We've played the course a few times before, and must say the course has been improving over the last few years. That being said, on this particular occasion (Early February) the greens were not in the best condition. I will be back there again in the future.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Jan 9 2019 by Jack L - rated 1 out of 5 Terrible Greens
Played here on 6th Jan, what i thought to be good value for money at £13 for 18, ended up not worth it at all. Course layout is OK with some challenges but the greens are almost unplayable. Such poor condition its impossible to even put in a straight line. parts of the green have no grass at all. Wont be returning, even if it is £13Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Oct 2 2018 by Steve C - rated 2 out of 5 Greens ?
There has been some kind of disease on the greens that has made them pretty much unplayable. Other than that the course needs some water on the fairways as they are v dry and cracked in places. They have dropped the price while the greens are so poor but avoid for a while if you want to sharpen your putting game. We played gimmes from a clubs length but putting was still a lottery(Round played: Sep 2018 - Score: 91 Handicap: 18.5)

At a time of year when the green should be tip top, these were very disappointing. Inconsistent with hardly any grass but for £10 on a Sunday morning I suppose you can’t grumble for a cheap knock(Round played: Sep 2018 - Score: 79 Handicap: 8)

Reviewed Jul 9 2018 by Mick N - rated 2 out of 5 Great course, however hardly any of the greens were green, and a few had many scuff lines, making putting very difficult. The cuts in the fairways need to improved too.

Reviewed Jul 9 2018 by Tim C - rated 3 out of 5 Not my best experience here....
A little disappointed with my most recent experience here.First off, booked a tee time online to then be told it would link us up with another random 2 ball. Only got notified of this when booking buggy otherwise wouldn't have known until arrival. Had to then tee off an hour later than planned and wouldn't refund booking fee.
Secondly, pro shop was closed and buggies were not ready upon arrival. Lots of waiting around as one staff member tried to sort everything.
Thirdly, the 3 ball in front of us considerably slowed play (not Blakes fault, just people with no common sense at all.)
Have played the course plenty of times and usually have a great experience so will come back. Especially with their loyalty card when you get a round for free after playing just once.
With the weather how it is balls are running, and keep running. On your approach shots, I'd suggest going 2 clubs lower (and even then balls ran off the back). With the distance from drives though you can get yourself into some great positions.

Enjoyed playing Blake’s, only criticism is that the greens were not in the best condition. They were still playable but quite slow due to length of grass and firm which made it difficult to stop balls on the green. I would go back and play again.(Round played: Jun 2018 - Score: 94 Handicap: 0)

Reviewed May 22 2018 by KEN PEARCEY - rated 5 out of 5 Best deal for Golfers
Great welcome from reception and bar. Buggies only £10 ? The course, off the white tees is challenging. The greens could be better, but not as bad as I have read in other reviews. No problem with the rest of the course. The elements could make a round difficult, due to the open surroundings. Once finished, Afternoon Tea, superb. Thanks for very good day for only £17 each.Course (layout/challlenge)

Considering the price I would have to say its a decent course but the greens leave much to be desired. They were slow, bumpy and virtually unplayable at times.Overall it was a good round on a decent course.
