Ruddington Grange Golf Club
Played On 06/08/2021Pretty but slow
Great layout, pleasing to the eye and clever in places. We had a hit deal Tuesday afternoon and landed behind a ladies comp. In fairness as a 2 ball following a 4 we were always going to be waiting. Adjusting speed down was tricky but not the courses fault. The greens however needed a cut or an iron, they were true, pretty but good grief sloooow, maybe this is how they like them but odd all the same. A little high rough in parts keeps you honest but all round a pleasure and a nonsense bargain to boot. Thanks to the club for today.

OK, I appreciate the phrase hidden gem is a little over used but on a bright sunny October day to find this little track was a real joy. Not long but quite clever with a fair number of great risk reward opportunities, cunning dog legs and you will need to move the ball both ways if you are going to score low. Greens were in great shape... soft but true and the members have clearly got to grips with repairing pitch marks which is also nice. Can't wait to come back... now I know where to hit it! Well done Birstall.
Kibworth Golf Club
Played On 09/13/2020Risk and reward?
The track is great. Not a poor hole to be found and some great risk and reward chances. Greens on good form with a true roll although nowhere near the pace of the practice area. After a short delay, explained away as the fault of golf now we were on our way. As the 1st is a short par 4 we were permitted to tee off when the green cleared a good plan. Alas it didnt take long for our 4 ball to be halted behind the group ahead. We were to remain unfortunately trudging along behind the group ahead. It was still a positive experience though and we all know members that are not in any hurry don't we?
I was however quite astonished to observe and hear the afternoon beer garden carnage as we attempted to complete the 9th. A little too many loud drinkers, a little too packed in to their beer garden and with no regard for anyone on the course. I would have thought that only a stones throw from Leicester a little more social distancing might have been in evidence. For this reason we didnt stay for any hospitality.
So, in summary, the golf is great, worth the trip. Steer clear of the clubhouse.

Clever Braid track, great variety and some good risk and reward challenges. In good shape considering the weather, sea mist and fresh air.. what's not to like, very nice people too recommend a visit.

Clever track with more than a few risk and reward challenges. Greens were in good shape, true roll if a bit slow. Placing right now as some fairways seem to have lost their grass but to be honest, not too much of an issue. Staff were great and we were round in just over 3 hours. Typical Braid track, think before you hit it. Very much worth the trip to SKEGVEGAS. I will be back.
Thanks so much.

Just a great round again at this gem of a track. Such a fantastic layout with some really interesting holes... really makes you think too. Greens shaping up well for the summer so I will be back very soon .
