Played here a few times but this was the first time this year. Generally the course conditions are pretty good but surprised (or perhaps not) that pitch marks weren't being repaired by players. The course itself was relatively quiet for a Wednesday mid-day tee off time.

Would certainly play here again.

Excellent welcome from pro-shop who enquired whether I was playing course for first time and then took me outside to guide me round from first tee. All holes clearly signposted. Greens and fairways in very good condition. A bit hilly but not too much. Depending on weather conditiins I may request buggy next time.

All in all a very good experience.

Played at Little Lakes a few times over the past few months. Greenkeepers did a lot of work in the winter on drainage etc and it has really paid off. Greens and fairways in excellent condition. Greens a little slower than my home course but true. I played on a quiet afternoon and the pace of play was quick enough.

Excellent welcome. Course relatively quiet but seems to be attracting golfers back. Despite recent hot weather greens and fairways in good condition.

Played Astbury a few times and despite it's recent problems it remains a joy to play. Fortunate that the course was quiet and got round quickly. They are catching up with some ground work but nothing that impedes on enjoying the course. Will definitely be returning and hopefully they will get the increased custom they deserve.

Have played here a few times in summer and winter and was expecting some boggy bits. However, the course is much drier than I expected and the greens were in great condition for the end of November. Will play again, soon.

Plated at Little Lakes before and the value for money remains exceptional. Nice welcome, changing rooms sparse and need some TLC.

Course conditions relatively good for end of October. Greens in much better condition compared to last time I played. Course empty in the late morning mid-week!!! A bit hilly in places.

It looks as if money is being spent on the off course facilities. Will play again.

Really quiet when I visited which is a shame as it remains a great course in well maintained condition. Greens true, fairways just slightly widened for winter play and most of the heath grass mown so didn't lose a ball!

Played at Bransford previously and the first impression was much better. The young man in the pro-shop was very welcoming and provided us with the right amount of information we needed. Course looks to have been improved in terms of drainage and was generally in a good condition for mid-April. Still playing off winter tees on most par 3's which was a bit disappointing but this didn't reduce our overall enjoyment of the course.

As this course matures it just gets better and better. Course conditions would have been 5 stars but front 9 greens being dressed but I appreciate that this needs to be done. Will definitely visit again (3rd visit this summer).
