Most Helpful Review
I have played this course several times and the wind always seems to blow! Still, considering that there is nothing between it and the Urals its hardly surprising. Difficult opening four holes and a couple of par 5's where the drive is almost irrelevant. Very good par 3's and the index 1, par 4, is extremely difficult in the prevailing wind. Very friendly staff and great value. Overall, try it and see what you think. I will certainly be going back.

Richard S rated 4 out of 5 - May 12 2018
- May 12 2018Good greens, nice course in lovely countrside
Barkway has always had good greens and this time was no exception. It's a challenging course physically because it's over 6600 yards off the yellows. We played on a sunny day which showed off the countryside to its best effect. Would definitely play there again.

Paul W rated 5 out of 5 - Apr 26 2018
- Apr 26 2018Tremendous value
A mid week round for £10 what could possibly go wrong? Well absolutely nothing as it happens.
The welcome is warm and the course is in very good condition.
It's long (par 74), it's a bit hilly, but I would have no hesitation in recommending that you play here.
There isn't really a short hole on the front nine (even the one par 3 is 200 yards!) but it runs well (if you keep it straight) so most holes are reachable. There are some very interesting holes with ditches cutting across them in various directions. Certainly not just an up and down layout.
The back nine is slightly friendlier with more choices to be made off the tee.
The wind is the course's major defence and it did it's best on the day we played.
Overall, I'm amazed that there weren't more people playing it.

- Aug 28 2017Course in great condition, tee boxes and greens kept really well. Played on a glorious bank holiday Sunday and it was quiet perhaps due to its location but none the less a great course that we'll be visiting again. ?17 each for a 2 ball you can't go wrong
