Scarthingwell Golf Course

Great course for walking as very flat. Excellent layout and will play again.

This is the third time I’ve played this course. It has a nice vibe. Play was steady. Fairways were in the best condition I’ve played here. Greens have a lot of sand on though. Somehow caught up 4 holes to the play in front? So hit some slow play. So it was a shame that the two Brian DeChambeau’s ahead held up play thinking they could reach the greens in one shot? They couldn’t. They unfortunately backed up the play behind and even the chap trying to cut the fairways. This doesn’t take away playing the course again. It’s a forgiving course. Wide fairways. Lovely scenery.

The course blamed GolfNow, I recieved a call on the morning of play to say there were only 9 holes in play due to course improvements, why would anyone do this at this time when courses have been closed for months? we were offered a 9 hole rain check ticket, we were travelling quite a way to play and my two colleagues had already set off, I asked why we were not informed earlier as I booked this three days earlier they blamed GolfNow as they had informed you weeks ago and you are not putting this on your website, absolutely ridiculous, we should have had a free round given to us, hope someone sees this and saves other people the hardship

Great course and in good condition given the recent weather... Greens need a little work as not running true but otherwise excellent...

Stroke Index seems a little off for challenge of holes but again overall excellent

Perfect club, only a shame I live in Leeds. Played with my dad who currently has a hernia so the wide fairways and flatness really benefitted. We thoroughly enjoyed it, didn’t play as long as the card suggested which was nice, with some very tricky bunkers in front of greens on approach.

Greens were in good condition, with fairways nice, short and fluffy, tee boxes could maybe do with some TLC but that’s only think I can rate down.

Pace of play was good and when it wasn’t 2 members allowed us through, they were very friendly. Gentleman who was in pro shop was a very good bloke and made everything straight forward.

Shame spikes bar wasn’t open for the 19th... but there’s always a next time.

I would definitely recommend this course and will definitely be returning - Thank you.

This course is deteriorating - nowhere near as good as recent years. Most bunkers are currently full of weeds and grass and some have been made GUR due to lack of Greens staff to keep them in a playable condition. Tee boxes are in poor condition. Greens not as good as previous years. I would suggest find an alternative unless you are a beginner/hacker.

Second time on the course booked through the app and it was too busy and slow on this occasion Fantastic course and it’s very well looked after

Great course for mid level handicap enough in it for all ... only negative was bar closed at 6

Nice course. Bunkers were in good condition compared to others played recently.
Only downside was no map, so sometimes finding the next hole was a struggle.

Decevingly hard looks easy and open off tee but some tough small greens well protected by bunkers and slopes great course definitely play again

While boldly claiming that they’re one of the most inclusive golf centres out there who pride themselves on tailoring to golfers of all abilities, at the same time they will turn anyone away who don’t adhere to their strict dress code which will cost over £100 to fulfill.
Had played in exactly the same clothes the week before and was allowed to play, which means that two different rules for two different days is apparently also appropriate for this golf course. Wouldn’t recommend.

2nd time I’ve played this course. Very flat but a forgiving course to play. Would come back. Not the most scenic but beautifully laid out with mainly a tree lined layout. Greens and Tees in good condition. My only negative comment would be the fairways needed a bit of a trim to differentiate between the first cut of rough. There wasn’t much difference in places. But overall I love the vibe of this course.

It was the third time I had played here. That tells you that I like the course. It’s flat and has some variation on the layout. My mood is always helped when I avoid all the bunkers. The scenery is ok but not spectacular. Very peaceful though. I would certainly recommend playing here.

This course has a nice vibe to it. The green keepers are doing a great job to keep it in a lovely condition despite so much dry weather. Quite a forgiving course. Was a pleasure to play. Tee’d off early to avoid any crowds. But the price we paid was definitely worth it and would return.
