Top Meadow Golf Club

Really enjoyed visiting Top Meadow, unfortunately it was a freezing cold day with a wicked Eastly wind. The club house car park is shared other facilities, getting a parking place can be a chore. The staff from the club shop, too the catering staff are friendly and very helpful. The club was very busy on the day, with a massive society going out before our society of 14 players. But that did not slow us, however there were members jumping in on certain holes that irritated some. Having no course guide made things a bit tricky as there are many blind holes, none of us had played the course before in my group. The course is Parkland with some challenging holes. You start on an elevated tee, hitting onto a par 3 green, very easy to run through. The fairways were on great condition, but the greens... although they looked nice were long and very very slow. But considering our winter, the course was in terrific condition. I would love to return and play the course on a bright warm day. I was wearing five layers and was still cold! We had a breakfast and Ham Egg and chips on our return. With 18 holes we were charged an amazing £30!!! That is cheap golf. The buggy which was petrol was £22. Give Top Meadow a go, it is a great test of golf and will not break the bank, but choose a warm day! Good luck getting a parking space, though they do open a field for extra parking on very busy days.

top meadow is an interesting course well laid out with a variety of hazards, providing interesting golf for players of most levels.

Fair, and in places tough. Great views, nice holes, will play again as very good value.

Thought it was a interesting course, that still gave you a chance
Greens seemed okay to me, thought overall for the money it was great.

Last time I played here there were staked trees lol, how time flies enjoyed it back then and still do, great!!!

The fairways are quite open but when you get to the greens it does tighten up. The greens still need a bit of work but by July should be fine. Staff are friendly. It has a driving range plus a practice area for chipping and putting and if you play twilight, value for money is excellent.

A Course that's great value for money at £16 with a Full English Breakfast, I have a couple of gripes about the course, though. Although the course is well laid out at nearly 6000 yards, the fairways are not in top nick with lots of bare patches and unevenly cut. Also, several holes with G.U.R. which spoilt the run ups to the greens from the fairways. The major issue was the Greens; they were all full of disease and very uneven, a smooth putt was never going to happen on these. Hopefully they will sort these issues out soon as the course itself is ok.

Course could be in better condition but cant really fault it at £8 twilight. As a resident I got it half price £4 Don`t usually bother with buggies but couldn`t refuse at £10

Wouldn`t want to be a member here but would play again.

especially when it comes with a free fry up for £16, it has been very wet lately as we all know so the greens were a bit ropey, (and i'm sticking to that one with the way I chipped and putted on them ! ), On a nice sunny day there is much to enjoy at Top Meadow for the price. I have always found the staff very friendly and accommodating, esp with regard to my son who has severe autism. So come and enjoy

Not a bad day out all in all. £16 including breakfast is well worth it. Not overly difficult, and (probably) quite pretty.... unfortunately played in the 'fog of 2012'!! Will be back if schedules permit.

Well presented, this is a well worth the visit, whilst there were a number of temp tees it did not detract from the playability. Sunshine and light breezes combined to make this a good day out, once the fog had lifted, the panoramic views were revealed. Pretty course - trees in blossom - nice mix of challenges and something for every level.

Good scores are possible, but take care as the course can bite back. Well kept fairways, and greens were slick and fair enough. A nice walking course, well worth a second visit, and clubhouse facilities are well regarded...

Good value for money and well worth a visit and the food was good too!

Not long, but some very good golf holes, one particular par 5 ...happy to walk off with a bogey. Greens are OK to good, depending upon when they are cut, ...the day I played they were quite wooly, and not too true. Fairways very well kept though.
A hidden gem and certainly value for money - £16 includes a full English breakfast. I will definitely play it again.

With great facilites and warm up practice areas this course is great value for money. Fair ways and greens could be improved. This is a test for any level of golfer with some real tough holes.
