What the club says: Branston has a full range of golf facilities with the 18-hole, par 72 picturesque golf course situated in Burton, Staffordshire, alongside the River Trent with excellent views over the river and into South Derbyshire. Challenging and yet very enjoyable with water featuring on 16 of the 18 holes. The 9-hole, par 30 parkland academy course has four sets of tees on each hole. Ideal for all standards of golfer, especially those wishing to practice their short game and approach shots. Greens kept to same excellent standard as the 18-hole course.

Disappointed
Extremely disappointed playing Branston today, not a warm welcome on arrival, poor overpriced breakfast, staff were miserable and poor service.Golf course was in shocking condition, tees had very little grass with big holes on some and very uneven, fairways ? What fairways ? Undistinguishable with tufty grass bare in places and very uneven brown and dead have you ever heard of watering ? Greens actually had grass and appeared to have been introduced to water but played poorly.
Course has many electricity pylons and wires crossing the course which are in play resulting in lovely drives hitting wires and either reducing distance or loss of ball.
Scorecard had no plan or rules stated.
Championship course ? Far from it very disappointing seems to have great potential but clueless operators I would AVOID plenty of better places to play.

Greens not in great condition
Have played here before and last summer the course was in much better condition. The tee boxes were well maintained, fairways firm but ok, but green were very spongy and bumpy. Maybe they’ll improve as season progresses as they had recently been treated.Reviewer Rating

Eagle Course - excellent condition
Another visit to Branston, primarily as a warm up for Monday and to check out their new Top Tracer Range. Range busy, no trolleys allowed, so had to take a selection of clubs through as I'd left carry bag home today due to rain.Greens on the course were possibly best I've played this year and £12 with member for 9 holes was well worth it.

A course in good condition, a really interesting layout. Lots of water and you must be precise with your approach shots to the relatively small greens. The final hole is a real test over the pond in front of the clubhouse.(Round played: Aug 2019 - Score: 99 Handicap: 23.4)

Played in a Society game recently and the course was in superb condition. I have played there about 12 years ago and thought it was good then but now it is fantastic. Well into summer now and it looked amazing. An excellent variety of holes for all abilities. Excellent facilities too I will be back(Round played: Jun 2019 - Score: 100 Handicap: 19.6)

Nice location and welcome
Although the weather was cold and wet the welcome was warm as was the clubhouse. The course itself is a fair test of golf despite having to use mats to protect the course from damage so always makes the shots a little more challenging. That said the course was in reasonable condition considering the weather. The greens were super as we all commented on. I think at some point the course has been altered as everyone's distance devices went wrong for a few holes? The finishing hole always nice to play, but none on the patio to watch on this day, given the poor weather. Would recommend if your in the area.(Round played: Nov 2018 - Score: 88 Handicap: 15.7)
