Played Thornhurst for the first time 21st June 08. Unfortunatly, due to an over booking we had to start from the 10th...but this posed no real problem.

On the whole the course was in excellent condition from tee to green and well worth the £14 green fee. The course has a variety of differing holes making you think about each and every shot.

The only negative element to the course is the 2nd whole. I personally think Tiger Woods would struggle to find the fairway through the trees. You have to hit your tee shot through the eye of a needle and land it in an area the size of a postage stamp to make the dogleg. Have a look at it on the overhead shot provided by this web site. Its the hole that looks like a pathway through the trees. I bet this hole has ruined many a score card...it did mine.

Overall...well worth playing again and again.

Enjoyed the course, luckily got the sun so the course was dry. All official Tees and greens in play.

Initial reaction was good friendly pro in the pro shop and warm welcome, only downside was no catering facilities open until 11am so had to make do with coffee from pro shop....avoid at all costs it was shocking!!

A nice tricky opening couple of holes and generally pleasing outward 9. Must be honest and say the inward 9 around 13/14/15/16 are a little bland and no defintion of fairway/semi, semi/rough. To finish a cracking 18th which is open to a risk if chasing a good score or safe option if protecting a lead.

Overall a nice course that given time with a little TLC can become very, very nice and at £21 for the day you can't grumble.

The lunchtime food was exceptional and at a reasonable price too.

Enjoyed the course, wet condition generally , quite boggy

off the faiway , all holes playing to the main greens.

A windy day the course played quite long a good test

of your swing approx 6400yds.

Apart from the 2nd hole which is through an alley of trees

quite a open course.

played this on saturday 27th october 2007 as a society group......we payed £37 for morning coffee with bacon sandwich 9 holes of golf, soup and sandwiches, then 18 holes folowed by a 3 course meal......all the food was excellent and well worth the money...the golf course was in ecellent condition and proved to be a real test of golf..theres lots of different types of holes with dog legs turning left and right if variety is what your after then you cant go wrong here.all the holes ask something different of your game the greens are not just flat pieces of land either they will test even the best of putters..i do know that a few years ago this course was in poor shape.but recent renovations on the course and clubhouse have turned it into a little gem and at £11 for a round (amazing value) you will be hard pressed not to be IM pressed...........the staff deserve a special mention also they were very helpful and friendly and made our day that little bit better than it was.........put it on your to play list even if you dont play great youll appreciate the challenge....oh and by the way modesty prevents me from telling you who birdied the last..ahem ahem............

Played for first time and what an absolute bargain. The course has obviously matured a lot since the the earlier comments and is now a real challenge with some great features. If your golf is poor then the wildlife to be viewed is fantastic. Now the bad bit. Most of the greens have severe slopes on them and for some strange reason the greenkeeper feels it OK to put the holes on the slopes which makes putting more like crazy golf.

Played today ( 29th April )with our society, 26 members attended. The course was in good condition and is a balanced challenge with long holes, well positioned water hazards and some dog legs requiring sound course management. The package is always good value and must recommend including the 3 course meal. The staff are very friendly and ensure things run smoothly from your arrival.

The course is developing well with tree planting programmes on the back 9 starting to recreate the woodland feel of the more mature front holes.

Well worth a visit, and as previous reports have noted, look out for the 90 deg dogleg left 2nd hole
