wonderful course. Well maintained and lovely condition. Some challenging, blind holes and lots of water making it a genuine challenge to play.

Played on 25/03 and have to say very disappointed. Started on Standing Stone. 1st hole 130 yard par 3 on a winter green...Not the greatest of starts but was willing to overlook. The fairways on all of the standing stone were disappointing and looked like they hadn't been cut for at least a week.
Back 9 we played the Dewlaw which started a lot better and looked in much better condition until we played the 3rd (which was our 12th). Lovely looking hole dogleg right par 4 around 350 yards however it was completely ruined by the hole being shortened to 170 yards using a winter green. I am using a winter green loosely as it was literally a hole in the middle of the fairway with a flag in it.
Course could be a lot better with a bit more maintenance and also signs to guide you to each hole as at times on the front 9 we had no idea where we were going as the Douglas and Standing Stone run side by side.
Wouldn't return in a hurry.

Course in great condition considering recent downpour. Some rough has been cleared but a fair bit is very long. Greens were vaired pace and a good challenge.

My last visit to Matfen Hall was 10 years ago, and at that time it was my favourite course in the area. 10 years later, I was really looking forward to this visit for our annual Christmas golf day.
Did the course live up to my expectations? Yes and no. Admittedly, it was a grey December day, but the course has not really changed at all in 10 years. Parts of it still feel very new but the Standing Stone 9 has some beautiful holes with great views of the hall and the large houses next to it.
All in all I would like to visit again in the summer on a sunny day as the views over the lake towards the hall are stunning and the course has some interesting holes withour being too tough for the handicap golfer.
Friendly staff in the bar rounded off a good afternoon and set us up nicely for our Christmas night out.
