Shocking, not to be returned

● course shocking
● played this course once before and was bad then but we thought we should give it a 2nd chance. Not getting a 3rd
● couldn't get tee's in mats
● greens full of holes and not replaced pitch marks and not cut same cut as the fairways
● overpriced (27.00 pp)
● slow play waiting on every hole
● my play partner was close to getting hit from the group behind twice, because they was too impatient when we couldn't go any faster due to group infront.
● playing partner charged for using mats was ask by pro shop to leave 20.00!!

If you want to play an overpriced, poor looked after golf course that just cares about money then go to shaw hill you will be disappointed!

Wouldn't recommend it in the winter

I understand changes need to be made at winter but to charge £25 when you have to play off mats in the fairway and tee off from poor mats like at a par 3 is really poor. This wasn't the same at other courses we have played recently. Considering there hasn't been lots of rain recently the course was extremely boggy in places and some of the greens (18th in particular) were poor for the price. The worst of it you had to pay £2 each for the mats to protect their course, which we didn't get at all especially when they're charging £25 for a course that's not in great condition anyway in places, so left a sour taste. Might try again in the summer but never again at any other time of the year. Real shame.

Course condition

First time playing Shaw hill today. Extremely disappointed. I know there has been some wet weather recently, but the drainage on the fairways and the greens is none existent here. Every green was sodden with water, every fairway, every bit of the course was under water, not what i expected from a course of this standard. Members must be fuming with the conditions. I will come back to play in the summer months and hope it improves.

Really slow play ahead of me for the back 9 - caused by a slow 4-ball that didn’t let two 2-balls and myself through really affected play which was a shame. Waiting up to 15-20 mins to tee off on the last few holes.

Last visit to shaw hill

Paid £35 for this round and must say the course isn’t looking good. £20 per round would of been more realistic. The tee areas were in need of some TLC and the course wasn’t well maintained. We haven’t played it for a while and won’t be playing again unless it’s £25 or less..

Fantastic Course

Shaw Hill is a fantastic tactical course where you have to choose you're clubs and shots wisely to avoid hazards.

It was my first time playing the course and it was throughly enjoyable and I look forward to playing it again in the near future.

Every hole has its own character which made the whole round interesting and fun.

Poor greens and slow pace of play

Hadn’t played Shaw Hill for over 20 years and I have to say I was disappointed. The greens were rock hard with bare patches all over. It took 4 and a 1/2 hours to play the round as a two ball (we had to wait on every shot from the 4th tee). Toilet facilities on the course consisted of a portaloo which in this day and age is unacceptable. There are also no refreshments available on the course.

Off course facilities were ok considering the restrictions due to COVID-19.
