Unacceptable
We are a nationwide golf society that travels the U.K. playing golf. We had originally heard good things about Rye Hill so decided we would book a golf day.Leading up to the day we started to see bad reviews of the course so we called the pro shop and asked for an honest opinion on the course condition and we were a shored the course was in good condition but the fairways are slight scorched. We took this in good faith and proceeded with the day.
When arrived the general feel was good until we got on the course, the tee boxes were so uneven the they are boarderline dangerous, fairways haven’t been cut and in places are overgrown and the green are completely unplayable not cut, diseased and bare in places.
All in all our experience is pretty embarrassing for us has we try to put the best days on for our members we had no help from the club and they just didn’t want to know.
I would avoid this course at all costs

Worst Course Played Ever
Played the course with 27 other blokes in a society game on Saturday 11th September 2021. Have to say unfortunately one of the worst courses we have ever played, fairways looked like they hadn’t been mowed in a week, greens are in poor condition they claim it’s due to weather but definitely signs of some sort of disease affecting them. The signage for the holes is poor and some of the Tee boxes are a sight to behold not a blade of grass in sight on the 17th Tee. The 16th is a complete blind shot can’t even see the fairway due to the bushes being so overgrown in front of the Tee. On a plus side the food before and after was decent.Reviewer Rating

Very poor customer service
I was very disappointed with Rye Hill golf club. Very disappointed with the attitude of the pro shop staff today.The course was extremely busy which is good but there was no one Marshalling the flow of players. After playing 13 holes which took FIVE hours I gave up and complained at the pro shop but the attitude was so what, I remember when Rye Hill was a premium course but has gone down hill and can be now classed as a council course all about the money and not the players and staff..Reviewer Rating

Great course greens superb but pro shop staff a let down. Our society played there last week after having a good breakfast and a great round of golf our problems started. The pro shop staff told us the chef has gone home so there will be no meal which we had paid for and there was nothing he could do. 20 members not very happy with bags of crisps to eat. Ryehill lost a lot of money that day in bar takings, one plus for the staff the lad behind the bar worked his sosks off serving us as he was the only one behind the bar. We got a £6 refund but the attitude of the pro shop staff wrecked a good days golf. Tim Pearce Bagot Arms Golf

With its layout, variety and views this course has the potential to be a wonderful destination. It is, however, in need of a great deal of TLC. The greens are a bit scruffy, with many unrepaired pitchmarks. The bunkers are well-placed to provide a challenge, but it would appear that the vast majority of them haven't been raked by anybody for some time. On some holes it is hard to define where the fairway ends and the rough begins, and the first cut is so long that it is easy to lose a ball only a couple of feet off the fairway. The bar/cafe only opens infrequently. Although some drinks are available in the pro shop, today they were only offering fruit-flavoured cider. On the plus side it was an inexpensive round and the pace of play was pretty good, but it wasn't busy.

First visit here found the course very boring especially over the first nine holes.
The latter holes are more interesting when the contours of the course have to be played. Not sure we will come back again.

Some holes in a good need of repair, accuracy with second shots is key as missing the green can be unforgiving. A fairly hilly course.
