Open "Links" type course, very hilly, worth a visit

First time visiting this course, very open and hilly, wouldn't want to visit on a windy/wet day.
Some interesting holes, as a first time visitor playing a number of holes a bit blind. got an acceptable 30 points, playing off a 25 handicap.

Proper golf course, miles from the sea!

Royston is a stunner. Carved into the side of a hill, it is a tough walk but we'll worth it for the sheer joy of the holes you are presented with. Blind shots, elevated tees and knee length grass if you miss the generous fairways make it a harsh but fair test on what is fundamentally an inland links course. You'll probably get a better score the second time you play it unless you play with someone who knows their way around. If the wind blows, you might want to pack a few extra balls.

Highly recommended.

Excellent Course

Course was in excellent condition & was played in a slight breeze with sunny weather. Hardly saw another soul on the course.

Really enjoyable round.
Fairly wide and open off the tee so great course for those not very straight.
Nice offers of varied lengths to keep you on your toes with some Challanging par 3's.
The greens are well protected and not a crazy fast.
Some holes are fairly blind so pay attention to the course layout on the scorecard.
Overall a good enjoyable course and buggy is more than likely needed.

Enjoyable and challenging course with some hefty climbs

Course is laid out on the edge of a steep hill, holes go mainly back and forth across the edge, I would say 5-6 fall in into the "angina hill" category. So, overall a challenging hilly course with positioning the approach shot key to scoring well. It is not long but you need to read the fairways correctly to have your ball end the correct side to come in to each green, the course drains well and when it's dry it's hard to hold many of the greens, often you need to bounce in from the correct side, you can run off the edges of many sloping fringes if you place it wrong. Greens themselves are flat-ish overall, a little disease from the Spring left when I played and a couple of real downhill front to back slopes to be wary off. Helps to have played it before for sure, who knew I could hit the 230yds par 3 10th with a five iron....

Great views all around the county on many holes and the real question is would I play it again? Yes. Top tip: once you have paid, drive your car to the rugby club car park and avoid the incredibly long walk from the clubhouse to the course and back.

Excellent bar and very friendly members!
