What the club says: Built in the late 1970's the Abbey course has now matured into a fine, championship standard parkland course measuring over 6,500 yards. Designed by Donald Steel, one of Britain's leading course architects the course has been extensively upgraded and lengthened in recent years.

The layout includes matured trees, lakes and on the whole the fairways are wide with the rough not too punishing, the picturesque 7th is a 192 yard drive from the medal tee with the green surrounded on three sides by the river arrow. The 13th is a challenging uphill par 4 drive between two mature oak trees at 250 yards with the green concealed out of sight at the top of the hill.

Love this course

Never get bored playing The Abbey, every hole is so different, and no easy holes....there is something to catch you out on every hole. Take the par 5's all needs some precision driving so you have a good 2nd shot and not blocked out by a huge oak tree.
Course is in really nice condition. Greenkeepers are grrowing the grass around the fairway bunkers which is making i look really nice - but a b**tch if you end up in it instead of the and (bit like some of the courses in Lincolnshire like Forest Pines and Woodhal Spa but not as deep thank goodness!)

It's been really busy with golf breaks over September which says it all. Even bumped into some visitors from Royl Porthcawl who enjoyed it. Says it all.

An amazing Local Course.

This really is an amazing Course that sits almost in the middle of a housing Scheme. Easy enough to find if you use a Sat Nav. Once you enter the Car park and see the Course it really does look amazing. Not a bad walk if you sometimes struggle as only a couple of holes where you have an uphill walk. Some fantastic holes and they have just completed 3 new holes which are superb. Give it a try and you will NOT be disappointed.

Never tire of playing the Abbey

Proper test of golf! I enjoy it as it is not easy. No push over holes as there is danger everywhere. If you are visiting the Midlands - book a round. just 3 miles off M42.

The pictures on the website make the course look very good but in reality, we were disappointed with it. The course was wet in many places and lots of mud on the walkways, not sure what it will be like later in winter. Lots of water but not a lot in play. Rough was just a little too high, constantly searching for your ball when it was just off the fairway. Pace of play very slow, we ended up behind two groups of members who joined together to make a 5 ball!! Greens in good condition though, bunkers short of sand in the middle, ok around the edges. The course just felt a bit sad. Unusual layout with two longish walks between a housing estate. Did not use the clubhouse. May give it another try during summer.

Unusual layout

Unusual layout first green outside someone?s house , quick walk through the estate leads to next holes, still nice course would imagine it will struggle in the wet as some areas boggy and we hadn?t had muchbrain

A must visit in the Midlands

Course in great condition, lots of societies - speaks volumes.

Love the online BRS booking system so you know how busy the course is in advance

Interesting holes, not driver off every tee. Greens a little slow compared to putting green. Good venue for corporate day.

Just renewed membership for 7th year

It is a great course, and not resting on any laurels.

Quite a bit of work has been done so some new fairway bunkers have gone in (currently GUR) and a few closed up. All the greens have been worked on and already much improved over the last 3 weeks but still a way to go until they are 'summer ready'. But just playing early April and seeing how manicured the fairways are looking off the tee I think this course is going to be incredible over the summer.

Although a member for 6 years already and I still play 30+ other courses over the course of a year I always look forward to returning to my home course.

The club house (Tawny Bar) has been extended and is much bigger and better. Just beware you could be having a post match pint with a bunch of girls just wearing robes having let the spa for a drink/lunch........... :-)

Goid

A good course, well laid out with some different challenges over water & between trees.
The hotel is excellent, very friendly staff with nice food.
The greens are OK for April, they will be superb in the summer.

We played here after waiting for heavy rain to stop falling. Within half an hour of it stopping, the course was good enough to play, just as the pro shop told us. There is a decent variety of holes, the fairways and greens were in good condition and it was a test for us who varied from 28 down to 20 handicaps. The back nine seemed long in the wet conditions but an enjoyable time was had by all.
