Very impressed

Course conditions were brilliant! Considering where it was about 3 months ago Branston looks to be getting back on track to where it was condition wise. Fairways, rough and greens were lovely. A good challenging course!

Disappointing

Arrived early, clubhouse excellent. Great lunch, friendly staff. Confirmed arrival at Golf hut and was told to start when we were ready. All great.
Course is disappointing. Greens I’m good condition, tees and fairways average. Generally, the course is scruffy and a little untidy at x except the 1st and 18th.
We expected more. Photographs on website looked amazing.

Awful condition

I have played Branston many times and it was always one of my favourite courses. The off course facilities are superb, and on a nice sunny summers day, like yesterday, the whole experience takes some beating.
Yesterday though was a complete and utter disappointment. The fairways should GUR. Yes we have had a dry summer, but the fairways were so bad, that the course should have been closed. To charge visitors £40.00 is an absolute joke for a course that is in such poor condition.
In the last two weeks this is the fourth different course we have played. I would expect hard ground and dry patches as on the other courses but these fairways were bare, cracked and like playing on concrete.

AVOID

Nice course

Unfortunately we had to play off mats. And you need to purchase a piece of matting to play off. £5. Would go back when they play off regular tees

A beautiful sunny day in ideal location

The course has matured very well- wide open fairways, good greens but lots of water to lose balls! Very enjoyable day out and you will enjoy the setting and facilities.

Good set up

Some tricky holes front nine and plenty of long holes especially on back nine but relatively flat track only made more interesting by use of water features most notably on signature 18th up to what is very impressive clubhouse set up. Greens whilst quite fast need some work. Overall reasonable value but some better courses in the area that are cheaper to play

Great place. Bad experience

Having booked our tee time at 10.08, on arrival we were told we couldn’t actually tee off until 10.50 as the seniors had blocked booked for a comp. No problem we went and had some breakfast in the fantastic restaurant overlooking the 18th. The round took us over 5 hours waiting on every tee. Also to make us really welcome we were told by 3 different seniors we shouldn’t even be on there course and tee off times should not let us book when they are there. Awesome ! The course, facilities and staff were great but would suggest ring beforehand to check the grumpy seniors aren’t playing.

Awesome!

Outstanding course and exceptional facilities

The course has plenty of water and even the shorter holes are extremely difficult and you have to pick / manage your way round the course, hit the wrong side of a fairway and you may be blocked out - over 600 yd Par 5 to boot!.
The Greens were outstanding, soft, quick and true with very subtle undulations
First course I've played that had sprinkler heads in the middle of the tees which are huge
Brilliant 18th Hole!!
Ill be back!

10/10

Great course in excellent condition. A challenge for all handicaps. Planning on returning in a few weeks time even though it's a 110 mile round trip. That should confirm how impressed with the course we were

Map on scorecard would be helpful

Good overall course, played here for the first time. We found that finding the next hole on some of the holes proved difficult. Didn't get informed of the 3rd being closed only found out when we walked in to the first tee to see a small sign.

Leafy Branston

Very enjoyable round, bitterly cold, mixture of winter tees and mats, green excellent. Loads of leaves around which makes finding balls off the fairway really difficult, greenskeepers trying their best to get them cleared up, great club house and amenities, highly recommended
