Bucket List Course

Fortunate to have now played Ganton several times - yes it's out of the way but make the trip, you won't be disappointed. Different to most courses you'll play, feels like a links course in places with the sand/gorse, feels parkland elsewhere with the trees/pheasants. some great holes.

Friendly welcome from staff. Nice clubhouse and practice facilities. Unfortunately found the course to be somewhat overrated. Surprised to see this better ranked than courses like Notts, West Sussex, Woking, etc. Price removed from the review it’s an overall nice course however too many negatives for us for the value. Fairways patchy, nothing on tee box to say which hole you’re on (or on the scorecard), no hole layout boards to know which way to go or hazards, bunkers are best feature and dramatic yet no consistency with sand plus greens very slow but good condition m. Very much a hit the fairway or you’re out the game golf course. Thin line of semi rough then unplayable gorse throughout. No real amazing signature holes although most are good in their own right. Sorry... not sure what the fuss is all about with this one, just didn’t get it. Hopefully others find it more enjoyable

Great history, but ?110 ?

When you arrive at Ganton GC its almost like you can feel the history oozing from the clubhouse and the neatly cared for course as you drive between the holes on the approach. We were greeted by the Club Secretary, who was a lovely guy, and we proceeded to pay our ?110 each for a round on a course which seemed completely empty. Having prepared for the no shorts unless you have long socks on rule (need reviewing for summer) we came suitably dressed unlike some of the other chaps arriving who had to change. The course itself is immaculate, the tees and greens absolutely lovely. The bunkers are very very deep and need avoiding. We were very surprised that the course didn't seem to have many "signature" type holes for the money we were paying. I personally was really disappointed on the 18th tee when a groundsman who was blowing away leaves right next to the tee box did not stop as we went to tee off, on a course such as this that is just unacceptable. He seemed disinterested in the golfers ... etiquette is something you expect lots of on a course with such history. Anyway, overall our experience was good, but for ?110 we expected it to be amazing and contend with some of the other expensive courses we have played like the Brabazon (much better) and Hollinwell (best ever). We would only ever return if we paid much less, just like the golfers we met at various East Coast courses in the days afterwards who could not believe we paid ?110 each.

Worth a visit

Worth a visit with some tight fairways and tricky greens. It's a bit like a Links course, some of the greens were not upto standard for the price. Only downside for me was the last holes are played over the road which I didn't like.
Definitely course knowledge is a must.

Best course I?ve played this year.

Unique experience, best described as an inland links course! Very well bunkered, a real challenge.

Top class course

Second time playing Ganton and still a tough one to conquer. Great practice facilities, nice clubhouse. Course in usual immaculate condition if a little dry in places. Greens quite true but not as quick as last visit. One or two bunkers found lacked sand in them and tough to get out of (that's my excuse anyway). Some great thinking holes, need to keep it straight as rough is penal

An outstanding course which was a delight to play. It a shame my short game failed me. Plenty of gorse bushes and the deepest 120 bunkers I've seen on a course. The tees were well laid and all is very highly maintained. Green were so good and the best course I've played. The club house has a history of golf and the place has some real golfing pedigree and quality which is reflected in its tee prices.
