Not great..

Took 3 hours to play 11 holes in a 2 ball. Greens were very poor, couldn’t tell them from the fairway, with bobbles all over.

Wouldn’t play here again unless I was really desperate!

Spoilt by feral kids harassing us!

The price was good at £11 per person, the course could be so much better with a little TLC the greens were very patchy, so it was hit and hope! The course is well set out and a challenge.
There were lots of people roaming the course with their dogs and not really caring that people were trying to play a round of golf! on the 16th hole 3 boys appeared and started asking us to have a go with our clubs, we politely said no and they then picked up our balls on the green an threw them and hurled abuse at us! At this stage we decided to end our round and leave.
The boys followed us to the clubhouse! we left promptly! A sad way to end the round!

Value for money, greens in poor condition.

Good value at £12th 18 holes, course in good condition apart from the greens that were being treated with dye type chemicals and no warnings displayed, Greens very uneven with patchy wear.

Just a great course

Played fairly regularly at Abbott's for many years, it has a nice layout with plenty of challenging holes without getting to silly for the average 'bogey' golfer. The course is usually kept in good order, and has reasonably priced green fees, especially during the week.
The staff in the clubhouse are very friendly and food & drinks are always available.

Requires TLC

Overall the course is ok, with some interesting holes. If it’s your first time or haven’t played for there for a long time, course layout is key on a number of holes.

The course is generally in good shape expect the greens need some TLC and some attention and the bunkers we found where in most part firm to hard.

A little bit of attention and the course would be worth recommending, but there are several nearby for similar prices that are in better condition.

Some recovery after lack of watering but some way to go.

Following the lack of watering of the greens in mid summer, there has been some improvement due to the recent rain. However, there does seem to be a lack of seeding taking place to repair the damage. Now would be the ideal time to do this with the weather still warm. The bunkers have improved due to some work on them.

Nice little course

Nice course. Some nice features, well established trees and a few water hazards added a challenge, and attract many a deer.

Nothing spectacular, but everything was nicely kept. Greens were a bit slow for the conditions and time of year and the bunkers are a bit light on sand. But for the cost I would definitely come back again.

Little bit disappointed there was no food being served on a Friday afternoon, but there weren’t many people on the course so probably fair enough.

Enjoyed my visit

Great value

This was a good round. The value for money £15 each for a 0813 tee time on a Friday is great value.
The course is nice and the holes are a challenge.

As from some of the other reviews the greens need a bit or work and care but didn’t affect our round.

Rest of the course was ok.
Could be a great course with some Money spent on it

Course and greens are in very poor condition

I’ve played this course many times in the past and always found it very good. But on Sunday the grass was uncut - even the Tee boxes were too long. The greens had sand all over them and lots of bare patches. Something has gone badly wrong at this course in the last month or so.

The course is good value for money, apart from the greens. It is a shame that they were so badly neglected in mid summer through lack of watering. This has resulted in them being bare and patchy now, with heavy sanding needed.
I would like to continue playing here but the irrigation must be improved.

Attention required

I have been playing this course for a long time, and has always been well kept and good value for £25/ 15 on a Friday but in the last 6 months it has deteriorated to a point where £15 is not value for money any more. Hope there are plans to bring it back to its former glory but it won’t be playable soon if the condition keeps getting worse on and around the greens.

Decent course let down by terrible green conditions

A good course design but the state of the greens right now is unplayable. Smoother grass/better conditions on the fairways vs the greens

We have been playing at Stapleford Abbots weekly this summer. The greens have been in good condition and it has been excellent value for money. However, in the past few weeks the greens and the fringes have deteriorated and in places are now badly cracked. They need to be more regularly watered.
