Last minute cancellation

Hi

I am still waiting for a refund and a response to my last minute closure by the course and refund. Me and my playing partner travelled 50 miles each round trip to only hear the course had been closed. I am still waiting for a refund.

Back at the Vale

A very windy day and the course was slightly wet,, the course was playing very long into the wind especially. Tee boxes are in an awful condition and have nothing to tell you any info about the hole and on the front 9 no ball cleaning stations.

Bunkers need a good raking which would have helped them fluff up and losses the impact of the weather.

Overall a good course much more of a pleasure to play in the summer.

Disapointing

Last minute game due to closures at other courses, should really learn my lesson and never come back. Very poor layout minimal facilities. On the website it states some of the best maintained greens in the country which was not true at all. It looked at times that some of the members had been chipping on the greens very poor condition.

Disappointing

I have played here a few times and while it’s never been my favourite cause it’s normally value for money as it used to be cheap.

However the price has gone up and the greens were extremely poor uneven bouncy and the pace varied so much. The fairways had been cut but grass had been left which is shocking. I will not return again.

Delapre- it’s not bad

It’s not a bad public course and if I can find it for around £15-£17 it’s value for money but wouldn’t pay anymore than that for a lunch - early afternoon tee off. Generally in good conditions and some challenging holes however greens were quiet bumpy.

Beadlow Baroness Course

The Baroness course first 9 holes was in awful condition even a few members come over and said it was closed for repairs.

This obviously made our experience extremely negative the back 9 was in better condition and we even saw a few members playing it.

Such a shame as we will now not be returning.

Wet Day At Wavendon

A course in a nice setting which is a easy course to play however is just lacking in TLC to make it more appealing. With a bit more care on the fairways and greens as well as the bunkers I would return more often.

Farthingstone

Great course with some challenging holes played on the bank holiday and it was great value and very quiet the fairways were slightly long probably due to the wet weather. Only issue is there was no driving range to warm up in before starting the round.

Wavendon Going Downhill

Such a shame they are letting this course go downhill the maintenance of the course is now so ooor the semi rough is a foot high. The fairways and greens were slightly better but had loose clumps if cut grass on them.

It’s a real shame as I used to love playing this course unfortunately the rumour is that it will be turned into a housing estate and staff have been leaving.

Wavendon Poor Condition

Unfortunately it feels like this course has given up as rumours fly about it closing and more housing being built on this site.

The greens were long and unkept which made them very slow and bumpy.

The fairways were extremely long and the semi rough just off of the fairways was neatly unplayable.

I used to love playing this course with its lovely surroundings however the poor condition has really put me off.

I have played this course 40-50 times and have never been told no trollies on the day. the course is tiring at the best of times but having to carry made it even worse. The course was fairly dry so no idea why no trollies.

Love this course and would become a member if it had a driving range.
