What the club says: This well established (over 20 years) course is parkland with mature tress and numerous water hazards to trap the unwary. The fairways are generous, the green receptive and the semi rough is kept quite long to penalise a wayward shot. 84 bunkers are placed strategically to test your full repertoire of shots.

Good Twilight Round
The recent rain meant that the fairways were slowing the balls down. There has been some investment with drainage being put in.Reviewer Rating

Awful and embarrassing
Had the unfortunate chance to play the members course. Or the Castle as it’s better known.Wow. What an embarrassment. I’d be ashamed to take people there if I were a member.
Fairways are awful. Greens are unplayable. And this is in April. Not sure if the owner actually pays Green keepers to take care of the course. It’s disgusting. And to call it a members course. The people who pay a members fee must be desperate if they accept that.
All well and good updating the range with the latest trackman technology. But spend some money on the courses.
Thankfully I’ll never go back there.
The owner should be ashamed.

Needs investment
Played a round on Manor course with friends while I was in the area. This course could be really good, but the greens team need to focus on actually green keeping. The greens were shocking. Bumpy, lots of weeds and slow. Tees were bare, but you could tee it up as it’s obvious been dry. Fairways were just as long as the first cut of rough. Was a busy day at the club, but took 4.5hours to get round because of groups that wouldn’t even contemplate letting groups through when they had clearly lost ground. Warden didn’t do anything about it. Would take a lot for me to be persuaded to play again.Reviewer Rating

nice layout
The layout is nice on the Castle course bit it was in very average condition.Tee boxes were mostly all poor, fairways were okay, bunkers not very good at all, not much sand and lots of stones.
Greens were disappointing, very slow.
Clubhouse and staff were great though

Nice clubhouse and warm welcome from staff. Tree lined with some ponds and ditches strategically placed. Greens tricky with subtly borrows, but true and in good condition. Unfortunately the tees need some serious repair work as do the bunkers The course is under new management so perhaps improvements will arrive over time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would play again.

A course still looking tired….
The place can change its name but it still hasn’t fully recovered from the old ownership. It needs a massive cash input to the course and a good bulldozer to some of the derelict buildings that still surround the estate. The yardage signage around the course needs updating as it still says Beadlow Manor, and it’s been a while since the club changed names!The course itself was lush but there was cut grass everywhere. Greens were ok but as expected quite bobbly and slow. It is a grass factory so the grass growth can get on top of the greenkeepers. Aprons, and bunkers were in reasonable condition but the fairways and rough were long. The tees need attention. If you go amongst the trees you will never find your ball again, the grass is far too long. It’s cheap to play and always busy, but it lacks finesse and looks worn out.

Lovely looking course with friendly helpful staff and a very comfortable bar and lounge. I played the Castle course as a guest on a wet winter's afternoon and the fairways were excellent if a little sticky. However, the greens were patchy and poor and the tees were just about nonexistent! The poorest I have seen on any public or private course in 40 years. More weeds, mud and animal holes than grass. Completely let the course down and I cannot understand how a golf course would let the facilities get so poor.

Excellent club since being taken over at the start of 2022 by John O'Leary and team. Has been huge investment/improvement in both courses as well as the club itself and has been transformational. Two good courses with the members Castle course being the pick and more testing of the two but ably supported by the shorter Manor course. Both testing in their own ways and enjoyable and fair to play.
Great staff and very reasonable fees.

The Manor Course was a decent enough challenge,Course was in reasonable enough condition considering the summer we've had.
Some of the greens were quite small and the pace of the greens were not consistent which caught some of us out.

Course is beginning to suffer from the drought bit overall fairways were still quite green and the greens were in good condition. Sand in bunkers is not good. Lots of stones and thin sand. Short tight course, narrow fairways making accuracy important.

Having vowed never to come back 5 years ago we returned recently following some good reports about improvements made at the club. Allowing for the heatwave it was still evident that the course has advanced since we were last there. The tees and greens are noticeably better as are the bunkers. The narrow tree lined fairways are still keeping you honest. However one area where there has been no improvement and indeed shows a deterioration is the volume of golfers on the course at any one time, and the busy status on each hole. The waiting time definitely spoilt the round and we left the course after hole 16.Reviewer Rating
