Following extensive work on the fairways last year (2011) the course is now in fantastic condition mainly due to the hard work of the greens staff and the blessing of a wet summer! A brilliant test of golf with tree lined fairways waiting to punish the wayward drive. If you play to your handicap you have done well.

After 7 weeks of course closure due to the corona virus lockdown, it was a wonderful experience to play on fairways and greens that had been nurtured and cared for by 2 members of the greenkeeping team. Really top class course in a beautiful setting tucked away in this corner of Staffordshire.Reviewer Rating

Lovely course
Superb greens, tees and surrounds. I played this course back in October and the presentation is far superior to previous years. Fairways are still needing some rain yet so are most places. I shall be returning as it is a very good test of golf and not a hit where you like course.Reviewer Rating

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.

Great course
Played there this week and after a terrible winter I must say that the course is in super condition. My course (located with 20mins of this place) has been shut most of the winter and we still are way off the conditioning of Drayton. We even saw buggies out there which is incredible really after Decembers rain.Changing rooms was closed and temporary toilets had to be used due to refurb. Only 2 on offer but were clean.
Greens were simply stunning and really firm. Fairways, approaches and tees were well looked after. 3 mats had to be used and a carry only policy in force for holes 13 thru 18. Bunkers were smartly raked and nice to play out of.
Plenty of ropes to navigate around but in protection of the course it makes sense and certainly pays dividends.
We will be back and have to say, I would join if I lived closer.
Good pint of Guinness too

Quality course
You’ll struggle to find better greens all year round than here. Course improving year on year. Greens, teeing areas and Aprons are top notch. Fairways have improved dramatically since I played last year. Still a few issues to eradicate off the beaten track yet super value for money.Pro Shop has a decent stock and are nice chaps. The bar and patio has all been refurbished and look great.
The changing facilities are a little tired but didn’t spoil our fun.
