Bury good

Changed a lot since I last played with lots of trees and scrub removed really giving the course some improved views. Everything was in excellent condition.

Lovely

Really enjoyed my game at BSE.
The course layout was great fun - back 9 is definitely tougher with a challenging finish.

The course is tree lined but quite forgiving in places. The real defense is the length and greens - which by the way were fantastic to putt on.

Really enjoyable and players of all abilities should go and have a game here.

Lovely course and clubhouse

Really neat and tidy course. Greens were excellent when we played. Very true and quite fast. There are some long par 4s which are a bit of a slog, but overall a really nice course. The clubhouse is also excellent and the food really good. It has one of the nicest terraces overlooking the 18th green that I have seen. Overall I would highly recommend this as a place to visit and play.

This club is too stuffy and stuck in the past, sadly missing the chance to encourage new members, expensive to join but course condition is very high standard but a bit clinical and predictable. Club is dominated by retired golfers who seem to spend their time looking for a reason to complain, new members do not feel welcome. If you are retired and can afford it then may suit you, if you are a weekend golfer save your money and look elsewhere as there are better clubs with a warm welcome

Was a member here for nearly a year and felt very unwelcome. With the joining fee and membership fees this is a very expensive club and for a weekend golfer far too pricey.The average age here seems to be retired 65+ and the club fixtures reflects this so getting a casual game at the weekend is tough and sometimes impossible. Facilities and course are excellent but as a balanced feel to enjoyment, warm welcome,and embracing new golfers i would say they are lacking big time.
The club has some very excellent course marshalls, good pro shop, good good teaching facilities. The course is kept to a very high standard but is slightly dull and not very rewarding, if you are looking for variation this place hasnt much to offer, it does have loads of bunkers will poor quality sand, too little sand and slow play most of the time
Hope this helps anybody considering parting with large sums of money.

Not too tough, lots of interest

Scored low for practice facilities which are closed for refurbishment. New practice facilities look like they are going to be quite something.

Delightful 9 hole course

Our first outing to a proper course as previously we've played at Old Joes. And we were delighted. A very nice club house, good condition fairways and very good condition greens offering bowling green standards.

Albeit a short course with no par 5,s it is still a good test and can only improve ones short game. The 6th is probably the signature hole being 440 yard par 4

testing 9 hole

Course overall is in good condition although as is the time of year there are a number of leafs about. Tee boxes in good condition and the greens are of average pace and true. For what the club charges this is a good course and can help improve anybody's short game. Signature hole is the par 4 440 yard 6
