Worth The Trip.
Played here today and yet again loved it. Some really great holes. Several blind holes where placement is the key. The par 3s are all great holes where you are hitting down hill so need to be very accurate or you are in trouble. The 15th is a superb Par 3, miss the green and you are in deep trouble especially short. Its quite a drop if short. I played it short went down to look for my ball and found 4 !!!. Overall a great track and well worth a visit. Recommend a buggy though up and down and several holes are quite a walk from green to next tee.(Round played: Aug 2018 - Score: 89 Handicap: 12.1)

Challenging and picturesque course with great organisation.
I'm the organiser of a society of 20 golfers. We just came back from a long weekend in the Shropshire/Worcestershire area and played Wharton Park as one of the three courses. The weather was tremendous, which was a great help of course!The first view of the course is what looks like a ski slope facing you, the long par 5 up a steep hill. There are many more hills to come and a buggy will be a must on our next visit. The course makes fantastic use of some interesting contours and shapes and you are never faced with dull "up and down" golf, with the hole layout taking you on an interesting route through the terrain.
The greens were fast and true and the course itself was well maintained and defined. Some breathtaking views of local countryside were to be seen.
Slight negatives:
Very long round. May have been the society ahead of us or maybe slow members ahead of that, but 5 and a quarter hours is hard work. We'd have appreciated some marshalls chivvying play along up ahead as someone was responsible for some slow play. The bar is not that well stocked either. Very little choice on draught, with only bottled beers and ciders for variety. We'd have liked to have seen some more draught options available. Very minor quibbles though and didn't spoil our day at all.
The major blessing for me as an organiser was the superb communication from the course at all times, keeping me informed of minor tee time changes and making sure that all was in order for our visit. Very much appreciated.
We rarely return to courses so soon after playing, but we intend to play here again next year it was that good. Thanks to all involved for making it a great day.
If you're in two minds about this course, please don't be. The relatively low (compared to other courses nearby) green fee is tremendous value, not an indicator of a sub-standard course. I'd thoroughly recommend that you give Wharton Park a try.

Just joined!
Best course in the area bar none!Couldn't make original tee-time, but their staff went above and beyond to sort us a later time, along with a buggy which is a wise move here. Joined up with 2 other members who were great company.
Couldn't get a breakfast first thing, so unexpectedly a lad from the shop (Will) brought a bacon roll out to us on the 12th hole, now that's what I call customer service!!!
Course was a little wet on our last visit in March, but where wasn't, what a transformation in May
Pace of play fine although was a quiet day anyway.
Signature hole - has to be the 15th!!!

Nice course and we'll looked after. Quite long so a buggy would be a good Idea if you are not to good walking up and down the slopes.

awesome course, needs a martial and members who understand "playing t
I have played this course several times and love the course, however had two bad experiences with slow play - I was on my own but teamed up with the 3 ball behind who had buggies (I play off 12 the others off about 18 and all played roughly too it)I really love the course and have always enjoyed it in the past however there was a major problem with the pace of play which needs to be investigated We found ourselves stuck behind 4 members, I may be wrong but they did not seem to be held up but we certainly were1 yesterday involved a lot of waiting at every tee for them to clear the landing area -
2 on finishing the whole and making way to the next tee - we found that on 2,4,5,6,11,12,13,14,16 they were still on the tee when we got there (even bigger wait)
3 they took ages looking at 11 as they were looking for balls near the green (all 4 of use had a good view of the green and them faffing around)- and then proceeded to the 12th tee at an equally slow pace - did it occur to them whilst they were looking to glance back and see 4 players waiting ,,,, and waiting --- or did they just carry on regardless?
4 we arrived at 12 with them still on the tee and met the two ball behind us who demanded to play through (to be fair the 4 ball in front eventually let them through and reduced to 3! though it never seemed to occur to the to look behind and see us)
5 at 14 we had two groups waiting for them to get off the tee\\\\\\\\6 approach shots wait was ok until about the 9th where we were waiting ever longer on each shot
6 a smidgen under 6 hours - which is the second slowest I have ever played
(Whychford park in Cheshire was the worst)
a real shame - I personally LOVE this course - the three guys I was with all said "wouldn't be in a hurry to come back here " considering two were looking for a club to join -(and I would consider it too) not a great introduction
Years ago, the old scorecard used to have timings to say how long each hole should take--- Monday was nowhere near it on another occasion I was stuck in a 3 ball behind a four ball and every time we got to the tee - they were still on it - the 6th where 3 of the four were 3 off the tee - looked for lost balls (in vain) then trundled up at snail's pace - then tried to tell us there was nothing they could do as everyone else was slow! (though no one else was in sight!!!) at the 13th (a long par four, they proceed to take about 15 minutes to get not very far off the tee, then wait for the green 280 yds away to clear only to hit it a collective distance of c120 yds, and continue at the same pace (that hole alone took about 30 minutes to play lord knows what they scored !) they would have been quicker using a putter!
Played may 2018 - handicap 12 shot 83

Wow. What a beautiful Course.
Played this for the first time and all I can say is roll on Summer. What a great and varied course. Some fantastic holes that are not easy to par at all. The Par 3s have all gotta be spot on or else you bought yourself a lot of trouble. However, one word of advice would be BUGGY. Too hilly a walk for my liking and a couple of holes have quite a walk between green to next tee. Overall fantastic value for money and I will be back in the summer.(Round played: Apr 2018 - Score: 88 Handicap: 13.2)
