Disappointing

The Westerwood should be a great course, but has been sadly neglected. It is out of condition with very scruffy greens and other straggly waste areas. More should be done on drainage and general upkeep.

This course is not the main focus of this complex, it has been neglected, it could do with a face lift and maybe then it would be worth it.

Take wellies!

Myself and a friend played in a pairs comp through Golf Empire. Only £12 including coffee and bacon roll. Bacon roll was self-service and so I piled it in. Good food, nice coffee! However when I asked for a dry roll a miserable little man mumbled 'there's always one', so we replied with, 'then you should probably should have had some ready'. The starter was a disinterested and surly as well.
The chap giving out score cards and taking the fees was a nice guy and we had a good chat to him.

Now for the course. A great layout. No complaints there. If it was in the Algarve it would be an absolute gem....however it isn't! Every hole was a boggy mess and the greens were almost floating in places. Yes we'd had rain the night before, but other courses are perfectly playable. This was a 5 hr slog thanks to backspin from drives and playing partners losing balls on the quagmire-like fairways!

To summarise: I would play again, but only after a period of sustained dry weather. Recommend their front of house staff get some customer service training or try a different career.
Otherwise, avoid!

Played March 2017. Course was in terrible condition and should not have been open. Every fairway waterlogged, greens moved beneath your feet they were that soft. It's clear they are not investing in this course anymore which is a shame as it could be a great course given some decent management.

Reviewed Jun 9 2014

Played for the 1st time today, 9th June (summer!). The rain started at the 6th and continued unabated for the rest of the round. The course held up well in the conditions and had some interesting holes. Despite having heard some poor reviews, the course was good to play until the 12th. This is a silly tee shot unless you are familiar with the layout.
On the downside there were some long walks between green and tee on paths which were so severly potholed that if you had hired a ride on it could have been dangerous due to the severe flooding.
As far as catering is concerned it was very far from being acceptable. On the day there was only one young girl on call carrying out the work on the bar, taking orders for food, cooking the fillings for the rolls and delivering said orders. This might be acceptable if the prices were reasonable but £3.50 for a simple coffee might seem excessive to some. She was good, management, in puting her in this position was diabolical.
Overall the course was good but because of the above the day was extremely disapointing.

Reviewed May 27 2013

Played this course in Apr '13.

Tees and fairways in shockingly bad condition - most holes waterlogged. The course has plenty of long holes, thick rough and hazards - so landing on the fairway should be rewarded! Instead fairways are marshes at best, ponds at worst, making accurate approach shots nearly impossible. When you inevitably miss the green, bunkers are full of standing water. Some fairways are almost entirely GIR, meaning you have to go back 50+ yards to find a suitable drop area.

The only thing worse than the standard of the course was the clubhouse service.

The customers in front of us in the queue (tourists - presumably paying full price for their round) were offered their choice of the 10+ buggies sat immediately outside the club shop. Upon realising that we booked through teeofftimes.co.uk, the starter then refused to rent myself and my playing partner a buggy. This would be insulting enough normally, but given the condition of the course a buggy was a neccessity. Many of the paths between holes were so badly flooded that shoes and trousers were completey ruined.

Having played many other courses this season, the weather is no excuse for the condition of the Westerwood. It was a relatively dry day. Even municipal/council courses are in much, much better condition at this time of year.

If you have a free voucher to play this course, put your wellies and old trousers on and go with low expectations. Otherwise, dont bother.

One of the least enjoyable rounds i have played all year. Chipping from under 70 yards near impossible as ground just cuts up. Greens played well but fairways and even the tees were soaking. I play at a cheap council course with almost no funding which has drainage 100x better than westerwoods. If you wore wellies you would still have wet feet at the end. Got fed up around 16th. Good value as i had a free voucher and would be nice if dry. Though i doubt this course has ever been dry since it was built. Also no yardage markers which you would expect considering mostly visitors that play here

Possibly the worst golf course I've ever played on, in fact probably the worst course in the uk. Looks like it hasn't seen a green keeper in months! Bunkers were mostly muddy holes with no sand in sight. Fairways looked like rough in places and the paths between holes were dug up at regular intervals making it hard work moving your trolley. Greens were hard but had just been cored (ok so there must be a greenskeeper around somewhere).Highlight of the night was the satisfying dump I took before heading out! Some nice views I the local hills, that's about your lot! Very dissapointing!!

myself and three friends played westerwood on 4th june 2012. firs impresions of club house were very good untill we ordered bacon rolls 40 mins before tee off at £3.50 each and eventually came 10 mins before tee off and had to take them to the first tee with us. the fairways were in good condition but the greens were like playing in a local pitch and put. i played this course before and now after the re design and dont think there has been much improvement as others have said before the 12th is one of the worst holes i have came accross. luckily we got vouchers at golf show but having to travel 60 miles each way for such poor conditions is not what we were expecting. luckily it was sunny with not much wind or i think i might of not bothered finishing round. if we go to golf show next year westerwood tickets might end up in a faffle somewhere. won't be returning.

Take your scuba gear!

I have now played this course 3 times (colleagues are members) and each time have found the place to be like a swamp. My experience of this today was only marginally better than with my previous rounds.

On my previous 2 rounds I passed comment on the wet condition to the staff in the pro shop, to hear the response 'we've had a tremendous amount of rain here over the last week'. And so, I mentioned it again today to receive the same response... I live around 12 miles away and the weather this week has been great (perhaps a couple of short rain showers only)!

The course has some nice holes, these would be really nice additions to the 'City of Atlantis golf and coral club'.

Don't play the 12th - it is awful, this does not deserve to be a hole on any golf course.

Not the best!

With every other course I have played lately, the conditions have been amazing with the mixture of sun and rain, though here it was terrible. Very wet under foot and the Tees were in a shocking state, struggle to find a patch of grass to tee off! It's a very challenging course with a good layout, just ruined by the condition of it.

Played westerwood for the 5th time today June 17 2014,the course was the driest and best condition I have seen, some of the tees are up to 80 yards long so to play it on a nice dry day from tees forward a bit, to a wet windy day from tees at longest is the key to enjoying this course, the layout is good with some very difficult holes, the 12 a dog leg is a question of playing the right club from the tee depending on your length and ability and then a tricky 2nd shot to a sloping green. The paths between greens and tees are badly needing upgraded. Overall I would play the course again but only after a dry spell and on a nice day

The good about the course? Most holes are exceptional in terms of how they are laid out, there is a lot of challenge on every hole. It\'s a thinking mans course, Driver on every par 4 and 5 just won\'t cut it here. I genuinely think the layout of this course is exceptional and could compare to Glengeagles if a bit shorter in length. In particular, I enjoyed playing the 7th, 14th and 15th, whilst the 18th is a great par 5 finishing hole.\\The bad? The conditions of the course (bar the greens, which are of a good standard) are very poor. There are a lot of muddy ruts even in the middle of fairways, the fairway grass isn\'t cut as it should be and the bunkers are very often flooded. The 12th (par 4) is a bit of a joke if I\'m honest...I played a 9 iron (130ish yards) for my tee shot as the fairway is at a 90 degree angle to the tee...I then had to play an 8 iron to an incredibly small green with no run off at all, and to top it all off, after a great drive into the fairway, I had a tree in my way!\\Overall? I\'d give it a 6/10. It\'s a shame the conditions of the course is so poor, if someone came in and spent a bit of money to improve it\'s condition it would be a VERY worthy championship layout (perhaps with the exception of lengthening a few holes and changing that 12th hole). Good for beginners or high handicappers, if you want play a course with good condition it\'s best to look elsewhere.
