Nice parkland course
Farthingstone is a really nicely laid out parkland golf course.It's challenging & quite tight in places, so it's not always best to take driver off every tee.
There are some serious undulations so it can also be a challenging walk, but this does lead to some nice views.
All the staff are great, if I'm honest the hotel needs a bit of work, but the golf course is well worth a visit.

Surprised me
I was pleasantly surprised by Farthingstone. I played many years ago & didn't have great memories, but I was wrong.It's a great lay out with some fantastic holes, many of them tree lined & a good number of clever dog legs, water hazards & green placements.
It's a test for a decent golfer, yet I could see a novice still enjoying a round here.
For the time of year it was in fantastic condition, particularly the bunkers, which were superb.
I have to be honest, the hotel is looking tired & needs a few quid spending on it, but the staff were superb & couldn't do enough for you. However you have to balance that off against a fantastic DBB rate, which included 4 pints!!
All in all an excellent parkland course, just needs the hotel to back it up.

Good price for the course
?25 for a round is a good price for a round in this area, greens aren't great but playable. Extremely wet week before we played so course was understandable sodden in places.Reviewer Rating

Hilly cousre
A very hilly course but with some good holes. The fairways could have done with a cut as some were pretty long but the weather has not been great up to now so could well be the reason for keeping the mowers off until it firms up a bit. Greens are OK but slow. They do have some good holes with elevated tee box's and having to carry ponds or lay up. You will get plenty of up/down hill lies as well. The pro was super friendly and helpful. Overall not bad but not the best, will visit again in the summer and see how much it changes with the fairways and greens.Reviewer Rating

Very challenging course - ideal for societies with an overnight stay. Facilities include pool, snooker and squash as well as a bar and lots of seating with DBB option.

Greens in poor condition alongwith the bunkers. Around the clubhouse the gardens etc could benefit from some care and attention.
