Worth the drive

Very friendly , helpful and informative pro shop staff. Explained why we started on 6th tee . No issue . Enjoyed the round , and getting to see a new course . Even though it was about 89 min drive for me.
Stunning views, was dry but very windy on top of hill/dunes but that adds to the challenge . Course good for time of year. Always think every course could add a few extra ‘next tee’ markers for visitors , but was able to find our way OK. was asked a few times for directions by other visitors. Liked the mix of parkland and links. Would like to play again in summer . Only complaint is pricing £30 ok but £5 cheaper if I could have arranged a fourball, bit mean. Club house not open for a beverage after round but understandable on quiet Monday afternoon.

Grand wee course

GranD wee course for a change , nice and flat an easy walk . Played a few times now, Course conditions always seem good no matter the weather . But would say the greens are poor and lose the course a star

Excellent , but…

1st time playing and I hope to play again really enjoyed. Quite hilly , mostly like a parkland course , but ground almost like a links course , hard and very short grass . Condition great , greens good.
Pro shop was closed, Had to ask around where to go who to see, went to bar and paid bar staff money, a little less than booked price , no receipt .

Pet hate of mine is poor signage , we had to ask where the 1st tee was also had to ask for fifth and a few other times it wasn’t clear where to go. ,signs on the actual tee boxes are good with hole map, No map on card . Everyone we asked were very helpful, but a next tee box arrow would help visitors a lot.

If closer to me I’d play several Tim’s a year , good value. But still worth an hours drive

Remains a good course

Think I’ve reviewed before , still like course. Nice and flat , not the hardest parkland, but that suits me. Little more expensive than before but not long after lockdown so thats OK.
Better condition than some more expensive courses , recommended

Good winter golf

Purposely picked a fair weather day for last round of the year. It has been wet recently, was really very impressed with course conditions for time of year played much more prestigious courses at similar time of year and Masserene was better than most. Only gripe was greens were poor, very uneven and bobbly , effected score on several holes. However can’t complain for great price we got round for. Will be back in summer

Great greens , course good for time of year

2nd time playing course, very impressed with greens. Rest of course good too for a parkland in mid November.. thought the paths could do with some work as badly chewed up and muddy/ slippy. As always my grip of poor signage for next tee box applies but same complaint of most courses. Average marks for Staff and amenities only because pro shop / bar etc closed due to COVID. Overall happy

Surprisingly Hilly

Got a good hot deal price and happy weather was good for November in Northern Ireland. Disappointed 1st 4 holes closed , no mention of this , no apology or alternative mentioned by pro shop. Also off mats on most hole even though tee boxed looked in perfect condition, had to hunt for tee matts several times. course was a challenge and surprisingly hilly ,but some great views also.Usual gripe of terrible signage, how hard is it for clubs to have a next hole arrow, especially at the 9th , there is a tenth hole sign but only after you’ve went under a tunnel . Overall enjoyable ( even though we played terrible)

Nice course

Got a hot deal and played with my father , there’s been some heavy rain recently, and I had been told the course suffers badly when wet, but tbh course was fine, 2 or 3 soft parts. Greens good and fast , fairways freshly cut. No issues will play again. There’s a few hills .

Nice flat course, and not too hard

1st time here, as a high handicapper heard this was wasn’t too hard a course . It wasn’t but not easy either, plenty of bunkers. Course in good condition for Northern Ireland in mid October. Staff very helpful.. Not expensive but played better courses for same money on GolfNow. Would play again.

Grea value but don’t bother with play and eat deal on here

Think I’ve reviewed before and would be the same , grand course for the money. 3 or us played today for £11+£1 bookings no feel very reasonable. 2 of us booked meal with the golf for £20+£1 , a £9 difference. Still very reasonable ,until we’re ordering and are told to order of the lunch menu , £6 . Or they would take £6 of a full price main? Again we paid £9. There was a walk up offer of 2x courses for £10
So good course, good value, food ok but don’t book on here 1st !!

1st time , hope to be back

Weather was showery unfortunately but me and partner headed out. Lovely course , I'm a hacker but really enjoyed, one of best I've played on a Par with Lisburn I thought, it of a shame you have to cross a busy road twice , and are a few pylons that could maybe be disguised ? But overall great course great condition Good value

Great challenging course

Think,this is 4th time I’ve played here, 1st this year. Me and friend had course entirely to ourselves. Found while course well presented. 9 holes but each hole has 2 tee boxes so plays slightly different on the 2nd lap, staff friendly and great value. Wish I lived closer and I’d play a lot more often.

Great value

Very happy with course conditions for price to play. its a complaint about many courses but why can’t clubs provide a map of holes on card and have simple signs to the next tee ??

Nice course

Played with my father. Almost no one else on course , even though we’re in a heatwave with a hosepipe ban the course was in good condition. I’m a high 20’s handicapper the 1st 6 holes (+10-15) , are nice and wide open and I scored well, the last 3 are a lot trickier,. Staff friendly and good value , course is a little out of the way , but a nice drive.
Hope to be back sometime.

Not as hard as I'd heard

I'm not a great golfer so had avoided Hollywood in the pas as id heard it was very hard, but i couldn't avoid when the great price on tee off times came up. Course was in great condition for time of year , staff couldn't have been more helpful. And I managed to get a few pars , so all good.
