Neglected
This used to be a pleasant little course but is now suffering badly from lack of attention. Many of the tees are a mess, the first cut is long enough to be losing balls and there are two ladies tees where your shot is blocked by trees. I can live with the woolly greens - good for an high handicapper!Although it's not the most important thing, there is no availability of snacks/drinks. The ?clubhouse? (basically where you pay or use the loo) is a sad looking area offering nothing but a toilet! There was a mobile snack wagon in the car park but it was closed when we visited.

Poor condition
Played this course o couple of times over the past few months because very cheap st ?10 per round but you get what you pay for and so far I'm not seeing any improvement on the greens fairways are in good condition and volunteers running the shop are very friendly but greens are shocking and unable to put properly on most. Shame really as would be a nice course yo play especially at the price. 18th is a long par 5 and all up hill but some nice holes and will keep going back but only to keep the swing goingReviewer Rating

Arrived at 16:00 today to find that it a sign was posted saying no more admissions. I was furious as I drove for an hour with my brother to get there. It also said on the gate as we drove in that it automatically closed at 18:30. There is no mention of any this on there web page. Please be aware.

Two completely different nines ! Relatively easy front nine which then gets more complicated and hilly on the back nine. This course is adequate if you want to turn up and pay and play. Don't expext Pie , Peas & a pint though. Best is some homemade sandwiches and lucosade ! Very forgiving course for the higher handicapers though. Greens ok too but could do with better signage around the course in my opinion. Good value at £16 weekend golf

As already mentioned Spofforth is the only real pay and play course in the town. It's really for the beginner to intermediate level golfer as the fairways are wide and flat, and there's not much feature to it.
The greens are really frustrating because there's an inch high crown around every hole which doesn't help your putting stats. The other frustrating element is the tees. They're uneven and soft.
All in all it's not bad for a practice round but it's not a course for the better golfer

A pretty good course for your mid handicap player. Quite open fairways and good greens. Some holes can be quite challenging but over all a great course.

This is the only real pay and play/ none members course in Harrogate. It tends to be used when all the other courses in the area are closed due to heavy rain and waterlogged greens and by a lot of hackers on a weekend - I know, I was (and still am) a hacker.
The greens are quite good although feel a bit spongy but they play well. The front nine are pretty much straight up and down but the back nine are a bit more interesting.
The facilities are pretty basic (no bar and micro waved bacon butties) but if you want to play golf and you're not a member anywhere or your course is closed this is where to go. At £15 per round you wouldn't expect St Andrews.
