Played Bewdley Pines for £20 which is very reasonable by any standards. Greens were immaculate and true. Holes 2 - 6 are testing so unless you like losing balls probably best to play conservatively. After the 6th the course opens out with wide fairways, although there are quite a few par 4's over 400 yards. Only one short par 3, the14th.
Played on my own with a 2pm tee off and did not get held up until the 15th when I got stuck behind 4 ball using buggies!!
I like Bewdley Pines, a well organised venue where the course isn't too hard on high handicappers such as me.

Played this course earlier today in sweltering heat. Beginning to dry out after many dry days but greens were superb. I have played many courses in the UK and abroad and the greens match the best. A minor criticism would be that the first cuts were too long and I lost a few balls that I would normally have found easily.
Little Lakes is very undulating and I am 66 so my motocaddy was ,for me,essential. A buggy would have been even better.
It is of benefit to have played the course before as there are quite a few dog legs which are not obvious from the trees.
I did not find the course overly long and course management is more important than length - a 3 wood or hybrid is sufficient off most trees.
Facilities are restricted due to COVID but we enjoyed a welcome drink and sandwich after the round.

Hadnt played Sapey for about 10 years and it has developed well. Trees have grown and fairways and greens were lush. I was impressed by the quality of the fairways and didn't have a bad lie anywhere. The locals are very lucky to have a course of this quality and for us urbanites it is well worth the drive.
