Your paying for the name
Clearly a very well manicured course which is very expensive to play . You are paying for the prestige of playing here as the greens are nowhere near as good as a lot of cheaper courses I have played on this year. Parklands and Linden Halls greens are much superior to these.(Round played: Jul 2019 - Score: 104 Handicap: 20.7)

Great golf, amazing accommodation
The package here is hard to beat, we have now been for the last two years and always love the accommodation and food/beverages. The golf courses are both lovely, funnily enough we preferred the Filly to the Colt, not even sure why. Professionalism in the range and clubhouse is superb and if they added a spa I would be back more often. Certainly worth a go.Reviewer Rating

Got to play it!
Yes it's a course still living off the British masters in 2017, but it's definitely worth playing. I got the tee at a reduced rate through work so not sure if the full price. But to say it was March the course was in fantastic condition and will only get better for the summer.Reviewer Rating

A must visit venue
Our second trip - 2 rounds with an overnight stay and breakfast for ?99 is amazing value for money considering the quality of the courses/facilities. The restaurant (service/food/drinks) for our evening meal has always been first class.Reviewer Rating

Slightly Overrated but great nontheless
The second half of a deal we had to cancel due to bad weather in March, so as true quality hosts would, Close House rescheduled this particular round for us till the middle of season in June - Brilliant.However, it corresponded with the England V Panama World Cup tie which (moving the tee time any golfers in our group who wanted to could watch the game) meant that after a lllooonnnggg round timewise (the course seemed very full and groups were being released off of the first tee every six minutes which meant backlogs on many of the tees) and a two hour drive back it was incredibly late by the time I got home.
As for the course and facilities - facilities are absolutely superb, from the driving range, through to the car parks, the rooms to stop over in and the bar/veranda, clubshop area - all top notch.
The course - was very nice too, as you'd expect from a venue such as this, fairways were true, as were the greens - so much so it was very easy to give the greens a little too much respect, think about the putt for far too long then play the putt too tentatively. Three putts plus were common. There was sand in the bunkers which players could play out of too. All in all it was very good as we expected but as an individual not quite as excellent as I thought it should've been. I just felt that maybe Close House was slightly over-hyped and overrated due to the British Masters being held there last year.
With this in mind I would say that there are courses we (as in our society that do these trips) have played that we have gotten on similar deals that I would return to before Close House given a straight choice between the two (Rockcliffe and Ramside are two examples).
All that said - over the two day deal we all had a great time on a great course with superb facilities and are taking greater numbers back with us for a similar deal next March.

Challenging Course
If you can stay out of the ever growing rough this course is a great challenge for every level of handicap golfer especially when the wind starts to blow.Reviewer Rating
