Played this course for the first time, must admit it was in the middle of a warm dry spell we have been experiencing. Easy to find with ample parking available. Clubhouse could be missed as the 1st tee is the opposite side of the car park. Easy sign in with staff very pleasant, food and drink available to take away (drink/snacks) with a small supplies shop available too. The course itself was rather quirky, with quite a few short par 4's. The fairways were dry as expected and the greens were in need of some TLC, the greens are extremely slow. The only defence the course offers are its bunkers and there are plenty of them. The front 9 is rather bland basically marching up and down the field. The second 9 poses more interest from 10 onwards where you do have to engage a little course management. It finishes with a very long Par 5 which is a proper golf hole.
Its another course off my Leicestershire bucket list but not necessarily one i will be racing back too. At £26 on a weekend I suppose it just meets your VFM.

Greenway Hall could be so much better and attract so many more. Don't be put off by the 8 par threes, it is a good challenge but it has issues. Due to the space of the course there are several cross overs so you must have your wits about you. Played off the whites today although there is not a lot of difference between them all. Fairways overall were OK but a few lacked sufficient grass and needed more water, 10-13 especially. Greens were really slow and needed a cut. The course is quite undulating and our biggest challenge came on the back nine with two holes in particular. The 14th is a par five set on a slanting gradient and no matter how you hit the ball it will either roll onto the 15th green, across the 4th fairway or you will lose your ball. Every golfer we saw used their full allocation searching for the ball. Whilst I understand holes should be challenging surely for a par 5 you should be able to land your ball on the fairway. Next the 15th, a short par 4, again no fairway, this hole was just over 200 yards, but if you can't carry the ball that distance there is no where to go. These two holes need a rethink as they spoiled what could be a nice little track

Westwood Golf Club provides a great challenge to all golfers, split into two nines by the topography of the course, the front 9 being hilly with holes set on the bankside. Really good challenge with the par 5 being extremely difficult due to the contours of the land. The back 9 in contrast is as flat as can be, with the River Churnet providing the most challenges. The extremes of this course make it a great challenge. Well worth a visit. Greens in good condition with a slow to medium rating, fairways in good condition, The only downside is we were not allowed to play the white tees.

Booked a four ball at the course through Golf Now so really good rate. Pro shop was good, and has recently been taken over by the team from Midland golf. Friendly face in the shop and was more than accommodating. Teed off on time, so to the course, Tee boxes were uneven and needed cutting throughout the course, fairways were again long, it appeared the whole course was in need of a cut, greens were very slow having just played a course with a stint of 12.5 it was really difficult to 0lay these as they were very slow. Bunkers were sand less, the one on the 8th was like a gravel pit.
This appears a poor review but I have played this course on numerous occasions and this is probably the poorest condition that I have seen it. Went in the 19th, staff friendly and drinks were ok.
