good course with variety of holes. greens extremely quick and tricky. have to mention wind in this review as on some greens it was almost impossible to stop the ball if putting down slope, on 8th green had 6ft uphill putt which went 4 inches past the cup and then rolled back to my feet. staff and members very friendly. food excellent

There's lots to like about this course and club, but some of the greens are just a bit silly: they're not challenging, they're just unreadable! Especially from pitching/ 9-iron distance, it's not fun to see your ball roll, slowly, inches past the hole and end up off the green! This is compounded by the greens also being very fast. The front and back nines are almost like two different courses: the first too hard and the second too easy! But it's very relaxed and friendly, and very scenic.

The greens are like glass. On the green in 2....and 5 putts. The ball often was on the way to the hole to within 2 feet and then it came right back down again to the exact spot you originally puted from. For uphill putts it is best to putt long and then risk a down hill putt on the way back. Not really an enjoyable way to play golf

despite having recently burnt down their club house this course is a good test for all levels - the back tees make some of the tee shots interesting to say the least - Local knowledge seriously helps on some holes as its not always clear exactly where the hole goes from the tee. Greens are average to good for this time of the year. If you don't like putting maybe not one for you as some of the greens have some challenging slopes!!!

Reviewed Jul 14 2008

The course in general was in good condition however there are very few hole guides at the tees on each hole so, having not played the course before, it meant 4 or 5 tee shots into the unknown in terms of hazards. Also signposting some of the less obvious tees would help for those new to the course.

The course is now £60 for a weekend round which is too much for the standard of the course in my opinion but they do take 2-fore-1 vouchers at the weekends so there is no need to pay £60. Visitors can just turn up at weekends as no booking is allowed for visitors but the course was not very busy when I played (probably because I played early on Captains day so maybe people were starting later than normal).

A good fry up in the friendly clubhouse finished off a good morning. Would go back but only armed with a 2-fore-1 voucher!

Worth a visit

First time playing Pavenham since mid 2017. Course is only a few miles from me, and used to be a regular venue when I was playing various County events. Whether they host many County events, I don't know, but the course is still fairly busy, and seems to have lots of members who do not like to let faster groups through. Yet again, I was in a 2 ball, following a 4 ball, and the only way we got through was when they all (4 ladies) went to use the loo after 9 holes, so we took the opportunity to pass them.

Course was looking good, very green after all the rain, but this also meant there was lots of clumps of cut grass lying around, which meant wayward drives occasionally took some finding. Greens have been worked on over the 6 years since I last played here, so that the slopes are not so ridiculous. It also helped that they were slower than usual, although still an acceptable pace. Various winter tees have been added (usually to the side of the grass tees), which has meant the removal of a number of trees which otherwise were ?in the way?. Generally the course was a lot tidier than previously, with paths and bridges having been worked on.

The only downside when we played was that because of a lot of rain in previous weeks, there were a number of areas of standing water, and therefore lots of flying insects. We seemed to be continuously surrounded by gnats!

The bar was quite quiet when we were there. Prices seemed about usual for a golf club, and my playing partner?s wife (who joined us after) was quite impressed not only with the prices, but also the food on offer.

Good course but slow play.

Very busy in the mornings. Parkland course with holes in all compass directions. Testing par threes. Pace of play makes it difficult for elderly.

Worth a visit.

Several years since I was a corporate member here. The course condition has improved and the new plantings will improve it further. A challenging course for the mid handicapper. Fast greens, beautifully manicured. Sculpted fairways. Overall a great place for a walk.

Bueatiful kept course

Played this course on 29/05/2021. Course was in excellent condition, with greens and fairways neatly cut. Play quite regularly here and would highly recommend even if some of the greens are quite difficult. Staff are always exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Only downside is it gets quite busy and so can sometimes be a bit slow.

Course changes seal of approval

During lockdown changes have been made to the course. The 10th and 11th have seen the biggest changes, with the old tee reopened on the 10th providing a new angle to the fairway through trees and over a pond. 2 new fairway bunkers and 2 new greenside bunkers add to the challenge. The 11th has 3 new bunkers on what was already a strong par 3. A new winter tee for the par 3 8th has also been added, completely changing the hole. All this at what is one of the friendliest clubs around.

Great test of putting

They say if you can putt here you can putt anywhere and that always holds true. Target the correct side of the pin and you will be happy to stroke your putt. Wrong side and the yips comes a knocking. Course is always improving as more tees have been relaid and new bridges added.
