Magnificent
Absolutely stunning as a course, never played before but always wanted to, enjoyed the challenge of tight fairways, hundreds of bunkers and great greens it’s a round you need to be accurate and think your way around.We really enjoyed it
Only downside it’s a tad pricey but as a treat why not

The Ultimate Golfing Challenge in Gusty Wind
We got lucky with the rainy weather easing and the wind gusting up so that the course bared its teeth and became a great challenge for us mid handicappers.The fairways were good (despite hearing bad reports) and the greens were tremendous. We ended up in a few of the bunkers where our head was below the lip, which was good for the experience, but generally played well and avoided them. Probably the ultimate challenge because the course plays fairer than the Open links venues, the difference is the fairways run true and don’t have the random bumps you can get in links, shooting good shots off into rough or bunkers. The wind was brutal though, gusting around and several times we had 50 yards of sideways movement from only slightly faded shots. If you accidentally go left or right you are punished - as you should be.
A few holes offered particular challenges. A few good risk reward short par 4s, easy to lay up but potentially brutal if too ambitious. Several doglegs where depending on your length the straight shot may play better than trying a big fade or draw around the corner - risk reward again. The 18th is a great closer, particularly if needing a par - drive too far left and although on the fairway a huge hook may be needed around a big tree.
The starter and pro shop were friendly, the clubhouse though was old fashioned and a big disappointment. A small lounge with phone numbers on the tables to order drinks or food from the kitchen in a socially distanced way (a modern open plan bar area would have been better). The beer was ordinary and we only had one and made an exit.
The course furniture was minimal, which added to the atmosphere, but did make it tricky knowing where to go (though the next tee is fairly obvious throughout). Coloured tee posts with the stroke index on (but not the hole) are the only furnishings.
Finally, we had the unique experience of watching a greenkeeper change the hole position while we waited - never seem that during an afternoon before, and those sideways moving green ironing ride-ons, I gotta get me one of those!

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.Reviewer Rating

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(Round played: Jun 2018 - Score: 83 Handicap: 5.5)

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.
