Holtye Golf Club

This is an awesome course, with some of the tightest fairways you will ever meet. It has one the toughest par 4's around, the 3rd/12th hole being 456 yards long with out of bounds down both sides of a thin fairway. The 4th/13th is the best par three with a tight line down trees and sloping green and two huge bunkers in front of the green. The tee boxes on the back nine are toally different so you have to rethink how you played the hole first time around and often rethink your strategy. The pro shop is the best for miles, with a massive range and excellent advice. One of the best courses i have had the pleasure of playing on. Awesome

Played the course on a lovely late spring evening. Although short, the course is a true test, with accuracy being at a premium. The countryside is lovely and the course just has a wonderful feeling about it. The tee box variations mean that the 2 nines have very different angles of approach. My playing partner enjoyed it so much he is now a member. Very good value for money at £12 and a very well stocked and reasonably priced pro shop.

Didn't play the course but walked it when I was in the area. Appeared a quirky but great looking. Saw a couple of beginners and they were struggling badly. Guess it's a place to avoid unless you can hit the ball straight.

Short, tight course in spectacular scenery. Don't be put off by the easy 1st/10th - it gets better, especially the stunning 4th/13th (193 par 3 downhill through the trees). Although only 2x9 holes, the tee boxes are moved sufficiently to give the holes completely different characters east time round.
Basic clubhouse, but the food in the pub next door is usually awful - try one nearby if possible.
In great nick considering the weather down there.
