I've played here many times, it was a course where I learned to play so I have an affection for the place. I'd still come here when it's quiet but it's a disaster when busy. My slot was double booked and we had to wait 50 mins to tee off. The round then took nearly 5 hours due to slow play ahead.
I once went round on my own in just over 2 hours, it's not a difficult course but it attracts a lot of less capable golfers which is fair enough, we all have to start somewhere but I'd advise you to keep away from busy hours as it's always badly organised around the tee times.

It always helps if you have a fantastic round so I'll make no apologies about that influencing this review but I really have to pay compliments to Barlaston who are making great efforts to address historical flooding issues. They also have the best deals at the moment for all the local clubs.
We've had a lot of rain and we turned up fully expecting the bottom 4_5 holes to be either off bounds or boggy at best. We saw no surface water all day and the course was in great nick. For a tenner it's an absolute bargain and I hope nobody reads this so we can keep playing without it being too busy!

Course always in good condition. It's a challenging course but also a course where good play can lead to a good score.

I have a soft spot for this course as I learned to play here as it's ideal for beginners and was easy to get on and you could fly through a round. This time despite being a weekday, it took nearly 4 hours on my own due to selfish players refusing to let me through as a single player. It ruined the round and I shan't be rushing back.

Played here many times and never been disappointed. Always a challenge and always in super nick and quality greens. Would definitely join this club if it was closer to home and it would certainly keep me fit.

With Covid and restrictions on visitors, this was our first time to play here this year and the course didn't disappoint Great greens and fairways considering the wet weather. Bit of a log jam early on but quiet for the 2nd 9.
Hope to be back again soon.

I personally had a rotten round but can't blame the course which was in nice condition. Plenty of challenging holes and good greens.

Third time playing this course. Not dissimilar to Stone as a 9 holer with different tee off for the back 9 and just over 6000 yards. Fairways are wide so you can enjoy a good bash off the tee and fairway. Greens were quite quick and all in all its a decent course although not too many hazards if you like that sort of thing.

This is a great course, challenging and long and in very good condition although there are a few minor blemishes on the greens.
Its quite peaceful and scenic and I can't wait to play it again.

First game back after Lockdown, thoroughly enjoyable 4 ball. Second time playing here, some minor changes with the trees all cut back on the 18th but this is a really good course with some open fairways for those who like to hit a long drive. Some tricky greens with challenging flag positions, greens in good shape. I played poorly but who cares!

Played this course a few times now but this was my least favorite round here, a comment shared by all my fellow four ball players. The layout just doesn't provide flow as you are constantly waiting for other golfers to tee off or play fairway shots due to the high amount of shared holes. With this round in particular we were incessantly covering up to shouts of "fore" and it felt as if we might be safer wearing helmets. The review title captured the mood as a comment was made about the affinity with ducking in trenches as the shells came down. The round took 4.5 hours to complete as we had to let 2 and 1 ball players through. Coupled with poor form on the day from all of us it just wasn't an enjoyable round - sorry.

First time I've played and enjoyed a great round which always helps. Found the course well kept and comfortable to play, perhaps not the hardest. Would play again.

Don't be fooled by thinking this is a short and easy course. Most tee shots had me gritting my teeth as there isn't much room for error. Played the course twice and its got the better of me both times but I'll definitely have another go next year.

Good, enjoyable round. Greens played well considering the weather

I always enjoy a round here, even if I often seem to play poorly for some reason at this course like today.
The course played well, soft going with a bit of run here and there off the fairway. The greens were good and the course was surprising quiet for such a nice day. I'll be back though.

This is a terrific course with some great views but be prepared for a hard walk as there are some tough climbs to get to those great views.
Lots of blind holes, particularly the first three so beware. Green in good nick and couldn't fault the overall condition.
Talking to members afterwards suggested this is one of the cheaper priced courses but it has the feel of a course that you'd expect to be more exclusive. would play here more often if it was closer to home.

Always enjoy a round here despite playing badly today. Good variety of holes, some challenging and plenty of wildlife always knocking about. What concerned me was when the staff said they were going to cancel the tee-off arrangement because they are never notified about bookings.
I sense this may be a two way thing as there isn't the more savvy computer based booking in systems that many other tee-off courses employ. Hopefully Tee-off will read about this and make contact with Onneley to resolve the matter so it can remain an option.

Had 18 holes with both my sons whilst on holiday. Staff were helpful and I was able to hire clubs and trolleys.Its the kind of course that you can shoot a good score on if you're playing well but has a few tricks such as blind holes and deep bunkers like the par 3 7th.
Downside for me was the shared 2nd and 3rd faiways which caused confusion when the course was busy. There is also the 6/7 tee's where I think the previous reviewer may have had his issues as these tees are crossed and you could get hit by stray balls. The views are great and all in all its a nice course and well worth a visit.

Played here many times. Its perfect if you're learning to play or if you want to take someone who is new to golf. There are still one or two tricky holes but the par4's are mostly kind and most of the fairways are generous. Enjoyed the round and will be back.

Always find the course challenging, its slightly tougher than the likes of Barlaston, wolstanton, Onneley and Greenway who feature on tee off. Some of the staff were welcoming but did meet some "stuffy" members which was a bit off-putting to be honest. Will still play here again though.
