What a great day for golf!!!
I have played this course only a few times before but always in the winter. I was very pleased at how the course has been maintained and played in the warmer season and it was in pretty good condition. My only gripe would be the condition of some of the greens. Very difficult to putt as bobbles everywhere (back nine much better than the front nine) meaning your golf ball will jump all over the place. Also some of the greens were very dry with grass missing. Also the cutting of the grass to the sides of the fairways was not to good leaving grass cuttings looking like a kids playing field. Im unsure as to why the tee box for the 18th is in such a poor state why hasn't this been sorted?..Such a shame to have to tee off a naff astro turf tee on the final hole. Overall though fairways were very good, i love the second cut length along every fairway..looks and plays great. A great challenge today on a very sunny day. Will defo be back and hoping for the greens to be a bit better.Reviewer Rating

Greens on the mends
i had read the reviews on the course and was sceptical but thought i would have a look for myself.The course itself was in great nick. Would prefer the first cut to be a tad shorter as its very difficult to find your ball even if you stray only a foot off the fairway.
The greens have very obvious issues but look like they are being addressed. There are several greens affected and had to move my ball and 2 or 3 holes to give me a clear path to the hole. I spoke to a member on course and he advised they were better now than they were a few month previous.
Bigger disappointment was the club shop being closed, red hot and couldn't even pick up a pre round drink.
Even with the state of the greens id be happy to return

So off we went expecting an ordinary game of golf... only 5617 yards par 70, the first 9 holes inside a racing course and all for £14 our hopes were not that high! The weather was windy, cold, hot, rainy... ok typical british! Arriving we were greated by the security on the gate (choc brown lab) after the 'sniff test' we were accepted... pro shop small but well stocked.... nice club house and very very friendly, small bite before hand and 'were off' (Sorry horse pun there!) Inside the track is a thinking mans course, you can big hit but with the wind that day... irons were a must. A mixture of trees and water make this a test, the 8th is a loverly 129yrd island green, my advice = just hit the green!! Right, out of the racecourse and the next mature 9. The 10th is all about the tee shot only 301 yrds par 4 but difficult across a river. The next 8 holes again you can open up but think before you do. 17th is a dream hole of 326 yrds par 4... good tee shot and if you can hit the green in 2 and stop on it I will get you that well earned pint.... a par 3 to finish... all in all we came away happy that we have found this little gem....

Please Don't be put off by my score weather conditions played a big factor! However if any golfer is lucky enough to be in the Southwell/Newark area you must visit this course as believe me it is a gem in every way! Very tight, fairways with lots of hazards to test you. However play it straight and the greens are Top quality! I would definitely go back and hopefully next time I can be a bit more consistent.

A interesting course worth playing with the first 9 inside the racecourse. Few holes with water if you a little wayward.
Accuracy with your approach shot to the 17th a must!
A few of the par 4's on the back need some thought on club selection. Often a mid iron unless you really trust your accuracy. On the 10th - 9 iron off the tee - be brave at yoour own risk!!

Beautiful course
Southwell is a lovely, short course - first nine in the middle of the famous race course - some water and some really good holes. Back nine is very pretty and amongst woodland and fields.(Round played: May 2021 - Score: 88 Handicap: 13.9)

Not the best
Front 9 crammed inside the racecourse makes for very tight but bland golf holes. Very boring with the exception of a pretty island green par 3 (7th). Back 9 is woodland and very flat. Much better than the front 9. Greens were in a poor bare condition The first cut was too long and over punishing. Don't think I will hurry back just yet. Maybe the break hadn't helped staff wise. The staff we did meet were nice though.Reviewer Rating
