Good value municipal course, holes 3 to 7 are drab, with 4 holes sharing one large fairway - quite intimidating for beginners when the course is busy and dangerous because they are plenty of them. However the course inproves after this and contains some interesting holes. The course is also home to a large population of rabbits, with burrows scattered everywhere particularly on the 11th, where your ball can easily be lost in a hole from a nice blind drive.
Star hole for this course for me is the 9th a par five with many options for a golfer to lose their ball.

As someone returning to golf in the last 6 months after not playing regularly for 6 or 7 years I and a few friends have been playing various courses around South Wales in the past few months. I returned to Earlswood after not playing there for 12 years or more. Have to say it was a very nice surprise! The course is challenging for any handicap I would suggest, not long but undulating to say the least with some intimidating tee shots, particularly the 9th and 14th. I have to commend the condition of the greens, having played through the winter at a variety of different member and muncipal courses the greens at earlswood were,by comparison, in great condition. For a municipal course, only charging £12 a round during winter, you cannot fault it. Have been back 5 or 6 times now and as yet have not duffed a drive into the valley at the 14th.......!

Quite challenging with small fast greens.
Public course thats kept in the same condition as a private one.

I live in Birmingham and the courses tend be flat and not very hilly. This course is the total opposite of what I usually play. The 14th and the 16th are my favourite holes. The 14th being a daunting drive across a small valley and the 16th a nice easy 9 or pitch wedge out into thin air and then watch the ball drop onto the green about 50 feet (if not more) below the tee!!!
Very interesting course with some nice views over Swansea bay and Mumbles.

great course!! greens much improved and are as good as any membership only clubs I have played at.holes 3 to 7, although are up and down the same field, are also a great training ground for people who are having any driver problems, but after hole seven, forget training!!Personally, I have failed to score under 10 for the par five ninth, and have played there four times so far. Nearly holed in one on the sixteenth on one memorable occasion (ball hit the flag).thoroughly enjoyed playing here,more municipal courses like this required.

I love playing at Earlswood golf club. It's a challenging course i think. I am not the best at golf. It is a hilly course, but fun.

Actually quite difficult after 7th hole. Holes 3-7 are boring as you tread up and down the same 300 yd wide fairway. Holes 8-18 are great fun though. The drive on the 14th must carry at least 150 yds across holes 11 & 12 below. It is very hilly though, with some treacherous descents if you have a trolley, especially on the 16th which is 149 yds straight downhill- green or gorse.

For eight pound a round, you can't go wrong here. Well known localy for it's daunting, par 3, sixteenth called "Bethal's bench". The greens are not perfect but hay, what do you want for eight quid! I always enjoy playing this course as do all my mates.

This course is reasonably tuned out and a challenging round.
It's difficulty belies it's yardage due to the fact that the course is severely underlating.
Lack of bunkers and contours on greens make this course pretty easy when you get within 120 or so yards.
