Orchardleigh

First time playing the course really enjoyed it. It was Saturday afternoon so it was busy.

Course was great, it is long and there was no buggies if I played again would ideally want a buggy

Greens were awful

Decided to give this course a go as it was middle distance to the others in the group.

When booking it showed many T times available from 12 noon onwards, so I thought the course would be fairly quiet given the amount of T times available - oh how wrong I was... - we did get away on time, but 5 hours later we came in ! - the course was very busy, and pace of play was slow as the many trees were shedding their leaves making looking for balls a constant issue.

But this is nothing to the greens - absolutely the worse greens i have played on in as long as I can remember - putting on dirt would have been easier, every green looked as though they needed digging up and re-seeding.

Played Orchardleigh for a third time today and once again loved it. The weather was kind to us and once again the views around the beautifully set out course were delightful. The greens ran pretty well although it looked like they were just recovering from treatment. But I have to say great overall. Thanks again Orchardleigh.

Orchardleigh - A tale of wasted potential

Beautiful rolling greens, firm trimmed fairways, considered and careful maintenance to challenge its players. These are NOT phrases I would use to describe Orchardleigh golf club. Driving through the gates of the estate resembles the view on the 17th tee at Augusta on a blustery day. Little care seems to be given to the impressions made to both paying members and visitors. Unfortunately, this mild misdemeanour was not put to rights by the attitude of staff. All seemed to be “fed up”. Maybe this was due to the course condition that they too were experiencing. Greens like fairways, fairways like rough and rough like cabbage. Having played other courses in the local area recently, I was bitterly disappointed when faced with putts similar to the slopes that downhill mogul skiers face during the Winter Olympics. Despite this, I believe that this course has all the potential to be fantastic. Beautiful views, a wonderful plot of land and a superb course layout. Maybe, with a little more care from those in charge Orchardleigh can be returned to its best. Until that happens… AVOID.

Great course with some brilliant layouts

Great course that is much improved over the last few years. Deals with wet weather alot better than it use to and apart from a few greens that need some work, the course was in great condition.
