I was greeted by friendly and welcoming staff upon my arrival at the golf club, I didn't know that there was a driving range and par 3 so before my round warmed up. The greens on the golf course where in excellent condition and on some holes very fast and tricky, especially on the back nine. I would play it again probably on a winter special or at there off peak times

Fynn Valley is a course which is attractive for the low handicapper, because it is challenging to score well, but also fun for the high handicap golfer because there are enough open spaces to allow recovery from wayward shots. The quality of the greens is first class. The club atmosphere is friendly and inclusive.

Despite lack of rain the fairways were good and the greens excellent. Each year with maturity the course improves. Well done to the Staff who maintain the course.

Great little Par 3
The Par 3 9 Hole at Fynn Valley is great. Costing only £10 in the week and taking about an hour it is challenging and requires you to know the yardage of your irons. Great course and well maintainedReviewer Rating

Nice course worth a visit
Nice course worth a visit if you are in the area. we were unfortunate to play a pair who were very slow and would not let us through but it did not spoil our enjoyment. Course played well, some very interesting holes, especially in the wind which was quite strong at times. Greens good, had nice afternoon. All staff were helpful and friendly. Would recommend and would play again when in the area.(Round played: Oct 2021 - Score: 94 Handicap: 20.8)

A bit of a mixed bag. Excellent facilities, including a driving range, and friendly staff. Course was tight on some holes but open on others, so a fair test of golf. Played during the first decent spell of weather all year and although the fairways and tee boxes were excellent, it was clear they were still preparing the greens for the summer season. Roughly 2/3 had a sand mixture on the surface making them unattractive, slow, and inconsistent. At £18 off peak it was a fair price and I'll play the course again, I just hope that all the work on the greens will have finished.

Well, if you building an extension and you are short of some sand and ballast, there is plenty in the bunkers. Despite the wettest summer for years, someone seems to have dug the greens up and laid concrete instead. Nice layout,some really good holes, too many doglegs though, but the electricity pylons were a bit unnerving

Only downside were the bunkers which were truly shocking. Full of stones and in need of a good rake to fluff the sand up. Only disappointment

At £34.00 for a round on a Saturday at the end of February for such a distinctly average golf course is a rip off, I would expect the winter green fee here to be nearer £20.00 for value for money. Adding insult to injury are the numerous adverts around the course saying 2 course meat and 18 holes for £22.50 Monday to Friday!
The front 9 is pretty dull with few holes offering any real interest, the second 9 makes this course, far better designed holes and more pleasurable to play. (For the record I shot the same score on front and back 9 so this is not a rose tinted view).
The course does not drain very well and given the recent rainy season it showed as drives frequently landed and stopped almost instantly. The greens were reasonable, medium paced I'd say (unless putting down some of the severe slopes) with a few unexpected bobbles, I'll put this down to foot prints in the soft turf, should be a lot better in dryer times)
Overall, I'd play this course again in good conditions but at this price I'd give it a miss this time of year.
