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)

Considering that half the Fillies course was shortened and as we only played 16 holes on the Colt to say this was a disappointment is an understatement.. no compensation was offered and we also had to pay the full price for buggies.. And drinks in the 19 hole are an extortionate price.

Played the Filly Course, a good golf course, but I expected a bit more from Close House.
It's in good condition, except for the greens which are heavily sanded & therefore slow.
It's a nice lay out, with some good strategic bunkering & a few trees.
I particularly enjoyed holes 5 to 8 where there was a bit of water & you go up & down hill, but other than that the course was fairly flat.

Major improvement on the course over the last few years. Fantastic new clubhouse and driving range. Greens are very good; undulating with varying levels. Quite expensive, but a nice course.

The course has underone a major programme of improvements and after almost a fulll summer of the new layout being ipen, the course is bearing up well.
It will only get better with time, as the greeens bed in. They are all brand new and have benn built to exacting PGA standards.
The downside is the cr@p approach road and parking facilities.
The clubhouse, athlough small, is welcoming and the John Smiths is a treat. Plansa re in place for a new clubhouse, but the timescale is not cast in concrete.

Not a Winter Course
Played this as Day 2 of an overnight break. March was the wettest March for 40 years and the course had not held up particularly well. It was very soft in places, although playable. Greens really needed a cut as they were very inconsistent. 2 temporary tees in play which were not fit for purpose. They made two decent par 4s into pitch and putt holes and the matts had just been borrowed from the range and still had the rubber driving tee in!!!Accommodation was fabulous and very, very spacious even if they do push the two single beds right next to each to fit into the wall mounted headboard??? Food was decent but nowhere near as good as Sandburn Hall the previous day.
