Nice staff, poor course
This was the first course I ever played a round on, many years ago now but it was a far cry from the nice course it once was.
On arrival, there is no signage as to where the course entrance / clubhouse (or starter hut in this case) is, likewise on the course; the layout is easy to follow but even with temp. tees in place, there was nothing indicating which hole you're on. The 'fairways' were similar in condition to that of a muddy Sunday-league pitch, and the bunkers were all flooded with either water, leaves, or both, and the fallen branches all over the place made it feel like a stick-loving dogs paradise, which it partially is given it's mixed-use status for dog-walkers / parkgoers.
The saving grace for the course is the greens which were in fairly decent condition, despite a few blobs of mud scattered about.
Little seems to be done in terms of course maintenance which is shame given the amount of Investment that has gone into the adjacent health club, which are supposedly linked.
I can however credit the staff who were all friendly and helpful
Steal for under £15pp
Greens, fairways, tee box, all in fair condition given that it had been raining for the last few days. Greens actually quite quick! For less than £15 this round was very good value - as usual when you have somewhere that’s good value you also get slow play.
Would go back
Good course for price
Many dog walkers which will put you off your game. Well priced and nice layout despite challenging weather conditions
First round
All fine except starting my second 9 clashed with competition about to start. My tee-off time was 11.42 on 7/10.
Lots of unrepaired divots on greens, which I repaired.
David Lloyd - Hampton
Played the 9-hole to get out and have a quick run through. Was discouraged to see the fairways and greens in bad condition. There were weeds on every fairway, in some, albeit few cases no real grass present. Greens were a bit burnt in areas leading to patchy grass and unfortunately they were a bit bobbly and undulating. A fair few pitch marks not tended to and by the colour of the grass not recent either.
Staff were very friendly and the course was laid out well. Good challenging holes, would have been better if the maintenance was up to scratch.
No obvious off course amenities, it was across the path from a David Lloyd centre but no indication if the facilities there were for use.
It was a public course too. So dog walkers and people walking through some parts of the course.
Putting green was present but no flags in the holes so it wasn’t obvious if it was open for use or not.
Great informal 9 holes.

Fun challenging 9 holes
The course is fairly narrow but can be forgiving, it makes for a challenging 9 holes. Anything in the rough you can write off finding your ball, probably deserved though!
I was second out on the Sunday morning and it was a slow play on the course looking back, so get out as early as possible. But worth the play
Decent little course
Decent little course for the money. A bit wet but we have had a lot of rain lately.
Not a golfers course
Poor quality for the price, felt like a park course. Basically stuck a golf course next to a leisure centre as a license to print money. Ok for a quick 9 holes but don’t expect a decent course
Poorly managed
Paid and the course was closed but the no one at the golf course called to say. Travelled far to get there. Emailed and called and the club hasn't refunded.
Great 9 hole course
Beautiful course very well looked after. Fairways and greens were perfect on every hole
Terrible course
Don't waste your time coming here. Although it was a very cheap round, it was still not worth it.
Except for a mediocre putting green there are no warm-up facilities. However, the car park would have sufficed as it has as much grass on it as the fairways (though not the divots, thankfully for cars' suspensions).
Once I had negotiated the bare fairways the greens were little better. Old pitch marks, bare patches and crowned holes made putting a lottery.
Public walk on and play
It would appear that after booking a tee time and paying for the round that the general public would just turn up on the tee and tee off.
