Hmmmm
A local course that is played regularly Spring through Autumn. Generally in excellent condition but the twice I've played to date in 2025 make me apprehensive. Sunday 20th April, great green fee rate and from tee to end of fairway presented in excellent condition but the greens were very poor showing few signs of improvement over a round in March.Pitch mark repairers must be about as common around Bondhay at the moment as is a bin man around Birmingham. Most greens, but especially the back nine, were more in need of a shave than I am. I genuinely think the course is under rated locally but today can only speak as I find but will end on a positive; the work undertaken to thin out the trees provide a much fairer test of golf with the advantage of speeding up play and providing better air/light around tee's and greens. I can only hope that a return visit will see progress made to the condition of the greens that in past years have been as good as any and a key feature to the aesthetics of this course.

Much better than it was
Played here for the first time in 2022 and was impressed by the total variation of each hole and spectacular magnets on 9, 10, 11 and 18th!.Since it was October the ground-staff were busy cleaning up the many leaves. It blew me away being so good and nice layout.
Played many times in 2024 and the improvements made to the Greens is plane to see- loads of fairway trees have been removed with a few more still planned to be felled, the removal of trees around some of the greens has allowed more light to get to them and the improvements nice to play on.
There are some good deals to be had on many occasions, so take advantage of these when they are available.
I do hope that they manage to improve the 19th hole facilities since the bar, seats and flooring remind you of a works canteen unfortunately. Some money has been spent on the function rooms however. Likewise the locker rooms are in a state of disrepair which again is unfortunate since these would offer members some comfort.
The driving range has been improved with the addition of the Trackman system- makes using this more interesting.
Its a great course - well recommended

As hard as ever, but we love it!
Bondhay is widely regarded as the hardest course in the local area and many shy away from it or call in sick for this round. Wayward shots end up in the trees, but take your medicine and chip out to the fairway and carry on and you can score round here. Try and be Tiger Woods from in the trees and you will get eaten up by this course. Some wonderful holes in 4, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14 and one of the best 18th holes you will play anywhere (which for the first I went for in two yesterday). Pro shop always helpful, food is great and facilities are all there. It would have got a 10 but for some tee off mats and the odd green which still needs to level out and a couple of missing 150 yard markers. We will always come back and love/hate it depending how we play. If you have not played this course, go there and experience it. It is not for high handicappers or those who are wayward, they will hate it. Do it, you know its a must!Reviewer Rating

Awful
Played the course 18/03/23 and was very very disappointed, the fairways were left incredibly long, no defining cut between fairways and semi rough, the greens were heavily sanded, not rolled and pitted and scarred. Trees have been felled around the greens to let in more sunlight on the greens but they have left two foot ugly stumps as a hazard which looked like a child had been let loose with a birthday chain saw.The food and drinks were good and a special mention to the bar staff for a pleasant service -- the only redeeming feature of the day !

Superb 18 hole championship course in great condition. Quite a long course with good fairways which are tree lined so accurate driving is required to achieve a good score. Greens are excellent with numerous bunkers protecting them with several holes having water hazards . A good challenge for all golfers.
Nice club house well staffed.

The hardest challenge in golf locally I would say, but what a course it is. Those who moan about this courses challenges need to look at their game rather than the layout. You need to come here and try your skills as it can destroy a good player quite easily with wayward tee shots. Greens great, layout excellent and the 18th finishing is a beauty. The food is always fantastic and the pro shop guys very welcoming. If you think you’ve got a game, try here and if you get through it unscathed get yourself a drink at the bar afterwards and breath a sigh of relief!

Can’t see the good for the trees!
Bondhay is laid out over interesting undulating terrain and the turf is good. I’m sure it was an excellent golf course when it was originally built to a Donald Steele design.Unfortunately however, the owners have seen fit to almost completely ruin the experience by planting thousands upon thousands of trees flanking every fairway and intruding horribly on play. Any strategy and subtlety in the original design has been obliterated by tree growth and playing Bondhay today is a very dull and frustrating exercise in straight hitting.
It is no wonder that Donald Steele refuses to have his name any longer associated with the place.
There is a rumour afoot that a high profile top tour pro with local connections is interested in buying the club and taking it upmarket. I hope he’s got a lot of chainsaws!
