Barnard Castle Golf Club
Played On 11/07/2023Dreadful
I can't comment on all of the course, as half of it was closed, however, the holes which were open were pretty much waterlogged. Only a few greens weren't temporary, fairways were soaked and covered in debris, so led to losing balls even when hit straight. All in all, this course should not have been open, and even though I was informed of holes being shut, I was not told the rest of the course was so badly altered.
Information on the status of courses need to be communicated on the app, via the course officials, prior to people booking.
Bishop Auckland Golf Club
Played On 10/17/2023Lovely course and in great condition
This is my second time playing at this course and my opinion hasn't changed from the first time I was here. The course is beautiful and in great condition, even considering the bad weather we've had recently. The views on nearly all the holes are stunning.
South Moor Golf Club
Played On 10/14/2023Nice layout but poor condition
The course is nicely set on the moorland with very pretty views and nicely kept greens. Unfortunately, the course was pretty much waterlogged on nearly every fairway. In places it was like hitting off of rice pudding with grass on. There was some new drainage channels cut, but I doubt this is going to make as much of a difference as is needed for the course to be properly playable. Also, as is the case with so many courses, the pace of play was unacceptably slow.

Played On 09/06/2023Lovely course
My first, but hopefully not my last, time playing this course. It's extremely well kept, with both fairways and greens in fantastic condition. The views of the surrounding countryside also make this a visual treat.
Definitely recommended.
Brancepeth Castle Golf Club
Played On 08/24/2023Fabulous course
This is one of the best courses I've played in recent years. The setting is stunning and the course layout fantastic (but it's not what I'd call one for high handicappers). Even though we had a massive downpour for hours before the round, the condition and playability of the course was still great, with the greens a real standout.
This is a somewhere I'll definitely be visiting again.
Durham City Golf Club
Played On 08/16/2023Well kept and interesting course
The layout of the course was very nice. Not too long, so suitable for a good range of players. The greens were particularly good.
Definitely recommended.
Royston Golf Club
Played On 05/16/2023Great tee boxes and greens, shame about everything else.
First of all the plus points. The tee boxes and greens were as good as I've seen them on this course. Extremely well maintained.
Now the negatives. The rest of the course was a shambles. Fairways, if you could call them that, with weeds and wild flowers growing everywhere. More like an 'unfair way'. Then the bunkers, which ranged in consistency from a kiddies sandpit to 'oh, are we supposed to have sand in this hole in the ground'. Then we come to the the worst aspect, pace of play. Having to wait on single player, who took between 3 to 5 minutes just to decide on what club to use, and then duffed the shot anyway. People need to understand that there's a courtesy that needs to be applied when you play golf, such as, take as long as you like, just don't make others take as long as you like.
Mount Pleasant Golf Club
Played On 02/09/2023Great winter condition
Course is in fantastic condition considering the time of year. The greens were excellent and pretty quick, which is surprising for winter. Unfortunately, as is the case with too many courses, the pace of play could be better, but at least thet did let faster players through, eventually.
Overall though, a very enjoyable round for the first round of the year.
Mount Pleasant Golf Club
Played On 10/18/2022Nice course, shame about the pace of play.
The weather was lovely, the course was in excellent condition and it was my first time playing at Mount Pleasant. For the first few holes it was great, but yet again the plague of inconsiderate slow players raised its head. It is such a pity that so little is done to eradicate this from golf courses everywhere.
Anyway, rant over, the course was very nice, well presented and the greens in particular in excellent condition.
I would definitely recommend the course.
The Millbrook Golf Club
Played On 07/10/2021Best course I've played in the last year
This is a quirky but beautiful course. It's in great condition with the greens deserving a special mention.
It's a lovely piece of land with a lot of very memorable holes in an excellent layout.
You will need to play it more than once though in order to get used to the lay of the land, but that's something I'll look forward to, hopefully soon.
Whipsnade Park Golf Club
Played On 06/05/2021Hidden gem
Didn't know what to expect from this course, but wanted to try somewhere new.
It was a little difficult to find initially due my cars satnav but I got there eventually.
