Open Qualifying course - very good
I usually only get to play this course in their Senior Open in June, which fills up very quickly because it is so popular, but my employers hold their Spring Meeting here again after trying other courses for a few years, when the prices went up here. As all prices have moved in the same direction, we are back again, with usually 30 to 40 golfers ranging from scratch up to about 25. Playing in March, we were off their green tees (winter yardages, but still playing long with no real run on the ball).It is a real challenge, which is why it is usually an Open Qualifier. The course is well laid out, and the greens (holes 10 to 14) on the other side of the railway line at the start of the back 9 seem to have more wicked slopes than the other holes, and those greens/holes can easily ruin a good round. After all the rain we've had this Winter; there were a few areas roped off to stop too much damage to the ground, and this has worked perfectly, with the course looking in very good order. Greens were a little slower than they usually are, but for me this made them very playable, although the slopes did lead to at least 3 instances of 3 putts!
A few years ago; there was some work done to reduce trees and gorse, which has improved the look, but may have reduced the difficulty. Talking with a member I played with at their 2023?s Senior Open, they saw a marked improvement in usage of the clubhouse, and the staff are renowned for being friendly and helpful. The food on offer has always been good, fresh and plenty of it, and the clubhouse facilities are first class.
There are a number of public footpaths, and occasionally, the local neighbours don't look where they are going, and can wander in front of golfers.
Love playing here, and my hope to do it justice finally came to fruition this year when I was just one over my 13 handicap, and got in the prizes for the first time here, which I was hoping to do before I get too old to reach the long par 4's in regulation. Despite the age thing, I'm still looking forward to playing again in their 2024 Senior Open in June.

Fantastic course must visit
I played the course just after Open Qualifying and was told the course has never been in better condition. They weren't wrong, it was quite honestly faultless - reminded me of Hollinwell in places and all the best courses in Surrey - In that condition, this course walks into the top 50 in EnglandReviewer Rating

Open qualifier course - very good
I don't get to play this course nearly enough. It is a real challenge, which is why it is usually an Open Qualifier. Usually play in their Senior Open which fills up very quickly because it is so popular. The course is well laid out, although the greens on the other side of the railway line at the start of the back 9 holes seem to have some wicked slopes on the greens which can easily ruin a good round. There have been some work done to reduce trees and gorse, which has improved the look, but may have reduced the difficulty. The natives are friendly, although one or two of the neighbours who use the public footpaths don't seem to have any idea that they also need to look out for golfers, not just the other way round! The food on offer has always been good, fresh and plenty of it, and the clubhouse facilities are first class.

Lovely lovely lovely
First time playing the main course. What a joy to behold. Even after endless rains no puddles or muddy fairways, even buggies on the course! This is a special place. Fantastic fairways, aprons better than most courses greens and a lot more undulating than I imagined. It is long this time of year with little run out off your drives. Lots of slopes both fairways and greens, but all in lovely condition. It makes you think which is good. Relatively wide for the most part but far from easy. It must be a brute in the summer with greens running quick but I will be back. Good pro shop staff. Yes some of the older members are a bit ‘old school’ and can give the club a bad elitist feel but ignore those and this is just a great course.Reviewer Rating

Superb course, but disappointing greens
An excellent venue for golf, but spoiled slightly yesterday by very slow greens, which bordered on pay and play standard as well as attitude of members with two of our party asked to tuck shirts in, with one gentleman not even in the clubhouse, but stood in the golf shop.A great place that was spoiled a little

Shear delight even in the rain
I always thought this course would be too difficult for a high handicapper. Some of the fairways were narrower than what I usually play on, but with some careful play, i didnt venture into the rough too much. Despite on and off rain, I thoroughly enjoyed playing here, and the clubhouse was very welcoming and food great. As the course is ten minutes from where I live, I would love to join, not many courses have this affect on me, I will have to persuade the wife, that it would be a good investment for me to joinReviewer Rating

Excellent course in great condition. Tough challenge for all golfers with a particularly tough closing four holes, a tough 167 yd par 3 (15), a long 426 yd par 4 with very undulating green (16), another tough par 4 - especially off the whites (460 yds vs 404 off the yellows) with another sloping green and finally a shortish, but tricky par 5. All three final holes often play into the wind! Top tip, everything, greens, fairways etc slope in towards the railway line that bisects the course.(Round played: Jul 2017 - Score: 89 Handicap: )

Nice course, very poor attitude
Played this mid-June after a few days golf before in the Nottingham area.The course does not compare to Sherwood Forest, Notts or Coxmoor but is perfectly fine with some very interesting greens.Our visit however was ruined by 2 things:
1. The club offered us a Monday deal with a reduced green fee plus food and a drink after our game. They knew what time we were starting and the lady in the clubhouse explained the deal to me before we played. When we finished we were told the chef had left so no food was available. Nothing. Nada. No offer of a free drink either. They were just not bothered.
2. We played this course on the very very hot weekend in June and it was sweltering. One of our group (a 9-handicapper from a very respectable course) had his shirt partially untucked as he walked off the 18th green. Out of the clubhouse jumped an old codger who promptly took a photo of him and told him to dress appropriately. When informed that we had seen other members in a similar state of dress, he was told that they would also get a "strong talking to". The member then went back into the club house and sat at a table looking out with his camera by him. We don't know if this is actually legal (we are beyond caring) but this stuffy and downright rude behaviour belongs in a club from several decades ago.
Needless to say they will not be taking any more of our money (£500) for our group and we will not return.

Reviewed Jun 30 2017
Played in late June in their Senior Open, and it was good to get some run on the ball and feel like I could reach the longer par 4's reasonably easily. It was a roasting hot day when we played, and they had iced drinks in the 'half-way house' which we passed 3 times in total. The greens were running true, but many of us could not cope with the slopes, and there were various reports of people 4 putting a number of them! Until someone pointed it out to me, I had not realised that there are a lot of right to left slopes on many holes (including the greens).
The food was good, and all in all we were well looked after on the day. The value for money of their Senior Open is undoubted, although I am unaware of the charges outside of this competition, except to say that the 'society' I play in which used to visit in Spring moved courses this year because of the increased cost of playing Northamptonshire County GC.
