Expensive
Golf course empty perhaps because the rates have gone up for a round. Shame as it’s a nice course.
Beautiful surroundings....shame the course didn't live up to
The surroundings and when approach the course are amazing!
The first 9 holes "The Lakes" were spot on and a joy to play.
When you swap over to the "The Valley" it became very misjointed, people crossing over paths, catching up with each other. Having to cross other course t placements to get to yours, also on the back 9 "The Valley" no clear indication which way to the next T placement?! People becoming confused and asking other parties if this is the correct T etc. No clear indication. Also the fairways on the Valley were not cared for as much as the "The Lakes" 9 holes.
Great Day
For the time of year, the course was in great condition, really enjoyed it. I will most definitely be playing there again.
Course conditions
Course very good however when we played the ground was very wet and made it hard work on the legs due to how hilly the course is.
The course has some fantastic holes
Considering what mother nature has thrown at this course it's in remarkable condition. The ball actually bounces and runs on the fairways. Greens are ok but there's a lot of cracking holes with stunning panoramic views. Can't wait to go back in the summer when it's in full bloom and the balcony at the clubhouse looks like a hot-spot for a pint. A good walk but we'll worth it.
Great value for money
Great value for money and amazing views . No 2 holes the same .
Will definitely return
Autumn golf
had an enjoyable day off work to have a morning round of golf. Course was very wet and muddy. Being autumn ,lots of leaves coming down some greens were patchy , very scenic location expensive for the golf on offer this time of year
Waste of money
Rang in advance to ask if temporary greens were in play . “What are temporary greens?” Was the response.
Arrived at 10th, 6 players queuing. Complained to staff who had absolutely no idea what was going on “that’s what the computer allows”.
Asked if valley course was available. Was told yes but it was a Par 3 course. Arrived at 1st, 5 ball on tee. And only 2 Par 3’s.
Greens like treacle.
Will I return? If it was a £10 council course and I didn’t like playing golf then maybe.
Great course.. unique layout..great fun.
Played Saturday...other than some greens in poor condition..the rest of the course was nicely laid out and the views were fantastic...it's s pity some holes were missing their names and information plaques..it's easy to get confused with the trilogy of 9 holes as they often cross each other..we spoke with other golfers who had got lost at some points.. overall a really great days golf and would recommend...thank you
Best kept secret
This is a testing golf course set in one of the most stunning areas of Northamptonshire countryside
The layout will test players of all handicaps physically and mentally but it is also very enjoyable for those who just want to get away from it all.
Although golfing facilities are limited in this pandemic period the course is very well presented and will not disappoint
Slow rate of play
Having played on a bank holiday Monday we expected a longer round of golf, but finishing the 12th hole and it taking 4+ hours we decided to call it a day.
Real shame, course management should allow for a steady rate of play, even when busy.
Good test & some signature holes
Another really enjoyable round @ HL. Some wonderful holes, and the hills and lakes make it a memorable round. The greens were a bit indifferent but given the extremes of weather understandable and didn’t spoil the round.
Great Layout, Poor Condition and very slow.
The course layout is 3 loops of nine. The Greens were in poor condition. The pace of play was terrible first 9 holes 3 and a half hours, the second 9 holes, 2 hrs.
The course was overloaded with society's and the local club members, must be very patient.
Awesome course but soooo hilly
what a fantastic course. Beautifully challenging course, awesome scenery but if you arent fit then not the course for you as very hilly.
Would love to play again but will definitely hire a buggy as this will make it even more enjoyable
Good course, but a 5 hour plus round
A good course which is doing an excellent job of following COVID guidance. The only issue we had was that we played as a 2 ball and were placed immediately behind the club medal comp. Unfortunately this led to us having to wait on every shot and it took 5 hours to complete the course. I feel the club should have blocked out the tee times for half an hour following the medal.
