Horrendous greens

Unfortunately I tagged onto my cousins tee time and didn't book through golfnow..... they charged me £33.50 for the privilege..... the fairways were fine ... as were the bunkers.... but the greens were absolutely horrendous!! Literally hardly any grass on them to call them greens.... many had huge cracks..... do not throw your money away here

No Greens

I feel for the members of the club, you cannot seriously expect anyone to have a true score with the greens in that condition !! We gave up scoring

Such a shame, the place is a mess

The greens are absolutely terrible, to the point where you can't actually play. Such a shame because the course has a great layout and is unique with the proximity to the airport but there a thing called water and if you don't water or even try to maintain the greens then what's the point. To charge £40 to play was absolutely criminal. Sadly its the last time we'll see this course, it needs a complete makeover.

Staff not clued up, more sand on green than bunker

Arrived 10 mins before tee time and checked in. Made it seem like a problem i’d booked through Golf Now but basically, they’d double booked. Told to ‘find a gap’ between the 3 x 4 balls that were waiting on 1st hole. When i asked about starting on 10 was told it was too busy. Started on 10 anyway and flew through it was so quiet. God knows how long i’d have waited if i started at 1. Fairways and borders were really good but the greens were brown and sandy

Amazing value for money

What a lovely afternoon we had playing the course. Apart from a few of the greens the course was fantastic and ideal for a mid to high handicapper as we both are. Great value for money and hardly saw another person as we went round. Challenging enough with plenty of hazards and overall 9/10. Playing again this weekend!!

Great atmosphere at the club, friendly staff

Had a great round with my 10 year old, the club made him feel very welcome, as did the members, the staff are 5 star, been playing here 37 years and it has maintained the standard. Only gripe would be a couple of the greens.

Good and enjoyable

The course is well played out for a decent round of golf. Course is in nice condition with a bit of work required in a few of the greens. Overall a good value for money course to play and will be going again

An overall disappointing effort. The front 9 were passable, greens however are like dirty carpets, don’t play true. Was told the back 9 was open, however, when we reached the back 9, they had more in common with a rainforest than a golf course. Unfortunately the MyTime courses are, in large, not tended very well, if at all. Had a membership after an absence of a few years, due to poor conditions, had this membership cancelled as there has been no improvements at all

Some Challenging Holes, Greens Not Great

I love this course, with the aircraft taking off over the fence with Birmingham Airport as you play. The only slight issue was that some of the greens were not very smooth - lots of drainage holes and some sand, making putting accurately very difficult.

Playing at Hatchford Brooke

Enjoyed playing this course, Bunkers could have done with more sand in.Overall fairways & greens were in good condition.For this time of the year greens could have been more quicker.Course was very quiet which suited us no body pressing from behind overall enjoyed playing this course.

Birmingham Airport

Hatchford Brook, nice sunny day!!! First time playing course, small firm greens. Deep rough if off target slightly. Short course, worth a visit for the cost.

greens a challenge due to their speed on this visit
