Bentham Golf Club
Played On 08/09/2023Outstanding natural use of land
Stunning views, superb mix of holes with dog legs, semi blind shots long and short using natural undulations.
Would play it every day if I could- superb value
Ashton & Lea Golf Club
Played On 04/04/2023Outstanding for the time of year
Given all the bad weather and courses shut. I was amazed when ringing up to find full tees, greens and no restrictions . Arrived to find the course in fantastic condition, well signed and little touches like divot bags, coloured flags and friendly members made it a superb experience for us both. We also played some decent golf even with the wind.
The course had a good mix of holes from the short par 3 6th to the challenging par 5 16th. A really well looked after course with smallish challenging greens. A good test for all abilities. Highly recommended

Played On 05/01/2022Top quality
Brilliant range of holes- uphill downhill dog legs set in stunning scenery.
Opportunities to open your shoulders but just as many where you have to think your way around especially 7-10.
Course in superb condition. Well worth a visit!

Played On 04/25/2021Decent track
Bit links you feel with undulating fairways. Plenty of trouble especially when playing into green very little maths in for error. Greens very good with plenty sand in deep bunkers( found plenty)
Overall quite flat but with nice mix of doglegs and definitely need to think your way around.
Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa - Championship Course
Played On 08/23/2020Challenging
Course held up well given amount of rain in previous few days. Greens slightly slower than expected. Good layout but quite long for average golfer. Tee boxes well looked after and flat. Greens true with plenty breaks. Need to make your score on front 9.
Lovely signature hole is par 3 14th- only 120 yards but over water to shallow two tier green with trees overhanging both sides.

Played On 08/20/2020Fabulous experience
Course in great condition despite the rain. Traditional links challenge on the front 9 with wind blowing off the sea. More parkland second 9. Fairways and tees well looked after, clear markers for distances on fairway and coloured flags to show front middle and back which for me is how all courses should do it. Greens a good speed and views on first 5 holes are spectacular. A true challenge in the wind but so enjoyable. Does feel like you could score really well on a calm day but how often does that happen on the seashore!
Haigh Woodland Park - Balcarres Course
Played On 08/08/2020Greens decent rest awful
Course has a great layout and greens were good flat and rolled well- it’s just a pity rest is not up to same standard. No one to meet you for early morning pre booked round. Tees uneven and blocks looked like they haven’t been moved since lockdown. Fairways long on most holes and rough like a big in nearly every hole. Huge swathes of mud where course obviously isn’t draining - looked like course vehicles been doing handbrake turns on 2 holes. Inconsistent around edge of greens, some bits hard and bare yet further round same green lush and green. It really could be a gem but lacks basic course management from staff.

Played On 07/24/2020Nice course still improving after covid lockdown
Super layout with a whole range of hole shapes hazards and challenges. Lots of different teeing grounds and flag positions make you think especially on shorter holes. Work still to be done on greens which were bobbly and a bit long. A round took 4hrs for our 4 ball but we were behind a society.
Gathurst Golf Club
Played On 07/18/2020Disappointed
Course has a great layout on front 9 but holes feel squashed together on back. Tee ground uneven and rough given how little golf recently. It was a competition day so challenging flag positions but greens at bottom of course messy, wet and slow. Standing water on at least 4 greens and water coming up under feet even at high point of course. Should be pristine condition but sadly not and still charging £27 for a twilight round. Expected better!
Kirkby Valley Golf Club
Played On 07/02/2020Becoming stunningly good
Course in excellent condition. Great layout with dog legs on a few holes and water in play on a couple of holes. A great but fair test of ability. ( I play off 18)Good to see continued development with addition of new bunkers and tees. Smooth greens and clear markers. Remodelled 8th and 9th greens bedding in well. New bunkers increase need for accuracy not length. Can’t wait to go back in a few weeks to see it maturing.

Played On 09/12/2020Fabulous golfing test
Superb condition a task course of 2 halves. Windy and links like opening 9 with rapid greens whilst back 9 has a mainly parkland feel. Paid £16 And at that it is outstanding value. Will be returning!
