Average at best
Mature course with many interesting holes but a low standard of maintenance. Annoys me when venues like this use the term \'championship course\' to fool the less experienced into thinking it\'s something special. Scrappy inconsistent rough and fairways with a lot mud. Very average greens and bunkers. Paths and tees poorly manicured.Reviewer Rating

There must be another golf course in whittlebury...
Whilst there are some parts to this golf course that are good, I can only assume there is a secret hidden golf course somewhere in the village that all of these 4 and 5 star reviewers are playing because it’s certainly not the same course that I’m playing. The good elements to this course are the general layout of the 9s and the practice facilities. However that seems to be the only good things here.The course is so long everywhere you go that the rough not 5 yards from the green is unplayable for short delicate chips. Even the fairways are so long that the grass is up higher than my wheels of my golf trolley, no chance of crisp iron shots or wedges with any sort of back spin here. I’ve played other places where the odd member would take a dog out with them but I would be scared to here in case the poor bugger got lost in the semi cut.
The greens are equally bad as you may be better off bringing a hockey stick to putt anything over 20 feet.
Lastly the bar, if you are very lucky you may get served by someone with a smile and the slightest bit of conversation but don’t hold your breath. My advice would be if you want a nice cold drink, go out to the first hole on the red and have a 200 yard walk and fill up a glass from the pond in front of you.

I wish I could be more positive in my review on this course, but unfortunately one word describes the whole place. LONG.Long grass on fairways, semi, tees.
The greens also are probably the best looking slowest, worst putting greens I’ve ever played on, anything outside 20ft is almost a full swing.
Then you have the pleasure of trying to get a drink from the most unwelcoming bar staff in history. What more can I say “save your money”

Terrible customer service
50 mile drive, wasted a whole day. completely incompetent system. won't be back anytime soon. offered drinks vouchers to avoid feedback I guess.Wasted a phone call to check course status, trolley info. I can honestly see why this course is struggling for members.
Plenty of good courses in the area avoid this

It’s getting worse.
Course condition is letting this place down. Greens are horrendous, bobbling and don’t roll smoothly. Mixture of long and short grass with some bare patches. Tee boxes are really uneven, and the bunkers are a mixture of different sands so it’s pot luck what you get. Go play somewhere else in the county.Reviewer Rating

Slow round
Too many competitions and golf societies being allowed to play with novice golfers playing extremely slowly. They need a marshal out on the course and beginners should play on the mashie course(Round played: Sep 2017 - Score: 87 Handicap: 14.4)

Good for high handicappers
My first time at Whittlebury Park so these are first impressions only. Splitting the course into 3 9-hole routes is a bit unconventional and maybe caters best for hotel guests with limited time - you can get 3 groups all teeing off simultaneously. If you want to do 18 holes you need to mix and match, and the obvious downside is that someone may be teeing off at what is in effect your 10th hole, just when you arrive there. They appear to keep a check on this from the on-course office, but it's less relaxing than having a straight 18 holes in front of you. Because there are few natural hills and large trees are sparse, the course is designed with a lot of artificisl hazards, including narrow fairways and deepish bunkers at about driving distance, undulations in the fairways, many raised greens defended by bunker traps, and sloping greens with challenging pin positions. Personally I prefer courses where the hazards are more varied and natural. Having said that, the course is maintained in excellent condition, the greens are true if rather slow, and each hole is helpfully pictured showing distances from the tee positions.Reviewer Rating
