Very disappointing
A very disappointing visit today having played a few years ago this course sadly has been let down badly by staff neglect. The clubhouse, shop and staff were all friendly enough but where it matters i.e. on the course it was in a very poor state presented to play. No maintenance on the trees and shrubs made it very tight and almost blind in places to play your ball. The course obviously need rain but the greens were some of the worse played for many a year by our society.(Round played: Sep 2021 - Score: 99 Handicap: 18.7)

Total Rubbish
Greens in terrible condition. Don't waste your money. I was really looking forward to getting back to golf after the lockdown. Farthingstone was the only local club that had tee time, and I can see why. I have no idea what the green staff were doing over the break but it was nothing to do with the course. Fairways needed cutting but the greens are truly terrible. They had been cored (fair enough it needs doing) but the amount of sand over the top was a joke, way too much and it was in mounds and not spread out properly. Maybe this was to try and cover up the mountain like surface they had. You could not take putting seriously on them. They even had cutting left on them!! The course is a nice layout, hilly but with a good mixture of holes. Just a massive shame no one looks after it. If you just want to hit balls on a course then its ok but if you want to 'play golf' its best avoided, which is a shame.Reviewer Rating

I have been organising society days for a number of years and never had any problems. For the first time ever I decided to try using teeofftimes and have been seriously let down by them but more so Farthingstone who clearly cannot be bothered to update the system. I booked and paid for the golf 8 days before we were due to play. I kept waiting for the confirmation to come through which still had not happened the day prior to us playing. Got in touch with teeofftimes only for them to say that Farthingstone could not offer us a tee time in the morning as booked and that we would have to wait until 2pm. Absolute rubbish! I now have to contact everyone else letting them know of our new arrangements

Fairways to close to each other,have to walk a gauntlet of balls from other holes.
Greens terrible state, either bald patches or full of moss.

The course needs alot of care! Most bunkers were either GUR or full of small stones. Most greens are very poor and all need alot of TLC. The actual course design is very good! There are very well placed oak trees and ponds accross the course that requires you to think about your shot choice, as well as open holes that let you open your shoulders. This course could have the potential to be a real gem but the poor upkeep lets it down drastically.

Get in quick
You need to get in quick, as it closes at the end of the year. The hotel is being taken over & the new owners don't want a golf course!!!!!!It's a crying shame as it's an absolutely superb layout, just needed a bit of money spending on maintenance.
Too late now. Another good golf course bites the dust due to poor investment.
