No Signage
The course itself and club facilities where great - my big gripe was the awful lack of signage for guests whom don't know their way around the course. The walk to the Badminton course is a good 10 minutes from the club house and the lack of signage made our walk 20 minutes.this was the same for then finding the start of the the Hollows course. And a course guide would also of been helpful but again they didn't have one. For a club that seems to encourage societies it really lets itself down in helping people who are not playing with members.

Played today (25/6/13) warm sunny weather. Fairways and greens very high standard. Two signature holes over water. Only complaint on some holes it is not easy to see fairway from tee so unclear as to best approach. Will play again.

Excellent Golf Facility
I played the Hollows-Ruffet combination which was the original main course.Modern US-style course with water in play on several holes, surrounded by wooden sleepers.... think 17th @ Sawgrass! Fun course to play & great condition. Good finishing hole with a severely undulating green in front of the clubhouse to concentrate the mind!

On arrival staff were friendly and I was received well. Bacon bap to start was very good. On the whole the course was laid out and tended well with some challenging holes. Take some extra balls if your direction is not that accurate as the water obstacles and bushes will steal them from you and hide them rather well. There may be a slight delay where the two nine holes courses meet however it was a very good days golf. Well worth a visit.

I played 36 holes at the Kendleshire for a society day, and despite the atrocious weather I was very pleased.
The car park could do with a little better signage for where it wants you to park, but is of good size and distance from the clubhouse. The clubhouse is fairly small, but modern and well designed, with a good changing room and ample bar space to sit in. The patio outside is of good size and provides a great view to the holes around.
The course is very well designed, with plenty of holes with a choice of how to play them, it certainly isn't a course where you want your driver every hole, but is long enough to be a challenge. the greens were magnificent, true and still quite quick even in the heavy rain we had, I can only imagine how good they would be in the dry. They are USPGA spec and certainly live up to the reputation.
A good course that I would love to play again in the dry.

Long walk to the Badminton 9 holes and greens are crazy golf style compared to the rest of the course. As its a 27 hole course, its unclear when you move 9 holes who is next off the tee if groups are arriving to play the 1st hole in a 9 along with those using it as their back 9. You do get a back 9 tee time but clearly you either are early and need to wait or late and miss it so not ideal.

A truely beautiful course with some challenging holes, the Kendleshire is a test for all standards of golf. Green staff deserve a special mention as they have clearly invested a great deal of time and attention to ensure the course is in tip top condition. The Pro Shop staff were extremely accommodating and did all they could to make our visit as memorable as possible. It worked, I loved the course and would travel from Hampshire (where I live) to play it again if invited.

We played 10-27 on Sat 22nd Aug 09 and found the greens and fairways in very good condition, the greens being fast but holding if you hit a good approach. A very enjoyable course with 3 combinations using the 27 holes. There's water on each of the three 9's, several of the greens are approached over water so bring your 'A' game!!

We played a three ball here on Monday in misserable weather. The course however was really nice and in great condition. We played 1 through 18 and encountered some challenging holes. The course is long and with the weather conditions played even longer. Usefull halfway house at hole 10 that can can ring when you tee off to ensure food is ready. Lack of signs is an issue and no map on score card so I would download info from their website. Well worth playing just make sure you have a few spare balls as there is a lot of water.

A well kept course, greens were receptive, fairways cut well. You need to course manage well as it punishes any miss hit drives (especially if you are a big hitter). The holes around the water are really nice and have to be thought through especially when windy. Well worth a visit if you have a county card which they take at weekends.
