Worst course I have ever played.

Well, I have to say what a disappointing experience I had at the golf course this weekend. It is safe to say the course should have been closed.

I appreciate there has been a lot of rain recently and the fairways are far from being able to be cut, but I've never played a course in worse conditions.
The fairways would grace most courses as areas around the unkempt tee boxes. The tee boxes, when you could see the markers were as long as some of the fairway grass and had not been kept or tidied for some time. The moss on the greens were happy with the wet conditions. No matter where you walked it was a quagmire. Even the greens sank beneath your feet to allow water to rise.

So why did I continue to play? This weekend I was sleeping out rough for charity and had an opportunity to visit a course in the vicinity rather lay underneath a cardboard box I thought I would visit a course.

What is worse than the course in the condition it was is that hidden within the website is an acknowledgement that the courses irrigation system has failed and the owners are aware, that the course needs investment and designer is earmarked to come in and transform it.... knowingly charging the same rates.

I think this nugget of information should be advertised more prominently. I wish I had taken the green fees and just donated it to the charity I was supporting as it would have made a better difference elsewhere!

Hi Neil
Sorry you didn't enjoy your game here with us recently. It has been the wettest winter in my 25+ years as a Golf Professional. We have been borderline open/closed for a lot of March, it has been exceptionally frustrating for all concerned.
We simply cannot get the mowers out to cut the grass, therefore we try to be open, if we can, as well as honest about course conditions.
As you booked online it doesn't offer you the human interaction, which is not your fault.
I'd love for you to come back as our guest and enjoy the course as it is improving every day

Hadn't played here in some time. Course in ok condition but very wet in places which I suspected might be the case from previous experience. Bunkers out of play for same reason. Still a generally enjoyable round save for losing a couple of balls that plugged. Decent value at £32 on a Saturday afternoon. Will likely revisit when dryer next summer.

Played today for the first time at Blacknest and was pleasantly surprised. The course was in excellent condition, particularly the greens which were pretty fast! Not the most challenging of courses but I still managed to lose some balls! I’ll definitely come back.

Hi Derek,

Thank you for your review, glad you enjoyed your day with us here at Blacknest.
The course has been in great shape this year and feedback has been excellent.
However, some tees do need attention, we have a winter project in place to improve quite a few of them, ready for next season.

Played as a reciprocal to our home club, very enjoyable round, teamed up with a single player, club member (Ollie), gave us a few pointers to look out for which made it a pleasure to play, (and he bought the beers,) thanks Ollie, will return the favour when you play our course.
Greens were firm and predictable, fairways firm a bit dry due the present drought.
Will definitely come again.

Played the course twice over the past 10 days, fairways are firm however the greens are a little sandy and I am sure they will improve over the next couple of weeks, the course is a Spring / Summer course not an Autumn / Winter course as it has no drainage. I think it's a lovely course and will defiantly be playing again during the coming months.
