Great winter course

Course in amazing condition for the time of year and all of the rain we've had. Greens immaculate, normal tees.
Great range with TopTracer in every bay.
Looks like lots of improvements coming as well by the looks of it.
Will definitely play again

Wettest course I’ve ever played but greens fine

I’m sure most non links courses are damp but I’ve never know a wetter course in my life than this. Not sure how it was even open.

Greens were surprisingly ok given how soggy the rest of the course was.

One to visit again in summer me thinks as the layout etc was pretty good.

Perfect winter golf

With all greens in use and fairways in play, Hart Common really is one of the best courses for winter golf. The greens were in great nick as usual and for value for money, it really can’t be beaten.

Best Winter Course I have played for a long time

We have played this course several times and love it. I have never played it in the winter.

So impressed with how well the course held up, no temp greens or tee boxes. Fairways all top noch,

Best winter track in a long time. No water holding, greens still fast and in really good condition.

Well done all involved at this club. 🙌🏼

Very nice greens

Me and a friend played here, for something different and it was a very nice course abit wet due to the down pour we have had for the past week but it was open and wasnt horrific i lost one ball in the fairway due to it being plugged but thats alot better than my home course lol, and the greens was fantastic here, considering the rain, ran true and fast for the conditions, would love to come back in summer.

Thanks

Great value for money

Not played here for year but was very impressed,the course is in fantastic condition, green staff working hard keeping the course in good condition plus remote mowers all over the course.greens were nice and fairways.only negative the tee boxes but it it late in the year and seen alot of golf and few pitch marks not repaired by selfish golfers but that's by not fault of the course.great value and this time of year will take some beating for £16.99 and don't see that unless being signed in as a guest at a nice course.grewt track and tough back closing 3holes would recommend buggys if u Wana pay the extra.

Excellent course for the price

We had read good reviews of the course and that it offered great value for money. We arrived on Monday not too sure how the conditions would be with the recent wet weather. We needn't have worried. Apart from a few muddy spots in dips and the rough, both the fairways and greens were in fantastic condition. The course is a good test with some very challenging holes, especially if windy. We will definitely be back. I must say a big thanks to the staff who helped me after I became rather unwell, there is no way I could have walked back to the pro shop. Feeling a lot better now and just waiting for blood results

Great course

Well maintained with generally wide fairways and tricky greens. Greens fairly quick and in very good condition. Interesting holes needing some thought at times. An enjoyable round.

Great Course but extremely SLOW PLAY !

We have played this course in the past and never experienced such slow play. On previous occasions it took 4hrs for a 4 ball (which is slow but manageable).

On this day it took 5.5 hrs for 4 ball and we were waiting on every tee. A real shame as it's a great course but speaking to members, they informed us that it's always slow, even more so on weekends !

The club should do something about it, possibly a bigger gap between tee times or marshals to ensure groups are keeping up a good pace.

Outstanding Course for the Money

Played 18 holes today. Pace of play was quite slow as a course of this standard at this price (£22), will always be busy. Didn’t mind the slow pace though as the course overall was immaculate. Tee boxes probably the only element that needs work. Fairways outstanding (helped by the little robot mowers you see everywhere) and the greens were like carpet. Lightning fast so would take several rounds to get use to if you are not use to it.
Brilliant overall.

Review from Phil (30 Y.0)

Played this course twice last week and had a great time both rounds. Course is in great condition give or take one or two tee boxes but other than that no complaints what so ever. Good value for money and I’m sure I will be back again soon.

Value for money.

Probably the best value for money course in the North West. I've played at courses that cost 5 to 6 times more and not as good as Hart Common. Actually played it sensibly (kept the driver in the bag) and had birdie putts on 6 of the 1st 7 holes, 3 putted 3 of them but that wasn't the greens fault.
