Really great day at chilwell started off with a very friendly welcome at the proshop. We found the whole course in excellent condition..Tees fairways and greens were a credit to the green staff. Very flat course which made it a pleasure to play as it was quite warm when we played. The halfway house and the clubhouse were excellent and the staff were friendly. Brilliant value all round and will definitely return..

Having visited a few golf courses using the GolfNow app you know that not everywhere you go is going to tick every box but mapperley certainly ticks more boxes than most! We found the quality of the fairways and greens top notch and the overall layout and variety in the holes was excellent. The welcome from the pro in the shop was brilliant and the members were very friendly. The clubhouse was lovely and welcoming with an excellent choice of food with very friendly staff. Can honestly say if I lived closer I would be a member. Will definitely return!

We have played this course a few times and always found it a well presented layout. We found the tees fairways and greens in excellent condition. With the current Covid situation they have installed a ball retrieval system which is absolutely brilliant which not only ensures zero contact with the pin or cup but is very useful on wet days when the cup fills with water when you get your hand wet fetching your ball out of the hole! Sadly we weren’t able to use the clubhouse under current lockdown but hopefully in the future we’ll be back to use all of the great facilities at birstall.

Really enjoyed playing here today. Not visited allestree for a number of years and was unsure of how the conditions would be. The tees fairways and greens were in great condition although the greens were a little slow given the amount of rain they’ve had recently. The friendly reception at the shop was handled very well given the current situation.. Will definitely return in the future.

Found the lady in the shop very friendly and helpful and as we hadn’t visited Richmond Park before she handed us a very useful course planner. Found the overall layout of the course excellent however there were issues with some of the tees that were a bit unkempt and in need of some tlc. Found the fairways ok but the greens even though they looked good ran true but slow. The best feature we found of note were the trees on the course really framed the holes beautifully and you really had to be careful not to bring them into play as there were plenty of them !! The tee shot on the 18th is a huge test as the trees, and cross ditch are very imposing.especially as the captain’s charity fine involves pretty much every hazard going including the dreaded 3putt!!!!

Have visited this course a couple of times before and enjoy the layout very much. However I found the tees were a bit unkempt and needed some tlc. Fairways were lovely and greens looked great but rolled slow.. overall great value for money on GolfNow app. Off course facilities were disappointing as no food available as there was a wedding on the next day. Would come though.

I found the layout of the course fantastic with a great variety of holes with some wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Tees and fairways were great but I felt the greens didn’t really look as good as I hoped. They didn’t play too badly though.
I felt the day was spoiled however with the pace of play. There were quite a lot of players out on the course which is fair enough but the round took 5 and a quarter to play. Not enough done to marshal play.
We were also disappointed that no food was available in the clubhouse..we were told if we wanted to eat we could go to the hotel.
Wouldn’t let it put me off coming back though... hopefully it was just a slow day.

Found the tees,fairways and greens in good condition when we played and I’m sure it will get better as the season goes on with the right conditions.
The pro in the shop was very friendly and welcoming. However the bar staff member was a bit surly and needs to work on her customer care . Wouldn’t let it put me off coming back though. Overall good value for money.

After reading some of the recent reviews on Toft we decided to give it a whirl and we were so glad we did.
Wonderful variety of holes with big elevation changes and some very tricky undulating fairways and greens.
Fairways and greens have recently been worked on but I’m sure will be perfect once the season is in full swing . Overall a great variety of holes with some lovely views of the surrounding countryside.
The friendly staff and members made it a pleasure to visit and we’ll definitely return in the summer.

Thoroughly enjoyed playing staverton again yesterday. Tees and greens and fairways were in excellent condition for the time of the year. Pace of play was great considering the amount of 4 balls ahead of us. No issues there. We were however disappointed at the lack of food available in the clubhouse after playing. We were told they don’t serve food in the winter. Given the popularity of the course I find it difficult to believe there wouldn’t be the demand for even a basic selection of food.

The last time I visited farthingstone was over 10 years ago and I couldn’t remember too much about the course so when I saw it come up on GolfNow app I thought we’d give it a try. Given the fact it was a December day the quality of the tees and fairways were pretty good. Unfortunately the greens were a bit here and there and you could tell the long dry spells we’ve had during the summer have taken quite a toll. All things considered the £10 green fee was excellent value and I’m sure the greens will come back with time. Looking forward to coming back next spring/summer.

First time back at Hellidon since the summer. Found the course conditions ok for the time of the year. Quite soft in places but that’s winter golf for you... thoroughly enjoyed playing here again. On the downside found the bar expensive and service a bit slow. Wouldn’t let it put me off coming back though.

Good layout of holes with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside. Even though the par 3’s were not long the terrain and surrounding hazards made them quite tricky. Very challenging finishing holes that no doubt make it very tough on medal comps! All round very good value for money. Found the professional in the shop and the bar staff very friendly and will definitely return.

This golf course keeps you interested the whole way through your round. Great layout of holes that test all departments of your game. The views of the surrounding countryside are wonderful particularly on the opening holes. The condition of the tees, fairways and greens are a credit to the ground staff given the very dry periods this summer. The staff and members that we met were all very friendly and we’ll definitely be coming back... great value for money!

This golf course has a great selection of holes. It’s not until the 8th hole the difficulty level starts to ramp up so be on your game by then because the run of holes from 11 through to the end can play quite difficult if you’re not playing the ball into the right areas. We thought the overall condition of the course was ok but the greens were deceptively slow for this time of year and looked a bit tired and patchy in places which is understandable given the heatwave this year. The staff in the pro shop and bar were helpful and friendly. Looking forward to coming back.
