Slaley Hall Priestman Course

A good test, not as difficult as The Hunting. Could not fault the condition of the course. The 16th is a bit of climb at the end of the round.

Great Day Out

Good valve for money with teeoff, too many people on the course but to be expected as a Hotel attached. Would definitely recommend and would play again.

Good course, nice location

i have played the Priestman once before, on a day when the Senior Tour were playing the Huntsman... cold, damp and windy from memory. Yesterday was the polar opposite - warm, sunny (but still breezy). The course was quite dry - great for hitting long bounding drives that carry for ages... but not so great on the 18th when my tee shot (probably best of the day) caught a bank and ran on into a pond near the green.
The greens were in good condition - fairly fast and the course was generally also well maintained.
The bar is expensive (£5 for a pint of lager!) but nice and comfortable
