Tees and bunkers need attention
A parkland course with relatively flat greens. A variety of holes with some testing drives. Most holes within reach for mid-handicappers. The course is let down by the state of the tees and the awful condition of most of the bunkers. Many of the members treat the bunkers as GUR during general play.,Reviewer Rating

Overpriced and underwhelmed
I would imagine that during the summer months this course will come into its own as generally it is set in a lovely area. However during the winter months it is at best shabby and uninviting. The patchy and untidy car park doesn't exactly welcome you, as does the side of the clubhouse which looks like it's been blown away. The course condition itself is average for the time of year, with the expected presence of beer cans and sandwich wrappers visible as you pass along. Fairways and tee boxes showing signs of overuse over the past few weeks, and signs across the course of incomplete projects still work in progress. However what lets the course down is first of all the amount of OOB and distance markers that are either broken, in need of painting or those that have just been thrown into hedgerows or left laying around. Secondly the course in places does appear to be a dumping ground for redundant and broken golf equipment, as we came across a couple of broken umbrellas, broken club shafts and in one wooded area a discarded golf buggy, a general tidy up would not go amiss. However the main issue that in effect ruined our round was the behaviour of some of the members which really does not reflect good on the club. We were stuck behind two club members that for some reason decided that at peak weekend time it would be a good idea to share a range finder as they went along. The pace of play was ridiculous to say the least until they reluctantly and belatedly allowed us to play through, but not before they reminded us they were members, as if that afforded them some sort of additional privileges. Having negotiated these 2 players we were then unfortunate to then be stuck behind 4 further members who appeared to be engaged in some sort of personal competition, and with no regard for golfers backed up behind them failed to allow us to play through for the final 6 holes of our round, which took some 120 minutes.All in all very disappointing that based on the amount charged our day did not meet up to expectations, and both the course and its members need some serious improvements.

First visit
Played Colmworth, 4th Feb., for the first time at the recommendation of a friend. Great location and layout, friendly welcome and a good deal on price.For the time of year, the fairways were in very good condition, only came across two places that were a little ?boggy?. Greens were a real pleasant surprise, some challenging ones, but overall, in fantastic condition for early Feb.
Booking again for this weekend, definitely recommend a visit.

Tired Course
This normally attractive course is showing signs of wear and tear, and clear indications of overuse. Taking into consideration the wet weather of late the course does appear more worse for wear than other courses we have played recently. Not helped by numerous maintenance and remedial unfinished projects scattered around the course. Tee boxes mainly blocks of mud, fairways tinged mainly brown with mud, caused by trolley and buggy tracks. Greens saturated, and the fringes developing a muddy appearance. The call to stop buggies has come too late, the course gives the impression of being a sick patient during the winter in need of a break and some convalescence.Reviewer Rating

Poor day out
Heard a lot about this course but unfortunately the day didn't meet expectations, but it must be said not down to the course itself. Tee boxes were generally good with a couple of exceptions, greens need some attention on the majority of those we played. The bunkers were very poor, many with little sand, not helped by the recent wet weather which made them into mud baths. Fairways on the whole in good condition with a few buggies tracks visible, also some areas waterlogged which is to be expected. However the main issue we had was how busy the course was, and it seemed tee times were set to ridiculous intervals. We were held up on most holes starting on the temporary tee on the 2nd hole. From there it became a drag, not helped by the fact that nobody appeared to be interested in letting people play through. Also no signs of any marshals on the course, so gave the impression it was a general free for all. A lot of comments from golfers including members as we queued up ready to tee off, at one point we waited 15 minutes on one hole. By the time we got to the 14th hole with people queuing up the hill towards the tee we called it a day after over 4 hours. Such a pity that a beautiful course set in an ideal location, all be it with a lot of maintenance work required is spoilt by what seems amateurish organisation. Other golfers were complaining about the societies and weekend competitions that are causing issues but as a visitor it would be unfair to comment on this, but there is obviously some problems getting round the course in an acceptable time which needs to be addressed. Maybe somebody needs to take the course administration by the scruff of the neck and sort it out.Reviewer Rating

Crisp, dry but good value
The course like most is suffering from the hot weather, Tee boxes bare , uncut and in need of attention. Fairways dry but with good covering. Bunkers poor and unattended except holes 5 and 6. Greens also need a lot of work. Having said all that the course is picturesque, challenging and an absolute steal for value for many. The four of us agreed to definitely come back.Reviewer Rating

Overpriced than others nearby
Well laid out with trees in some strategic areas. Tees could do with some work and the greens need watering but the clubhouse patio that has just been built is a good additionReviewer Rating

Good value for money
Course drains very well so it’s a nice venue for a winter round. The greens are never going to amaze you but they always keep them in reasonable shape on a slim budget. The fairways are slow growing which requires minimal maintenance and the rough is always kept at a good length. The tees are in need of serious attention. They never seem to be cut to a reasonable height of cut, and for me all playing surfaces should be manicured for the busy weekend golf, yet that’s never the case. They have been working on the bunkers and they are good additions, but the rest of the bunkers remain in a state that requires attention. Considering what you pay for a membership though the place is a gem!Reviewer Rating

Ok greens terrible tees overall fair challenge
Tee boxes were awful, greens were good, fairways good. Interesting challenge, first 3/4 holes bit up and down with many players crossing 1 or even 2 fairways, rest of course interesting and some really good holes.Driving range is good for warm up and good putting green.
Club house, 3 girls serving, super slow, think must have been non regulars as didn't seem to know what's as going on.
