Decent links layout with a lot of blind shots. Would need to play a few times to work out where best to aim some tee shots

If you're not a local, you should avoid

Lots of blind shots. Fairways almost nonexistent, holes merge into one another with a crazy amount of public footpaths crossing the course from all angles. Club pro was very friendly, but old timer members, not so much.

Very attractive links, got a warm welcome in their spring Open. A lot of contour for the seaside, not long but a fairly hard walk. Very nice mix of easy and difficult holes, several are really very good indeed.
Needs another practise net and depth marked flags would be good, fairways and greens were ok without being outstanding.
That said, it’s a very enjoyable course and under rated here, could be in the top 400 IMO

Had enjoyed morning playing bude. Invited to go round with 3 friendly members which helped some what because there is a few blind shots. First links type course I've played. Course in great condition. Pity I didn't play that well. Would play again.

Great traditional links

What a great course / experience. This course is a true links experience of a course set amongst the town.
If you like parkland golf then this set-up will probably not float your boat. If however you enjoy a natural course with a play it as it lies outlook then it is for you.
Staff are all good, but a special mention to those behind the bar - always very welcoming when we visit.
Enjoy!

This is not a cause I would play again there are to many holes that are play blind too hills and hollows maybe I'm not a lover of links clauses.

Hard course

Very tricky course with a lot of blind tee shots where you are not 100% sure where the fairway is (never mind the green) if you like a challenge I would recommend it! Stay clear of the rough and bang a driver down there about 280 and you should be fine on most holes though ;-)

If you go to Bude expecting a championship links course you will be disappointed but if you go expecting a great value holiday links you'll be delighted. Although we played it in February 17 the greens were in good nick and very true and the fairways nice and firm. We also had breakfast which was excellent quality and plentiful. All round a very enjoyable experience!

Could not understand the fairway marker post system on the blind holes, which most of them were. The posts just gave the fairway number with the shot sometimes being over, to the left or to the right. Loved the par 5 ninth.

Bude is a good links course. If you approach the course expecting hard fairways, some wind, some blind shots, some fair & unfair bounces then you will not be disappointed. If you turn-up expecting lush parkland fairways, ball sitting up ready to hit every time - then yes sorry you will likely be disappointed. Embrace the challenge, the variety of holes and shots required and you will leave a better and exhilarated player. Footnote - the clubhouse has a great friendly feel to it, well done the bar / catering staff
