Crews Hill Golf Club
Played On 03/26/2017Excellent course; shame about the tees
The course itself is excellent. The greens were the best we've played since last summer. It's a shame about the tees which were temporary grass tees and in bad condition, and position. The staff in the restaurant weren't very helpful either; the food was good.
Cainhoe Wood Golf Club - Castle Course
Played On 03/19/2017Misleading Advertising
We read a review prior to going that the course was in immaculate condition - it certainly wasn't. It was in very poor condition. The greens hadn't been rolled for a long time (although we were assured they had been 5 days before). The fairways hadn't been cut in ages (although we were shown pictures of them in pristine condition, from a week before). The tees were in very poor condition. The manger was having a laugh when he talked to us afterwards, and showed us his pictures. He says the course will be as shown and described in the press by the beginning of April. I think he's living on another planet. The course has great potential. We've played it in a lot better condition 110-15 years ago. It's been fairly poor since. Hopefully it will improve as he says.
Aldenham Golf Club - Church Course
Played On 03/12/2017Worst Course Conditions of The Year
This course was in the worst condition I've ever seen it. The pro shop prior to my booking told me it was in good condition. I've never seen it so bad. Also, some of the winter tees were in ridiculously forward positions, especially the 15th. Will not play there in the winter ever again. It doesn't weather well.
It used to be that the Baroness primary and Baron secondary course but last year it seems that the Baroness was closed due to a lack of ground staff. THIS year the Baroness course is open again (played beginning of April) but it has not been maintained with greens VERY slow, in poor condition and no obvious signs of being reseeded. There are weeds in bunkers and overgrown fairways. The Baron course now seems to be preferred ( more expensive) course and although better maintained, it is still a long way off being anything like what any reasonable golfer would say was "good". Proper course management still seems to be deficient and whilst we saw several grounds staff (April visit) only one was seen cutting grass, the rest were either driving vehicles (going where?) or walking around chatting!!
Someone needs to get a management grip before this potentially very good club completely loses all credibility.
