Perfect for the time of year

I live local to this golf course and during winter season over the past couple of years I’d opt to play elsewhere as the conditions were better than Staining’s. After being away from golf for some time I have booked a tee time at Staining and was pleasantly surprised on its improvements, the course conditions has vastly improved, the fairways have firmed up and are withstanding continuous play throughout the week, the greens are always firm and considerably fast. The deep rough in areas can still be a bit soft under foot but that’s understandable for the time of year. I would consider it to be the best in the area for its price range, compared to other similarly priced courses. I will be happy to play here again in the future over close by courses as I feel this course has now excelled passed it’s rival courses.

Nice course

Well today was my first time playing and was greates by a nice chap at the golf shop and even though booked for walking they were able to offer us a golf cart which was a massive bonus! The course it self was in good condition there was some areas fairly boggy due to recent weather and we were advised of this aswell as some areas GUR, but overall was a good course and i will be back soon! Thanks

The worst I’ve ever played (close the course.)

Had a tee time for 17:08, play this course often enough and usually love playing it. Gentleman at the reception told me #7 was not to be played due to waterlogged areas. Well 6,7,11,12 and 14 were all pretty much underwater on the fairways and around the greens. Left frustrated that it was able to book under the condition, and the fact the gentleman at the reception told me it was only #7. A complete waste of money. I would like a refund. Close the course please so no one has to deal with this.

Slow play

Really enjoyed playing the course, there just isn’t enough space between each tee off times, so a big build up to groups slowed down play.

Yep, I’ve seen groups nearly come to blows over slow play. Definitely need to block off a tee time or two if several 3-4balls are following each other. Walked off twice due to ridiculously slow play.

Forgiving course

Lovely course for this time of year. A little wet underfoot, but expected. Very forgiving course, wide fairways, perfect for those starting out in golf.

Windy weather
Used cart

Forgiving course. Shame about the buggies.

The course is very well looked after, nice wide forgiving fairways and greens that roll true. Even though we'd recently had a good bit of rain the course looked to have drained very well. Only problem we had is one of our buggies broke down on the fourth hole. It was replaced by the man from the pro shop, but he gave us an electric buggy with only half charge which only lasted us until the 14th hole.

Nice course

Front 9 not the best due to the rain and work ongoing to maintain drainage by the grounds staff, still very playable but the back 9 were perfect, not a great choice of food in the bar but was nice and smart.

Great course

Recommend this course to everyone it's in great condition and the greens so fast and true.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, the only downside I found was some players not repairing the ball divots on the greens.
Certainly will be returning to play more golf there.
