The Branston Golf & Country Club - Championship Course

Quite a lot of water hazards around the course but most re easily avoided. Fairways wide and forgiving. Lots of ditches across the holes but all easily identified by the small brick bridges
We enjoyed our round and will return again this week.
18th finishes in front of the clubhouse with a pond in front so I nice way to finish.

Course conditions were brilliant! Considering where it was about 3 months ago Branston looks to be getting back on track to where it was condition wise. Fairways, rough and greens were lovely. A good challenging course!

Arrived early, clubhouse excellent. Great lunch, friendly staff. Confirmed arrival at Golf hut and was told to start when we were ready. All great.
Course is disappointing. Greens I’m good condition, tees and fairways average. Generally, the course is scruffy and a little untidy at x except the 1st and 18th.
We expected more. Photographs on website looked amazing.

I have played Branston many times and it was always one of my favourite courses. The off course facilities are superb, and on a nice sunny summers day, like yesterday, the whole experience takes some beating.
Yesterday though was a complete and utter disappointment. The fairways should GUR. Yes we have had a dry summer, but the fairways were so bad, that the course should have been closed. To charge visitors £40.00 is an absolute joke for a course that is in such poor condition.
In the last two weeks this is the fourth different course we have played. I would expect hard ground and dry patches as on the other courses but these fairways were bare, cracked and like playing on concrete.

AVOID

Unfortunately we had to play off mats. And you need to purchase a piece of matting to play off. £5. Would go back when they play off regular tees

The course has matured very well- wide open fairways, good greens but lots of water to lose balls! Very enjoyable day out and you will enjoy the setting and facilities.

Some tricky holes front nine and plenty of long holes especially on back nine but relatively flat track only made more interesting by use of water features most notably on signature 18th up to what is very impressive clubhouse set up. Greens whilst quite fast need some work. Overall reasonable value but some better courses in the area that are cheaper to play

Having booked our tee time at 10.08, on arrival we were told we couldn’t actually tee off until 10.50 as the seniors had blocked booked for a comp. No problem we went and had some breakfast in the fantastic restaurant overlooking the 18th. The round took us over 5 hours waiting on every tee. Also to make us really welcome we were told by 3 different seniors we shouldn’t even be on there course and tee off times should not let us book when they are there. Awesome ! The course, facilities and staff were great but would suggest ring beforehand to check the grumpy seniors aren’t playing.

Course in fantastic condition. Greens true and challenging.
Not played here for couple of years. Will return soon.

Outstanding course and exceptional facilities

The course has plenty of water and even the shorter holes are extremely difficult and you have to pick / manage your way round the course, hit the wrong side of a fairway and you may be blocked out - over 600 yd Par 5 to boot!.
The Greens were outstanding, soft, quick and true with very subtle undulations
First course I've played that had sprinkler heads in the middle of the tees which are huge
Brilliant 18th Hole!!
Ill be back!

Great course in excellent condition. A challenge for all handicaps. Planning on returning in a few weeks time even though it's a 110 mile round trip. That should confirm how impressed with the course we were

Good overall course, played here for the first time. We found that finding the next hole on some of the holes proved difficult. Didn't get informed of the 3rd being closed only found out when we walked in to the first tee to see a small sign.
