interesting layout but course is also occupied by walkers and dogs.The layout is sometimes difficult to follow where the next hole is.
None of the hole numbers are shown on any tee

played here many years ago and spent most of my youth on this course. I could not believe how much the local council has let this course get into such a terrible state , this used to be one of the best public courses around, alas this was over 47 years ago. my round was ruined by a member of one of the clubs i believe Belfairs who accused me and my wife of jumping on not paying green fees. I live in Lincoln some 160 miles away. Who in right mind would drive this distance to jump on, i must have come across local half wit

You know when playing at Belfairs extra care must be taken as there are lots of the public walking around the course & surrounding woods. Having said that before teeing off on the 1st, pro said the greens had been attacked by crows, after playing the course nearly every green had big holes in them. The poor green keepers must be pulling their hair out trying to repair them, they have left the greens long to try & prevent the damage, but have left them very slow & very difficult to read. Having said all this still enjoyed our round, with the amusement of the unpredictable greens. We were stuck behind a 3 ball who had no intention of letting me & my playing partner through

This course has a lot of potential, going from an open front 9 to a more in closed back 9, it makes you think about what shots to play.
Only thing that lets this course down is people walking their dogs across the fairways and have no sense of etiquette. Fairways and greens aren't the best but value for money is good.

Return After 7 Years
Our normal Tuesday club was down to three of us this week so I booked Belfairs (which used to be a starter course for most of us in this area)First and foremost, it cost ?19.50 for a round and the course was worth it. It's a council-run course so lacks attention to detail and is open to Public and Animal wear and tear).
When we played on 05/09/23 it was very hot so by token the fairways although green in colour were very quick.
The actual greens were in good order. Some of the holes needed some care around the rim. The real disappointment was some of the Tee boxes were a bit shabby and overgrown.
Belfairs as a course is very tree lined and as such is pretty to look at and demanding to play especially if it's running quickly. This club desperately needs an injection of cash, stewarding, and change in the Pro Shop (which looks like a public toilet). Overall it was nice to be back and hopefully it will remain in good order .
If you are there early there is no eating facility till 10. There are no practice facilities there either (as far as I'm aware). We all did enjoy the round and will be back, which is a testament to the golf challenge.

A Sunday stroll
This course has been around for many years now and is always a stern test of plotting your way around a course strategically being mostly tree lined fairways however, the general public , dog walkers etc have no respect for the course and think it’s a park. Picnics in the fairways for example that I experienced and no regard for golfers who would certainly get a grilling if someone was to get hurt. Greens are still slow not sure if these will get cut shorter as we head into summer.Reviewer Rating

Bone dry - ran forever.Course dry. No rakes in bunkers as public course and the locals nick them.
Greens in great condition generally. Not consistent, but quite clear which ones are lush green and those that are a bit faster.
For a twilight £11 you can't go wrong.

Lovely Greens
Just beautiful this time of year. You get a lot of extra length on the fairway drives...BUT, if your slightly offline, your in the woods. Holes 15 to 17 have softer greens...allowing for high approach shots (the greens are slightly shaded , so retain moisture).Reviewer Rating
