Great to be back

First game back after Lockdown, thoroughly enjoyable 4 ball. Second time playing here, some minor changes with the trees all cut back on the 18th but this is a really good course with some open fairways for those who like to hit a long drive. Some tricky greens with challenging flag positions, greens in good shape. I played poorly but who cares!

Only 9 holes

Don't be deceived it's only 9 holes played twice from two different tee positions so the card makes it appear your playing 18 different holes but that's not the case

Quality

Great hospitality , the course was excellent on a very hot day the greens I hit which wasn’t many held lovely. The fairways had a true bounce and both myself and my son played under our handicap.Hopitality in the bar and restaurant was second to none. Thanks all looking forward to playing again.

Great little 9 hole

This is a great little course. It’s worth noting this isn’t a typical golf ‘CLUB’. There is no pro shop or reception per se etc however there is a bar and you can have a drink Beforehand.

I think £10 for 9 holes is absolutely perfect for a mid week ‘knock’.

The holes themselves are great and there’re a couple of longer holes which offer more of a challenge.

It’s not the easiest to navigate at first, there are several tee off locations are part of the quirky ‘18 hole’ offering, in reality they don’t offer much difference, it’s more or less playing the same hole twice.

I’d highly recommend, if you understand and take it for what it is.

Stafford Castle Golf Club (9 holes 18 tees)

Prior to booking there was no clear information made available about the fact this is a 9 hole golf course with 18 tee locations. On arrival there is no pro shop or indication of where booked in players can acquire a score card, nor how the playing system works, it was only down to another player explaining this to us so thank you to them.

When out on the course however it is in great condition with great variance of hole difficulty and was a joy to play. Would recommend to others for a nice relaxing round of golf for sure. Will play again.

Excellent Value for Money

Played this course a few times and believe it is excellent value for money especially the twilight rates.

Challenging parkland course that has well maintained fairways but beware of the difficult to read and fast greens.

I hope to return soon.

Enjoyable Afternoon

Spent and enjoyable afternoon at the Castle, excellent value for money on twilight rates.

Only downside was being berated by a female golfer in a four ball who resembled Joe Exotic from Tiger King for ‘taking too many shots’.

This was aimed at my friend who was on their first round. I think she needs to remember that everyone has to start somewhere.

Needless to say we let them play through and thankfully didn’t upset her further for any unknown reason.

All in all, an enjoyable afternoon on a budget friendly and well maintained course.

Interesting course in good condition

Played a twilight round - managed to get round without rushing in about 3 hours. 9 greens with 18 tees but was straight forward to navigate and the tees didn’t seem to cause any bottlenecks at all - maybe when it’s busy. Other golfers playing were friendly and relaxed. Excellent value and a good challenge for 18-20 handicappers which we are. Would definitely play again.

Lovely course poor design

Honestly the course was lovely from the fairways to the views it was absolutely amazing but the only thing that has let me down was how complicated it was for you to find out where to tee off it was not greatly singed posted on where to go etc.

Decent

Quite surprised by this nine hole eighteen tee track, not to be underestimated by any means. The greens are good, fairways are well cut and for £10 on a twilight excellent vfm. Only gripe was the finishing hole, it was totally blocked out by the trees more or less an impossible shot. Overall though not bad at all and I shall return.
