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.

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.

Colt course at close was a testing layout. Good challenging shaped holes where you really had to think about choice of shot and club selection. Greens were in very good condition considered all the rain that had been previously.

Very nice course, in excellent condition for October. Can only think of two wet spots on the whole course... would definitely recommend. £110 for a game in the summer is a bit much for a game though. It’s not that good

Superb venue for a round of golf

Excellent day out, despite heavy rain for the first 6 holes. As the course is cut that fine puddles appeared but soon dried out once the rain relented. A fair challenge for players of all levels with some fiendishly placed bunkers always in play off the tee and approaching the green. Clubhouse is awesome with lovely food/drink and helpful staff. Would definitely go back.
