Melton Mowbray Golf Club

The course was quite wet and we had to play off a mat. The holes were interesting and varied. Some holes had the black and white aim posts (not in the correct place for a big hitter).
Would likely be lovely in spring/summer bit not great value when wet and playing off a mat.

The pace of play was terribly bad we were stuck behind a three ball and we were a two Ball..

Never a hint of the 3 elderly blokes letting us through despite waiting at every tee since the 7th hole for at least 1O minutes...They said on the 17th there was a four ball in front of them... They were right but they were 2 holes in front of them.
This was very disappointing indeed..

Lovely course. Great condition
Greens lightening 😂
Very quiet so I flew around. Straight course, not too much trouble to get into but well worth the trip,
Cruzcampo served in bar too!💪🍺

Greens were like bunkers, no green at all and no pre warning to the extensive maintenance undertaken..

I recently had the opportunity to play a round at Melton Town Golf Course, and unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. Unfortunately, several issues detracted from the overall experience.

One of the most glaring problems was the state of the greens. It was evident that they were in a state of disrepair, with patches of uneven grass and numerous bare spots. This made putting a frustrating endeavor.. It's disheartening to see a golf course neglect such a crucial aspect, as the condition of the greens significantly impacts the quality of play.

Furthermore, the fairways at Melton Town Golf Course were disappointingly indistinguishable from the rough. The lack of maintenance and care rendered the fairways less defined.

Aside from the physical condition of the course, there was an eerie atmosphere that pervaded the entire facility. Whether it was the lack of activity, minimal staff presence, or the general neglect of the surroundings, the ambiance was far from inviting.

Adding to the disappointment was the fact that, at £23, the round of golf was not value for money. Given the subpar conditions of the course, the price seemed disproportionately high compared to the quality of the golfing experience provided.

While the potential for improvement exists, addressing these issues is crucial to elevate the overall golfing experience at this course. Until significant improvements are made, I would caution golf enthusiasts to explore alternative options in the area for a more satisfying round of golf and better value for their money.

Don’t waste your money, course is a shambles. Think the mower must be broken as you can’t differentiate between rough and “fairway”. Greens are a state. Appreciate its winter golf but it’s terrible value for money.

Previous reviews had raved about the course condition, However, the day we went this was not the case. Think they may have lost the lawn mower because it was impossible to differentiate between fairway, rough and even greens sometimes. As if the conditions couldn’t get any worse the layout was extremely boring, very much up and down with only 1 or 2 holes that require some ball movement from the tee.
The guy in the pro shop was very friendly and welcoming which was a nice touch, unfortunately rather pointlessly, sternly reminded us we should have spike wheels on our trolleys but how were we to know, no signs or warnings.

Overall very poor course conditions and I personally wasn’t a fan of the layout. I will add I did play in January which could excuse some level of the course but laziness has definitely set in with the green keepers.

Thanks Melton GC

We played the course following a couple of days of really bad rain and although some parts were a bit wet it played well. The greens with very well kept which was a surprise considering the earlier reviews. There were a couple of temporary greens set up, a little annoying as they were virtually unplayable but these thing have to be done to maintain the course. On the good side, we were warned by the nice gentleman in the pro shop and it didn't really bother us too much just take a 1 putt inside 6 ft.

The tree on the side of each fairway make it a challenge with wayward tee offs being punished with difficult seconds shots back over or through a lot of tall trees.

The rough is kept low, which I prefer as this keep play faster than spending hours looking for a ball in deep rough.

Not too much water, just a couple of ponds of which my ball was magnetised to.

I will definitely return on a golf now discount.

We’ve spent a couple of years travelling around Golf courses in the midlands and Melton Mowbray GC is definitely in the best condition by far. The greens are amazing with the fairways and tee off area well groomed. A great day out and a really good challenge, friendly staff and great facilities…
Would recommend…

Great course after all the heavy downpours. Greens immaculate. Staff very friendly and attentive as we're the members who let me tee off before them .
