The staff were very welcoming and quick to serve, the course was in excellent condition. The food both on arrival and for the one course meal was excellent and very good value. Would definitely visit again.

Good beginners course in nice setting

Undulating and nice fairways. Ditches border the fairways so beware. Later holes are a bit short but you need to be accurate if you want to get par.

Not a winter course

The wet weather has taken a big toll on this course with large areas extremely muddy and the greens have been badly sanded. This was done as the greens had a disease we were told. Avoid this as there are better condition courses locally

(Round played: Mar 2022 - Score: 90 Handicap: 14.4)

February 2nd

So, I was a full member here for about 3/4 years - lovely people play here, great staff etc but in the last year or so something seems to be terribly wrong with the greens. I love a putt or three so greens are very high on my wish list - so I'm afraid Crane Valley is out of bounds for the foreseeable.
In addition it appears many members/visitors are illiterate as cannot read large signs placed around course to guide trolleys away from wet areas that need protection.
Huge pitchmark left by group before on 6th tee, maybe they were so proud of being so close they left it for us to see.
Some temp tee boxes but while badly needed tee reconstruction underway but they are too small. On 15th - driver is needed and there really is not enough room to let the big dog out unless you are adept at playing with heels in mid air.

Refurbished club and course

Played this course several times over the years but it has recently been taken over by a new company who have spent a lot of money redesigning the course (new bunkers and lake) all bunkers have been updated too. The clubhouse has also had a makeover, there is no pro shop as you would usually find, check in is at the bar where you can purchase the usual small items.
The course is of two halves, one with trees lining many holes the second nine more open. A good test of golf, worth a visit, I will be back

Mind the rough

The fairways are fairly generous with a secondary cut. Go any further ouch!
Course in very good condition with the front nine of more interest than the back but overall worth a go.
