap. This time I didn’t again.
But I will be back as the challenge is too good to pass up.

Green and fairways kept in excellent condition , some interesting challenges, I seemed to like visiting the bunkers this time LOL
