Could be a lovely course but greens are poorly maintained and very long and slow.

Course was lovely, well designed and mature. Greens were patchy which was the only aspect that let this course down.

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.

First played Farthingstone last year and was keen to get back there again.
Layout remains the same, with some challenging holes, either through distance or narrow fairways. There are also enough opportunities for 'birdies', to make your round interesting.
Ground was still a little 'boggy', in places, but the greens were in really good condition and certainly sped up as the sun got warmer.
A good challenge and I think you can play the course many times before becoming too used to the layout, or bored with the round.

Great track in countryside
Hidden in countryside down long winding lane, this is a parkland course with varied holes some hilly, few doglegs and every hole unique. Played in four all and throughly enjoyed challenge of it, greens needed some attention though have had lot of summer use and rains of late, worth a visitReviewer Rating

I was a member here when young and the course has matured well over the last 2 years. The layout is good and there are some interesting holes that can be challenging. Due to its location, it feels very quiet and as though you have the course to yourself which is good.
The greens are mentioned in other reviews are patchy though this didn't affect my enjoyment and I have seen much worse. The course generally though was in good condition.
Overall an enjoyable round, very nice setting for a summer evening and good value for money.
