Shame about the Pace of play

The two courses here are both well worth playing although they are both challenging for average players
It is not local for us so we only play there once a year but is is worth the drive.
Our game this week was very disappointing, the course was in excellent condition but the pace of play was really bad at over 5 hours and on 2 occasions we had 4 groups playing or waiting on the hole.
Such a shame as it was not the sort of day you wanted to stand around waiting.

Nice to be back at Hellidon Lakes

I have not played at Hellidon Lakes for over a year, it is usually in good condition but you don't know until you play.
Well, in addition to it being a nice day for golf I have to say that the course is in excellent condition.
The Pro shop was not open and we checked in at hotel reception. There are a few layout changes since we last played which are not posted but they may be regarded as improvements by many.
The rolling hills make this quite physically challenging for older players and anyone with disabilities and although buggies are available driving them needs close attention.
This has got to be regarded as one of the best courses in the area with a challenging layout and a fantastic location at a very reasonable price

First round this year

The course was in good condition
The bunkers were patchy some were ok most need more sand and the weeds removed
Some heavy traffice areas need to recover winter damage but this doesn't affect play
The Pro shop are always helpful

Our round was very enjoyable

Winter conditions

This is a great layout and a beautiful area to play a round of golf
The weather was dry but cold and windy which made it a challenge in it's self. The course was very wet and muddy in some places and the greens had been heavily treated earlier that week so putting was understandably difficult
However, we were there for the opportunity to play on this outstanding course and play as well as we could despite the conditions and it was a very enjoyable day.

Great to be out again

Not the most challenging course but great for a golf game workout.
The fairways are generous but the greens are sometimes small and mostly quite tricky.
At this time the greens were not in the best condition, probably due partly to the time of year and the testing weather conditions in recent weeks.
The staff are very helpful and the club's approach to Covid seems to be working well.

Best kept secret

This is a testing golf course set in one of the most stunning areas of Northamptonshire countryside
The layout will test players of all handicaps physically and mentally but it is also very enjoyable for those who just want to get away from it all.
Although golfing facilities are limited in this pandemic period the course is very well presented and will not disappoint

Golf during Covid-19

This course is always worth playing, it has some very interesting and challenging golf holes.
Located deep in the Northamptonshire countryside, it certainly gets you away from it all.
Bare in mind we played in the middle of the Corvid-19 pandemic. The fairways were excellent the greens and bunkers mostly ok, it was a very hot and dry time of the year.
Great for a casual knock about in beautiful countryside all facilities and course presentaion are very average but GBP 20 a round, well worth a visit.
