Rated 4 by Matt H onGolf course review of Blakes Golf Club
Excellent All rounder.
I know they had some bad press here with some vandals ruining the greens, I did play the course when it was at its worst and it wasnt amazing, but credit where its due, 3 weeks later I returned and it was as good as new.
Can get dryish through the summer, but which course doesnt??
Provides an excellent test for any golfer with narrow holes and plenty of hazards.
The signature 8th hole, the par 3 island green is a very nice test. Take some balls.
The only downside to this course is that it is very open and the wind does come into play most days.
Overall a great experience and a frequent visitor.The Course

This is set up as an inland linx coarse and that is exactly what you get you want the wind to get up to make the coarse more dificult.There are many different holes to encounter which makes the coarse very interesting.There are some greens that have tracks on them but not enough to affect your game.We paid £20.00 on a sunday morning which is great value for money and when you are tackling the 106 yard par 3 which is surrounded by water and the winds blowing its a great test of courage.

This course is very good, long holes, short holes, never any hold-ups, always seems to be windy and this just adds to the trickiness, you can shoot very low but you can also shoot very high.
£20 at the weekned and if you sign up to their free loyalty card you get a free round for every 5 rounds you pay for.

Rated 4 by Pete S onGolf course review of Blakes Golf Club
Most reveiwers have this one down to a tee! Some greens are not pleasing to the eye because of oil and have been patched in places which can seriously effect putts. The unaffected greens are extremely quick. The course was a good challenge, a good mix of holes and represents good value for money...I will be back!

Rated 3 by Alfred P onGolf course review of Blakes Golf Club
the course had quite alot of vandalism both on the greens and the aproaches. The greens played a bit slow and were bumpy. Interesting par 3's, especially the island green which I birdied! This course has not filled out yet, but shows promise in a few years.

Rated 3 by Steve M onGolf course review of Blakes Golf Club
Nice open course with good drainage. The signature Island green is good, unless it is frozen and then you can't hold the green. I would think on a windy day this is less attractive. But overall very enjoyable. Very helpful staff

Rated 3 by Brendan C onGolf course review of Blakes Golf Club
Played Good Friday, with the course surprisingly firm. Greens looked short of grass, though ball ran true, and were very testing. Always love the 8th, Island green which you pass as you drive through the course for anticipation factor. Fantastic practice area with a good chipping, bunker and putting area making it a good idea to turn up hour before your tee time for a free hour of fine tuning.

hadn't played it for a long time, not the best time for a review as ground was frozen with a sprinkling of snow on the greens. at the moment it is £15.00 with a free buggy mon-fri, so at that price its worth playing.

Seemed like a good course but difficult to judge 100% as it was completely frozen for 12 holes or so due to a heavy frost. Certainly a few testing holes and would certainly go back again.
