Challenging but is it fair?

Firstly, loved the views and the people there were very friendly. However, it is a course that needs a guide because if I hit a fairway straight in the middle I expect it to stay on the fairway! Too much hunting for balls that were only just off line. Greens were unresponsive to even the most delicate chip as i found myself off the back on numerous occasions. Not for me I'm afraid!

Slightly Disappointing

Played here October .2020.

I don't know what it was but i was expecting something a little bit more .Make no mistake it's a good golf experience with it's elevated location & far reaching views & is something completely different to manicured parkland courses .However ,i played Church Stretton the day before which blew me away but this one didn't .
It felt a bit like a war of attrition with the wind .Overall , i think it was because of it being the highest course in England , while there were a couple of memorable holes , i was expecting there to be more & for me there were a few too many holes that were a bit forgettable .

Also, there were a few too may tees where we were playing off the ladies & despite teeing off late morning ,maybe we were just unlucky on that day but we had to wait on every shot from the 6th hole to the end .This was what i was trying to avoid when booking with the pro but he seemed a bit impatient when i was trying to establish times of play that wouldn't be busy .

There are no bunkers & with grassy hollows /craters around some greens ,with the wind as well ,they are just hard to hit ( i.e. the 9th & 12th ) .
Cosy clubhouse .
Overall ,with the views this was a good golf experience & i would say to anyone who hasn't played it to play it but for me having now played it & not living locally i'm not sure if i would make the effort to play it again .

Played 31/10/13 the greens and lay out of the course is great a fantastic inland links the staff are very welcoming and friendly. However i have just spent the last 2 hours clearing the sheep droppings from all my kit it is everywhere except the greens and i mean everywhere the fairways are covered in it this makes a very good course into a good/average course i don't mind sheep on a course but the fairway should surly reward good play and not be covered in droppings

A good challenge

This is an interesting course and the highest in England. It was rather wet yesterday and windy on the top of the hills. The course was in good condition considering recent rain. The greens were true and a good speed but some of the fairways were unbelievably uneven making clean shots quite difficult when in the many hollows. You need to be quite fit as most holes go up or downhill.The clubhouse was friendly with good food and drinks.

Super views start to finish, great fun

Loved it start to finish. Accepted there has been a lot of work done to hollow-tine the greens and many tonnes of sand have been put on the greens......quite sure the result with be top notch greens....but not great today - but we accept that. I spoke to one of the pros who said they are fast (14) in summer, which sounds terrifying to me! I'll be back in the summer to see.

So ignoring the bobbly/sandy greens my playing partner and I both agreed we'll return.

It's 1 hr 45 mins from Redditch where I live but i can see myself playing when virtually all the courses get closed/waterlogged in the winter - this will definitely not. The fairways are firmer than a links course.

The views are spectacular. My playing partner had his phone out for photos on every hole!

Not a long course but you need to be straight with the driver to avoid the ferns as you will not be finding that lost ball. Although there are no bunkers it's a real test of your short game with incredible run offs and steep banks around some greens. So I think this is a better test of golf than most parkland courses.

So go test your golfing skills!

We had a discounted round of £17 pp and enjoyed a buggy for £25, that was a good choice!
