Nice 9 Holes. Not very welcoming.
Shame only 9 holes. Course fine but walk way to 1st tee like a building site, lots of loose grass on fairways etc... Didnt feel wlecomed by staff or greenkeeper type staff. Other players friendly tho! Woudnt rush back unless a very cheap deal to be had.
Nice surprise
Played course early March
Course very playable
No standing water
Greens really good
Only downside, litter all over the place.
Buyer beware - 9 holes only - the owner doesn't think it's his problem
Go on golfnow, click on the course, and it describes itself as 18 holes, has par info for 18 holes and until you receive a confirmation email, there is nothing to indicate that you are booking 9 holes. When you see a list of available tee times for a day and then if you take the trouble (though because of the above, you might not think you need to do so) to filter '18' holes, the 'hotdeal' remains, available to book. So you book in in good faith and probably dont pay much attention to the confirmation email which says 9 holes. Fair play to golfnow who promptly refunded the hot deal credits and remarked that hotdeals should really only be 18 holes.. Terrible attitude from the owner who was not interested how his course was being misrepresented and wanted to charge us again if going round twice. Even if the fault lies with golfnow (they said they'd look into altering the course info and filter bug), the owner should be the one to take it up with them, not expect a customer to have to plead their case, leave disappointed and bear the cost of the mistake. It would have been simple to just believe what the customer was saying, say crack on and play 18 ( it wasnt busy) and I'll make sure that golfnow sort the issue. I'm sure he'll not care that I wont be returning. He suggested I leave a review.
Slow play
Booked a 7am tee off time to be told it wasn't open until 8? Wandered down to first hole to be confronted by a woman who was obviously high as a kite pulling her shopping trolley across the fairway.. strange! Held up on every hole by green keepers. Course was in immaculate condition. I played some awful golf but course was great.
First timer
Really enjoyed it. For Someone who’s only recently took up golf I really enjoyed it
Really good golf course
9 holes to the quality & standard of an 18. Facilities such as range, putting green & practise area surpass many 18 hole courses by far!
Great course
Other than it being really busy (understandable as it was the 2nd back to being allowed to play golf), the course was great and in fantastic condition.
Great return to golf
Great condition, lovely true greens, friendly welcome- all good as the first golf since lockdown!
Nice Course, Staff So So
I'm never one to leave a review but felt the need to do so for the benefit of the club.
It was my 1st time visiting the course & looking forward to trying somewhere new. The course was good & well maintained with the uphill Par 3 a highlight but the interactions with the member of staff I believe to be called Paul from discussions with other customers left alot to be desired.
Met with disparaging glances from the bar I approached the Pro Shop to pay for my round. Not really greeted or had any desire to converse. Asked if any pens/pencils were available for me to buy as I had forgotten mine, told they were not giving them out. Asked if I could buy one of the sharpies, met with "Its a quid" with a your inconveniencing me now tone. Paid for my sharpie & began my round.
Returned to the clubhouse for a pint afterwards, similar level of interaction when asking for a pint of cider, a simple request you would think. Not told how much & card machine thrust into my general path without as much as a thank you.
I get the feeling this is a tight knit club with not much like for "newbies" which is fine & I appreciate these people are the clubs bread & butter so to speak but compared to other clubs I have been to in the area, the atmosphere is not one I would call welcoming & makes me think twice about revisiting what is a good challenging course to play.
Maybe I caught Paul on a bad day, who knows, but I have always had a leave your problems at the door attitude to work & I suggest he does the same...He might even enjoy it!
Truly a shame as the course is very local to me & great to play but I think I will be looking elsewhere for my next round.
Great test
I have played Waterfront several times and this is a great little course. It may only be a 9 hole course but it’s well kept and a real test off the tee on many holes. The greens are always in good condition and are up there amongst the best in the area.
It’s a very sociable and welcoming club house with good food available. With the driving range proving a good facility to warm up before your round.
Great little course
Great little course in fantastic condition. Bit on the pricy side for 9 holes. But apart from that excellent.
Tw!ts
Used to pay roughly £14 for 18 holes before this virus n now everyone’s allowed to play again hiked prices to £30 for just 9 holes absolute scum bags hope everyone remembers when it’s all over
Our golf now prices aren’t controlled by us for the hot deals which is probably where you got the £12 came from.
Also, the £30 for 9 holes was to make people not book a time online so we could give priority to our loyal members who have all stuck with us through these testing times, and instead of being ‘scumbags’ we needed to give back to them for their loyalty. We were only taking visitor bookings over the phone and on the day of play in order to give members maximum priority and then selling off the very little amount of spare tee times.
I suggest you get your facts right before leaving comments like this. It’s now £15 for 9 holes which is well worth it obviously shown from our full time sheet every single day with members and visitors.
And just for record last time I played it in September I payed £12 for 18!
I’ve played waterfront many times and always paid £14 on either golf now or teeofftimes for £18 holes n that’s probably all it’s worth and when I say it was put up to £30 for 9 holes that’s what it was advertised at on golf now so who’s telling lies you or Golf now or and by the way ever since I wrote this review all waterfront tee times have been taken off golf now !!
Hi, I work at waterfront golf and I can’t believe what I’m reading from your review, firstly, it’s never been £14 for 18 holes as for our course it would be a travesty to give it away that cheap. Also, we completely filled our tee sheet for the past 2 weeks coming out of lockdown, with visitors practically fighting over tee times at £15 EACH for 9 holes, not £30 like you quoted. We invested in new rakes and loads of protective equipment to make the experience as safe as possible for our players and staff which has to be covered. Leaving reviews like this is hurtful to a local business just trying to get out of this ordeal and providing an excellent service to our members and visitors. We hope you understand our frustration at comments like this when the facts aren’t even correct, hopefully you change your review

Yes the owner does care yes the owner had made golf now aware on many occasions yes you were aware that you had booked only 9 holes and you tried to chastise and bully a 14 year old work experience boy who calmly asked to see your confirmation email.
Who gets 18 holes round a perfectly manicured golf course for 10 or 12 quid or whatever you paid.
Enjoyed reading your review and glad you won’t be returning.
