Very nice setting, super friendly pro and staff keen for us to have a good visit, which makes a massive difference. Several outstanding holes although quite a generous layout, most of the difficulty is in the greens, firm and fairly fast with some decent slopes. Tees and bunkers very good, fairways decent after a tough summer. Yardage’s and coded flags all very clear. Warm up net and putting green,
Fairly tough walk, only two par 3’s and two par 5’s with several 100 plus yard walks between tees. One might suggest a little rerouting could be considered..that’s really the only criticisms I could make, ranked about right on here.

Superb course
One of my all time favourite courses, and after much work being done last year, and the bunkers not being brought into play for their March Senior Open, it was an absolute pleasure to play their October Senior Open with the whole course looking great. All the new bunkers are in play and look like they were put in when the course was built - a tribute to the greenkeepers and staff who contributed to all the work carried out. Obviously it means my yardage book is now out of date, but that's a small price to pay for what is again an outstanding course. The layout is really good, although one of the players did comment that 14 par 4's and only 2 par 3's and 2 par 5's was a strange layout. We were only off the yellow tees, so not playing particularly long, and only 2 scores of 40 points, and the winning score of 43 points, so no-one "tore it up". The greens are always in good nick, although we could see that they had been spiked recently, but they had all but fully recovered - possibly a little slower than they usually are but still running very true. Loads of sand in the bunkers - a lot of which are in new positions since last year's work. The fairways showed little of the hot weather damage I've seen at other courses this summer, but we were playing 'preferred lies' on closely mown areas all the same. There was the usual Autumn problem with leaves, but that is to be expected in October. The food was good, and plenty of it, and as usual, we were very well looked after by the very friendly members and staff. Already booked for their next Senior Open in March 2019, and looking forward to it.Reviewer Rating

Lovely Course
A lovely golf course. Well laid out in a fantastic setting.Considering the weather it was in great condition, with the greens running well.
As a few other reviews have said a lot of work has been done on the course, leaving all the bunkers currently as GUR, but it will be fantastic from May once fully opened.
The Pro & all the members were friendly & very helpful.
I look forward to playing it in the summer

Lots of work goiing on
The members have heavily invested in the course which will be great for them next year but not good for visitors now. Lots of shorter holes, a number of winter greens and lots of bunkers being dug up, filled in and moved. Their are loads of diggers and workmen all over the course.(Round played: Oct 2017 - Score: 86 Handicap: 12.3)

This is one of my favourite courses, which I play at least twice a year. They are doing MAJOR work at the moment (as at October 2017), which includes moving bunkers, and altering green surrounds etc. I understand they are spending millions, and have apparently appointed course architects to design the new layouts, which I think will look fantastic when finished. Unfortunately, it meant that their Autumn Senior Open was none-qualifying, as there were 4 temporary greens and 3 temporary tees, making it poor value for the price we paid. I am looking forward to visiting in March, when the work will be finished, and hopefully all in play - at the moment, there are huge swathes of land marked GUR, where they have laid new turf to cover the areas already renovated and areas still being worked on. The only reason for the 'poor' score on course conditions is because of the work interfering with the usual very high standard of course at Wellingborough.
