Played BM today and although I know it's part of the Crown Group it's pretty much like a municipal. My last visit here was about a year ago when the condition left a lot to be desired.

As the previous reveiwer has stated this is definitely now not the case.

The course is really a very straight forward parkland layout with a couple of long par 3's. The condition today was superb - tees, fairways and greens.

I would like to say that I'd be happy to go back, but sadly I had to walk off after 9 holes as there were three groups in front who were clearly beginners who had no comprehension of the etiquette of the game. This is especially sad as the club have reprinted their scorecards and they have included a whole side on the etiquette of the game - but clearly these guys can't read.

I have nothing against beginners (we were all there at one time) but they should not be let loose on their own. The effect of this kind of scenario is that experienced golfers will go elsewhere for their golf leaving BM blighted with these people taking endless amounts of time hacking it all of the place.

Is there a solution to this, becasuse it's a shame when the greens staff have clearly put in the work to present the course so well.

I last played this course nearly 2 years ago and was very critical of its condition, particularly the then appalling state of the greens. I have now played again taking advantage of their excellent value £9.99 early bird offer.

I am happy to say that the course is now in good condition for a heavily used pay and play facility. The greens now really look like the real deal, though a touch slow for my taste. It is a fairly open parkland course, not overly challenging except for 3 of the 4 par 3s, which are long and difficult to hit with the 3rd hole in particular having the direct route well guarded by a pond and bunker. The 15th SI 2 is also a bit of a monster par 4 at 460yds with suitably placed upslopes to kill the run on the drive and approach.

A course I would now happily play again, at the right price.

Played at this course for the first time today, and was quite impressed from start to finish. I was warned that the club "lost their greens" during the summer but they are all back to a reasonable standard now (although far from perfect.) The course starts with two very easy holes but gets tougher as the front nine progresses. Highlights of the course are the 3 (out of 4) long par 3's.

Played this course on 19/8/06

Course is in good condition, however be warned the greens are awful, they are patchy and do not run true at all, putting is practically impossible. The bunkers are also in need of re-sanding

I played this course a few years ago and it was of a much better standard all round

Think long and hard before spending £24 whilst the greens are in their current condition

The clubhouse and facilities were os their previous high standard

A few years ago I used to play this course regularly and decided to take advantage of their £9.99 twilight rate that on paper looked excellent value at this time of year. I was hugely disappointed in the state of the course, it seems to have gone to rack and ruin. The greens were completely unplayable for proper golf having been totally burnt out by the current spell of hot weather so that there was barely a blade of green, and they were full of cracks and holes. If you can imagine putting on a carpet of completedly dried out cracked moss, that's about right. The course layout is farily open parkland, quite interesting and makes you think about whether to go for it or lay up. The par 3s are a particular challenge with a 230yd monster and others around 180+ with pond guards. I wouldn't play it again unless I hear the greens are back.

I have played at Blue Mountain over the last few weeks and without doubt this course is in as good condition as any of the others I have played lately. Tee boxes are a bit ropey but not too bad considering it is Winter. Greens are good. Players could take more time to repair divots on fairways and pitch marks on greens which does not seem to happen as well here.

Catering and bar are good with freindly staff.

Always be prepared to take 5 hours to play as it does really back up 10 through 15.
