hilly with fantastic views

Windy, clear day with bright sunshine. Every hole has a different challenge. Good greens, quite fast. Wicked, grabby, long rough. Enjoyable round

Perfect conditions

For October. Best time to play such an exposed course is when the sun is out & no wind. However due to the course being in an environmentally protected area the rough was ruthless & whispy grass from a distance was anything but when the ball went off line. Greens fast enough & played very well but hard to hold it. Will keep on trying because it’s a brilliant challenge.

Novel course design

Not played here before. Very hilly course built across public land over and across the local hills. No hole is flat. Tee offs are either uphill to the green or down to the green. Some deep valleys cut across fairways. The rough is awful. Not on the fairway, play a provisional. Walking from green to tee on the 16th(?) is an uphill climb of some 70 ft and 200 yds. Not for the unfit. I would never have finished the course without a buggy. Local rule is that you have to have a medical condition to hire one. You will have one when you finish.

Challenging course - very long rough

We found the course in good condition but there was very long rough which meant we were looking for balls and losing balls - unfair challenge - not rushing back to play here!

A fun challenge

Played April 2023. Royston golf course is a heathland-based course and is one of the hillier courses that I've played. Weather conditions on the day were poor, with rain/drizzle for the front 9 and strong winds for the back 9. Despite this, it was a truly enjoyable experience. The course provided a fun challenge that kept me on my toes throughout the entire round.
Each hole presents a unique set of challenges. The fairways were well maintained and the greens were really well cared for. The course demands a broad range of skills, making it an excellent challenge for golfers of all levels. Despite the poor weather, the course is situated at
a higher altitude than much of the surrounding area, thereby offering some stunning views of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. My understanding is that the rough can become particularly challenging through the summer months.

The practice facilities near the clubhouse are reasonable and include a pair of nets, a well-maintained putting green, and short game practice area comprising three holes

Back again and this time with wind

Very dry linksy type course. Plenty of hills and mostly playing into the breeze for front 9. Tess good condition, Greens good. Aveerage to faster pace and middle section of holes had more undulating greens. Spectacular views to the West.

Uplifting & great views

Great to be back & if I lived closer I?d join. It's a great course with proper challenges & views to lift your spirits & you certainly feel you've earned that drink at the 19th. Can't wait to get back. Only minor drawback is that the kitchen was closed

Brilliant links style inland course full of quirk

Very hilly, very tough without prior knowledge of how to play holes, but regardless super fun. Was firm and fast and about as enjoyable a round as you can get for £35.

Tough Course

In yardage terms you would be forgiven for thinking it should be relatively easy. However, throw in some wind and rain this course is a test for anyone.

Mr

A scenic heathland links golf course with panoramic views over three counties - this course is both a test of your golf & your fitness.The sloping fairways make good ball-striking essential to post a decent score.
Most of the Par 4's are not overlong but the well-kept greens are smallish targets & have subtle breaks to navigate.
Overall a thoroughly enjoyable course which will play well all year round.
