Fairways are shocking
Just read the comments below (obviously from a loyal member) saying "don't listen to the reviews the fairways are fine". As someone who has just left because of the condition of the course I can categorically say that are not fine. This course has a long standing issue with the fairways and they are absolutely shocking. Even spring/summer I was placing on the fairways to ensure I had a decent surface to play off.The bunkers are even worse. Full, and I mean full of stones with hardly any sand. This club are in serious denial and hold a very inflated opinion of themselves and their club.
I have to give credit to the greens, aprons and tees. They are immaculate.
The pro shop staff are also very welcoming and helpful too. Bit that's about it.
No booking system, no spike bar, antiquated rules, slow play and a boring up and down every hole course will await you

Oct 2019, fairways were very poor, uncut and bare in many places.
Greens decent, locker rooms need upgrade.

Joined a year ago , course was stunning. They then had the fairways done, and placing on the fairways ever since from April to October. Shame wrecked a beautiful course. I agree with the other review At first I found the club & some of the members to be "shall we say not very welcoming"I may fit in as a 7 day lady member in about 7 years time so decided to leave . however a nice traditional club house, friendly staff, and would do anything for you food wise

Course layout a little boring...a lot of the longer holes just straight with trees left and right !!
Tired, needs a lot of work...fairways have very little grass...greens slow (maybe as pre-season)
(Round played: Mar 2019 - Score: 94 Handicap: 17.1)

I have now played this tricky tree bound course on several occasions. I enjoy the layout but it can become waterlogged both on the fairways & the greens very quickly. At first I found the club & some of the members to be "shall we say not very welcoming" but it as improved. A nice traditional club house.

First time playing this course, we had a Friday afternoon 4-ball scramble at Drayton Park GC and had v.good weather. The course is in great condition despite the need of rain. Greens were immaculate and were playing really quick and true.
The course/afternoon was great, but marred by a member who told us that "we were holding the course up by 'struggling/practicing round the course" and requested to play through (we were waiting at the next tee for them to play through). We all play golf regualry and all hold handicaps from 18-20; we were playing within the rules in terms of playing speed. For some it ruined what was a pleasant afternoon out. For the record - other members we spoke to were pleasant.
Based on this - I wouldn't return and would opt to play Aston Wood or Lichfield GC, played at both this a number of times and have never experienced 'commentary' from members.

Worth a visit
I played in an Open and my golf was rubbish.Set alongside Drayton Manor Park and Zoo in Staffordshire, you'll find a gated car park which in turn takes you to the clubhouse. I visited the Pro shop and was warmly greeted and directed to the bar and locker room. The course is set up as two loops of nine both finishing at the clubhouse
A decent sized putting green along side the halfway house with a couple of practice nets.
The course didn't have a wow factor, but it was in good condition and the greens ran true. Not overly long but the emphasis should be on staying on the fairways as wayward shots do get punished. A relatively flat course makes for an easy walk and the tees were quite close from the preceding green.
Back at the 19th there is an option for waiter/waitress service for drinks on the patio as spikes are not permitted in the bar area.

Start with the greeting: pro is excellent and super helpful along with all the staff.
Course: March 2017 - in very good condition, greens OK a little short for condition but putted well. Layout didn't wow me, and my visit after 29yrs ago was disappointing.
£25 for 18 holes with chips, sandwiches after still a bargain.
