I booked Atherstone because my mate told me he was keen to play it. I got what I thought was a Hot Deal, £19 for 18 holes! What I didn’t know was that 6 holes on the course were closed for maintenance.
Now I know it’s possible to play some holes twice but I’m not sure that is a fair response!
The other issues with the course were how frozen the greens were which made it impossible to play directly on to them which makes the game ridiculous and also the volume of leaves in ditches around the course. I know all mature courses suffer with leaf fall but most courses make an effort to clear them so that it is possible to find your ball if you inadvertently hit into a ditch. Overall a disappointing outing but I’d like to try it again later in the year

I really like Oakridge as a summer course but do not like the temporary tees in winter. Temp tee boxes are ok but to have tees just plonked on uneven and uncut grass is not really acceptable in my view.
Looking forward to spring/summer when we shall return.

Really enjoyed the course with some nicely laid out holes and generally very good greens
Would happily play again when visiting Dorset in future
