What the club says: Boldmere Golf club was established in 1936 originally as a 9 hole golf course. The club boasts the oldest pro-am event in Europe, with top professionals joining the competition since it began in 1952. A recent score of 57 by M. Morris stands as the lowest round at Boldmere golf club and a 6 under par round at boldmere with all of its challenging par 3's is no mean feat. The par at boldmere is 62 with a total of 4202 yards, although only a short course consisting of 11 par 3's, 6 par 4's and 1 par 5, it is found by all who play here to be a tricky and challenging course due to the length of the long par 3's where many golfers need a wood to reach. The course is situated on the edge of Sutton Park leading to some rewarding views across the La Reserve lake.

Great mid handicapper and starter challenge

Greens need a lot of work, pitch marks all over the green, need more discipline from golfers.
On the 18th it was covered in geese and obvious droppings spread all
Over the place.
After 15:00 it?s ?6.50 which is amazing

Nice relaxed course. Good to play

Always nice to go to the relaxed atmosphere of Boldmere. Nice course to play, not too demanding, but challenging enough. Lots of par 3s, fairly flat but with some uphill features. Really enjoy it.

Short course.

Short course but nevertheless good fun .
Not too difficult but you still need to hit a good straight ball.

Pace of play so poor

Played this course yesterday mid morning, Tuesday, 5th March and although cheap rate of ?10, this was reflected in the pace of play. A number of holes were being played by groups of 3 and 4 players of what I would call Senior players. Unfortunately, although asked to let single players through, the response was "no point, there's 3 up ahead and 4 in front of them". Their pace was so slow, that I started my tee off at the first a good 20 minutes later than booked. When this happens, it is difficult to get momentum between holes. This was found by a single player in front of me. The course itself, was in decent condition and course maintenance in progress. However, I shall avoid Tuesday mornings in the future and try later in the day to see if its any better. In saying that I still hit my best score here, but think what I could have had if momentum maintained!
Recommendations are based upon a further visit in the afternoon being better!

SLOW SLOW PLAY.

Turned up after a rainy night and temporary greens 11/18 where in play. Acceptable besides the fact that these were totally neglected. The greens that where in play were good and fast, but the inconsistency between the temps caused difficult putting.

I played as a two ball and it took us just under four hours. For a course playing just over 5k yards this was shocking. From the first tee we were stuck behind a four ball that refused to let us through, and not sounding nasty were terrible. Absolutely shocking behaviour. At one point there were two clears holes in front of them.

I have enjoyed playing the course over the years, but today as disappointed me.
