Whitefield Golf Club

Played the course on saturday morning and it was in brilliant condition, the tee beds were flat, the fairways well maintained and your ball ran out and the greens ran true. The club shop had changed into a cafe so the pro was working out of a cabbin which is lightly stocked. the only 2 problems i had were nothing to do with the standard of the course, there was a 3 ball infront of are 3 ball which played like they was on the pga tour n wouldnt let us through and i was told it would b £20 for the round when i booked it but when we turned up they had so called put it up to £25 on that day

I played this course for 15 pounds after 4pm on a weekday. It is a mixture of flattish parkland style holes mixed in with some absolutely memorable challenging holes. The off course facilities are excellent-especially watching the opening drives from the first floor terrace of the club house. Anyway..the course: trees are mature and get you in trouble. The fairways are well maintained and give some run. The greens were a lot slower than they looked and that was my only reall gripe-faster, truer greens needed. HOWEVER, some holes here are amazing: The par 3 5th: 200yds off the yellows and everything falls away to the left: demands accuracy but asks for brute force if you want to hit a iron! Then the par 3 9th: Tee off from a raised tee 188 yds to a green with trouble everywhere if you hit it short or wayward!One hole respite and then you have two of the BEST HOLES anywhere: a par 3 180yd hole to a small table top green over a tangle of thick rough, bushes and stinging nettles...a real "lap of the gods shot". This is followed by the signature hole which is one of the best holes ever: A par 4 388yd which drops from a raised tee into a small vale with trees, bushes, thistle and ball hungry rough on the slopes lining the hole. It's a brilliant hole which will make you smile! the last gem is the 17th par 3 which is 191yds with six bunkers catching anything wayward or mis-hit: a card-wrecker when you're tired from the last few holes! Great course, great fun and THE STAND golf course is right next door which means you can play 36 holes if you have the energy!

played this course 29/10/09 and what a treat it is even this late into the season course was in superb condition, a very challenging course i'm a 26 handicap but still able to get round with what i thought was a respecable score so it does give us high handicap players a chance, would also challenge a low handicap as well i think with tight fairways and some long par 3's which require a fair amout of carry over trouble. the new club house is a very nice building, and shop staff are very friendly as were the members, didnt have a drink or meal so cant comment on the quility. am planning to become a member here which shows how much the course impressed me give it a go its a pleasure

The golf course is a good challenge, not suitable for the higher handicaps. The new club house is now open,unfortunately the staff do not welcome guests so better if you give the club house a miss. Not as friendly as their web site would have you believe

I've played Whitefield GC many times over the past 20 years and I keep coming back for more! In the last couple of years they have done lots of work to the course, new tees, improved bunkers, paths etc. and it's now an absolute pleasure. From the yellow tees it isn't long but it's both fair for higher handicaps and a real test for lower ones. Last time I played it was in superb condition, beautifully manicured fairways and slick greens. A treat. I must say too that I have always had a very friendly reception from the members at WGC. I believe the new clubhouse is now opened and, incredibly, they are offering deals on full membership!

Played on the GreenFree vouchers and really enjoyed it. Course in really good condition, greens were very good for mid-October. The front 9 is not too bad, in fact the first three holes are relatively straightforward. Then it gets tough, the par 3's are mainly long apart from the 3rd, and about 190 yards all requiring big carries over trouble. All in a great challenge.

I played this course on 17th June 2006 and I have to say it was an absolute pleasure. At under five thousand eight hundred yards from the yellow tees its not a long course by any stretch but visually this undulating parkland course is stunning. It has criss cross cut, very tight fairways and even the rough is cut in lines so every hole has a very impressive 'Wentworth' look to them. The bunkering is well thought out and the sand in them is very soft so they are a 'pleasure' to play out of, the greens were in excellent condition, quick, with a good pure roll and hardly a pitch mark to be seen anywhere, you can only blame yourself for any missed putts. There are a few short par 4's and only one par 5 over 500 yards, however there are also 6 par 4's at over four hundred yards so score well where you have your chance. The 440 yard 13th is the best of them, visually stunning, a downhill tee shot to a very tight fairway and an uphill second shot to a sloping green make this an absolute crackerjack. The real stars of this course though are the 5 par three's, the easiest of which is the 140 yard third, its bunkered to bits and has the locals' back gardens 5 yards away so club selection is critical to say the least! The other 4 par three's are all between 180 and 190 yards and are as tough a set of par three's as you'll ever see. Each require a well struck long iron or lofted wood to hit the target. The 5th is a blind tee shot and the land to the left and to the back of the green falls away dramatically and 9th and 11th are visually very intimidating, you either hit the target with a long iron or your'e looking at double bogey at least. The 17th (in the photograph) again is visually superb but its also 190 yards long so tough to say the least. So like any decent course there are opportunities to score well if you play well but this course will also hurt you if the shots are not struck well There are some new flats being built on the old club car park so there's not much space to park,ad the clubhouse is being renovated over the coming months, I did not use any of the clubhouse faclilities so I cannot comment on them, however the shop staff were very friendly and helpful. I paid twenty sheets for a twilight round on a Saturday and if you have a 2for1 voucher it could be even cheaper.

Not a bad course. Greens and Fairways in excellent condition, which showed in my score! Be careful of the 17/18th Combo - As you finish up going down into a hollow style par 3 followed by a very steep starting par 4 - which of course you have to drag your body up!! But I wouldn't pay the £45 for a round that was quoted - thank god for half price offers.
