The course was very green after a lot of wet weather, but when I played it was 32 degrees of heat and the humidity was unbearable. The green keepers were busy on the course but the semi rough was too long therefore you had to look for golf balls a lot of the time. This is obviously something that would have been remedied if the green keepers could have had enough time getting round to trimming the semi rough. The 19th hole staff was very pleasant and attentive, food choices and food preparation was great.

Fantastic course and the day was very warm, course dry and could do with water on the greens. We had a buggie which was a bad decision due to the humps and bumps on the fairways.

Some unique holes on the course which gave for interesting shots.

The course was in excellent condition, greens fast and true, fairways well drained and tidy good signage and the weather was kind. An 8mph wind was pleasant and kept you cool at the top of the hill whilst the sun was in full force, lots of interesting holes which you had to plot your way around. The gorse and ferns were well manicured but if your ball went into them was impossible to find which was understandable. The burns around the greens was a good feature and the absence of sand was a relief, the undulating fairways did prove hard to negotiate if you had electric trolleys but again was a feature of the course. The clubhouse was well stocked, the staff and members friendly. The cost was excellent value for money.

We had played Burghill 5 years ago and we’d remembered how well cared for the course was and had been determined to return.
We were really disappointed with the condition of the fairways, worm casts everywhere, not a dry lie on the fairways, so much mud on the trolley wheels, shoes and clubs it was unheard of in late summer. Been told by the members in the clubhouse that the fairways had been cut really early in the season and this had prevented growth in the summer hence the wet and muddy fairways and the absence of thick healthy grass. The greens were good and well maintained even though they were wet, I did struggle to find grass to place my ball on at one point as this ruling was in place to combat the poor fairways. The green staff really need to improve the fairways before we would return such a shame.

Staff really friendly and course was in good condition, pace of play was good 3 hours 15mins
