Tracy Park

Cromwell Course. Excellent layout, with a good variety to the holes, some short and tight, some long, some with water and all with greens that have some amazing contours. The views were stunning too, once atop the hill. Well worth the price we paid, and hope to play again when it’s firmer, which will bring a whole new set of challenges.

Great course if you can get a tee time.

Untidy

I was a member at Tracey for 10 years and looked forward to my return. However, after 5 holes I realised why I left. Unfortunately, the course isn't maintained to the standard it deserves. Bunkers are unkempt, no defined fairways and very average greens.

Tracey Park is now very much a Hotel with 2 golf courses, opposed to a Premier golf course with accommodation available.

Not great I'm afraid

Needs TLC

A very good course that could be a beautiful course if it was given a little more tender loving care. A course is only as good as it’s members. If the members can’t be bothered to repair pitch marks or replace divots then it always look bad. The fairways need cropping. It was more like playing on the local common than a golf course. The drag that then long grass created slowed down the run of the ball. That saying it was a nice night, a 3 ball in front of me allowed me to play through. It could be beautiful course if given a little TLC.

Tough but great course!

I highly recommend this course to any golfer looking to challenge themselves. It starts off with nice and open fairways with minimal cautions surrounding the holes, but as you get on it becomes more narrow or blocked with trees, water etc. giving you a bigger challenge to finish the hole - but overall, it's a fantastic, well kept and enjoyable course. I highly recommend it!

Very good

Friendly staff. Green’s and tee’s in good condition. Fairways firm but to be expected considering the long hot dry spell. Good variety of holes. All round a good experience. Would definitely play again and recommend.

Cromwell, delightful course!

Played on a Sunday afternoon after booking through the app. We were a three ball and didn’t see another person on the course, perfect round of golf. Course was in good condition apart from one green that needed a little TLC. Highly recommend a round.

Sadly lacking TLC

I last. Played the course approx 8 years ago and then it had good fairways, well kept bunkers and the complex seemed to be up and coming.Sadly, it seems the green keepers have had more than a few weeks off. The welcome in the pro shop.aside (excellent) it was a disappointment all round. The greens were very good but there was very little definition on the fairways which had a lot of growth especially daisies making it difficult to spot balls actually on the fairway. The bunkers were weed strewn as were the very rough cart paths.

Off course again seemed surreal. The pro shop had moved from a very attractive building to a glass building half its size whilst the spikes bar and changing facilities were in a portacabin.

On finishing in front of the.hotel chairs were on their sides and appeared to have been ignored by staff.

Overall, it made me appreciate my home club

Such a shame

I have played this course on many occasions over the years but it’s fair to say, course maintenance is non existent
The tee boxes are extremely poor but that’s nothing compared to the state of the greens.
This course is really interesting (which is why I return to play it on occasions) but it really is not looked after we’ll at all and the round is finished off with possibly the tackiest clubhouse ever !
They’ve been saying this is temporary however they’ve been saying this for a decade !

Great Friday afternoon’s entertainment

Played this course for the second time.
Tracy Park is a really nice setting and the course is a good challenge. Quite forgiving of the odd wayward drive but the greens are undulating and present a good test.

Always Good To Go Back

Have played both the courses at Tracy Park a number of times. Of the two, the Cromwell is the more challenging and my favourite of the two. A little bit more rough and ready than the Crown, which always seems better kept. I expect this is where the members play. The Cromwell is 18 holes that climb the hill above the manor before playing back and forth across the hill to return to a finish in front of the manor house at the 18th, where you will find a green the size of a small county. In fact most greens on the Cromwell are quite large with some severe slopes - certainly a course to bring the putting game to and your green reading will be severely tested. The stand out hole is certainly the par 3 10th, played from an elevated tee to another large, undulating green with water right and bunkers to the left - so be straight and you should be fine!

Off the course they are starting to recover from the credit crunch that hit when they were looking to update the total golf experience. A new golf shop/reception is nice but I think they need to address the 19th. This remains a functional portakabin and not much else. If this can be upgraded to match the other facilities that the venue offers for weddings etc then Tracy Park will be somewhere I visit many times a year to play either course though most of my money will be spent on the Cromwell, which tends to be the quieter course due to the challenge that the changes in elevation brings. Don't be shy, give it a try!
