Great Course
Pleasington has been on my 'to play' list for a while now but I was slightly reluctant due to the, fairly, high price and negative reviews which I had read. However, I now regret not playing it sooner. The course is fantastic. The greens were immaculate, some of the scenery (especially on the front 9) was breathtaking and the layout provided a fun yet challenging test of golf. Other than the fact that I played the first 5 holes like someone who'd never swung a golf club before, I'm struggling to think of anything negative to say. I'll definitely play it again and, now I know the course somewhat, hopefully I'll play a little bit better. I highly recommend.Reviewer Rating

Played beginning of Sept in light rain after wet spell the week before.
Played from white tees, didn't go into clubhouse which looked nice from the outside. Course is not overly long of particularly difficult, its defence largely in narrowish fairways and the greens which are not small but were in good condition and I suspect are quite quick and tricky in the dry. Lots of changes in elevation on parts of the course which is set in great scenery. Be prepared for a number of blind tee shots (a pet peeve of mine) which are a pain on first time of playing, especially the par 5 7th where i hit a drive straight at the marker post and lost the ball when 2 it needed a hybrid. Fairways and bunkers all in good nick, rough lush but fine.
I'm a member elsewhere and enjoyed the round but I'd say 3 things about paying a green fee as a member, only one of which is about this club.
1. I was allowed to play from the white tees but asked to play the par 3s from the yellows when there seemed ti be no good reason for that. This can only be because they want to preserve the white tees for comps (uo yours, visitors)
2. Even though it's the going rate, £50 is still a lot for 4 hours of golf on a decent golf course. This isn't Pleasington's fault and they probably don't need the money as much as some but this will price out many.
3. The club has a blue tee set but I wasn't given the opportunity to play from it. As a cat 2 golfer I'm not going to chew the course up and in 2020 more clubs need to be providing all their tee sets for competent visitors. I know this isn't a popular view but this needs to change.
4/5. Enjoyed my day and the course which I'd happily play again. 1 point deducted for being made to play from yellow tees on the par 3s.

Nice course, great greens.
Visited Pleasington for the first time early Jan. Nice varied mix of holes and surprisingly undulated course. The greens were very good, the Par 3s deserve mention as they were all very good. Not the warmest of welcomes from the young lad in the pro shop who was more interested in playing games on his phone than welcoming visitors!Reviewer Rating

Challenging Course
Interesting and challenging course with some unusual holes - definitely worth a visit but just make sure you control your Tee shots otherwise you'll be in trouble !! Greens were in great condition.Reviewer Rating

A real must visit for food and service.
Great course, I have only played here a couple of times, and always find it a real pleasure. The weather was really good, the greens were really good and the course was a real test. I played quite poorly but enjoyed the round.(Round played: May 2018 - Score: 106 Handicap: 16.3)

Wet but good
A fantastically laid out golf course with some challenging blind shots & a couple of quirky holes (You definitely need someone who knows the course first time round). It probably misses a really challenging par 3, but overall very good.It was very wet, but I thought the greens were pretty good considering. Only 1 winter green.
The welcome from the pro's, the staff & the members was excellent & the steak pie after the game was superb.
The weather & the conditions spoiled the game, but I'd like to see this course in the summer.

A great course with some stunning views and a couple of stunning holes. The scenery from the 14th tee is breath taking. There are blind tee shots and drivable par 4s. The par 5 alongside the train track is a great hole demanding an accurate shot off the tee.

Round played on a wet and windy day, but course was still in great condition. Bunkers were brutal, lots of them and with very heavy sand, must've cost me 10 shots. Would definitely come back on a drier day.
