Its quite difficult not to be offensive, because the course has declined to an unacceptable standard over the past few years. I have been a member for the last four years hoping things cannot possibly get worse but , unfortunately they do.
The course and greens are in dreadful condition, largely to do with only one greenkeeper who has no transport due breakdown and have not been repaired, its wakefield council are they really that skint. None of the greens have been roped off or marked to keep trolleys and buggies away from the approches which are very muddy and have very inconsistent bounce, therefore punish good shots. The greens have lacked irrigation for past two summers and so impossible to play come dry conditions.
The worst offence is the use of buggies during poor wet conditions which have trashed much of the course and are allowed on even when all normal greens are shut, apparantely the club pro receives the buggy money and therefore his pocket is far more important than the course.
Very few people pay to play more than once due to the state of the course generally.
The course was and could be very good with the right management but nobody seems to have any influence over anything and the council have refused to invest in it apart from build a new clubhouse which most members would rather see burned down so they could repair the old one which is perfect.
I could go on but I think you get the message. The council needs to see this as well as the pro and any commitee members because it is how most members under the age of 65 feel. I will be joining a different club in future this club does not deserve my membership, only OAPs who pay peanuts for it will carry being members, although their fourballs dominate the course and make for unbelievably slow play upto about 3pm

Very good Municipal course although some fairways are unmissable and the back 9 is less interesting. Well kept by friendly staff although some greens were a little rough. We booked at short notice and the pricing was very reasonable.
Worth a go.

The greens are abysmal. Etiquette is not adhered to on the course, I play by myself and I frequently follow four balls who don't have the decency to let me through.
Priced at approx £15 per round it is overpriced considering I can play private courses for much the same money!
On the plus side I can ring and book a round within the hour.

pleasant course which is forgiving, and spacious, but has enough hazards to keep you on your toes. Friendly staff and clubhouse.

Very forgiving course off the tee with few bunkers on wide fairways, greens are pretty well kept for a public course and putts will keep on line pretty well. Would only recommend for summer play though as Winter tees and greens are very poor.

Good for a municipal course but in bad weather (winter) mats are needed to play off the fairways and some holes are not playable

The greens were good & firm, the fairways were tidy, the only issue with this course is the golfers following not seeing who's holding up & wanting to go through at busy periods.

Excellent municipal course - great value for money. Nice parkland layout - a fair test of golf without too much harsh rough or trees. Well worth a visit and don't miss out of the par three 17th.

excellent municipal, kept in very good condition due to the fact they put temporary greens on at the drop of a hat. open fairways make it quite an easy course, although the first is qite tight on the right.
