Enjoyed our round here, the greens were true but maybe a little slow but overall course was in good condition. Play was a little slow as there were a few groups of what looked like new golfers who didn’t seem aware of the need to let us through. Can’t hold this against the course.

Not the best stocked pro shop but the pro and the lady behind the bar couldn’t be friendlier and were very accommodating.

Will play again

Played here for the first time after it had been recommended to me.

Really happy to play it, challenging course that has to be shown respect and a bit of thought used. Greens ran true and were in decent nick.

Only issue is pace of play, with the layout you are teeing off over greens and other tee boxes. A few times there were 3 groups on one tee box. Think it could be a real issue at busy times.

I’d heard that Normanby was a good course but was always a bit sceptical with it being a municipal course. However I was surprised by it, it was in good condition to say what bad weather we had suffered. Full greens which were in great condition for time of year and the weather. The course was full of interesting holes which took some thought.

Thoroughly enjoyed our round and will be back, hopefully when the clubhouse is open.

I have played bondhay several times and always found it to be an interesting and challenging course. Fairways and greens were in fantastic condition, however the decision to not maintain the bunkers and let them become a wet mass of unraked wet sand and weeds is disappointing. They were still technically in play but it was impossible to play proper bunker shots around the green.

Still enjoyed the round but this issue did affect it. Stayed for a drink and some food after, this was very nice and served observing COVID protocol. Friendly staff as always.

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.

Played here a couple of years ago but now it’s all changed. You can see the work they are trying to do and it could be a good course.

However in its present guise this course is a complete mish mash and not that enjoyable. The lack of any par 5’s take something away from the course. No hole number markers or easily visual yardage markers make it difficult to follows. Lack of bins and ball cleaners needs to be addressed.

All in all there are a lot better local courses to play for the same if not less money.