I was very impressed at both the location and quality of the layout and really enjoyed my round. This is a hidden gem of a course. Staff were friendly and helpful and the course was in good condition, especially the greens.
I'll look forward to playing there again.
Cheshunt Park Golf Centre
Played On 08/08/2020Nice course but suffering from the heat
unfortunately the recent heatwave has burned out most of the fairways, and i have no doubt the local authorities won't allow golf courses to water them. The greens however were in excellent condition yet again.
One aspect of this course that is exemplary is the etiquette of the golfers. As a single golfer it's uncommonly nice for 4 groups to allow me to play through, which greatly increases my enjoyment of the round.
Cheshunt Park Golf Centre
Played On 07/26/2020Nice course but dreadful pace of play
I really like the course and layout of Cheshunt, but it seems that since the easing of the lockdown, the pace of play at everywhere has gotten really bad. The round today was no exception, although a few groups did have the courtesy to let faster players through.
The condition of the course was pretty good, and the greens were lovely.
Knebworth Golf Club
Played On 07/11/2020Lovely course with superb greens
One of the best courses in Hertfordshire.
Having played here quite a few times before, I always look forward to a round on this track, and it as enjoyable as usual.
I was partnered with a couple of other guys and this meant that it suited the pace of play and enhanced the experience.
I'll look forward to the next time I play the course.
Nazeing Golf Club
Played On 07/10/2020Great course well maintained
this is the second time I've played here and enjoyed it as much as the first time.
The course is in excellent condition, especially the greens, which helped greatly with my lacklustre putting.
I partnered up with a couple of the members, who were extremely friendly and added to the experience.
I will definitely play here again.
Knebworth Golf Club
Played On 07/19/2020Lovely course
As usual, the course was in pretty good condition and the greens were excellent.
Unfortunately, as more people have started to play again after the lockdown, the ugly aspect of slow play has started to creep in again.
I was playing on my own and was let through by a courteous 3 ball, but the 4 ball in front of them refused to. I was eventually caught up by another single golfer, who had started 45 minutes behind me, and had also stopped for half an hour to have something to eat. I really wish people would learn to keep a decent pace of play.
That said, it's always nice to play such a good course.
Cheshunt Park Golf Centre
Played On 06/13/2020Better luck next time
This is the second time I've played here in the space of 4 days, and the experience was so much better than the last time. My first outing led me to give up after 14 holes due to the incredibly slow play. To be honest I felt more sorry for the pro golfer I let through, but gave up after 9 holes. 4 hours for 14 holes is terrible.
My second go was so much better. It's a really nice golf course and I like the layout, but what really impressed me was the exceptional etiquette of the 3 four balls that allowed me to play through. I wish more people were this courteous, it'd make the game so much better for everyone. I finished my round in less than 3 hours and reckon I cost each of the guys who let me past no more than 3 to 5 minutes wait.
All in all, I had an excellent days golf, and will definitely play the course again.
Cheshunt Park Golf Centre
Played On 06/09/2020Nice course pitty about the pace of play
This was the first time I had played the course and thought it was very nicely layed out and in good condition. Unfortunately, as is the case with so many courses, people who play slow don't have the decency to let quicker players through. It's a pity, since I had to cut the round short as the light was running out. I'll look to play again and hopefully complete the whole course.
Whitewebbs Golf Club
Played On 05/30/2020Nicely laid out course
Although the course only opened for the first time after the lockdown, it was in pretty good condition. The pace of play was excellent, which is not something that's as common as it should be. The course is layed out extremely well and has some really interesting holes.
Definitely will play it again.
Knebworth Golf Club
Played On 06/29/2019Nice course but poor etiquette
This is the first time I've played here since the lockdown. The course is very nice with some of the best greens in Hertfordshire.
Unfortunately the problem with slow play surfaced again. The three ball in front of me seemed to think taking five minutes each time they lost a ball was fine and they did it on virtually every hole. At no point did they ever consider letting anyone through even if they'd only hit it 30 yards off the tee.
I'll still play the course again and perhaps have a more reasonable pace of play.
