Blacknest Golf Club

Although the course is fairly short, 5478 yards from the yellows, it is far trickier than you might first think. The frequently tree lined fairways aren't the widest, but there's a good mix of holes, and quite a few of them where there are opportunities to drop shots. Water, ditches and bunkers play a part on most holes.

The greens aren't huge, but they were in a very decent condition, and with the recent hot/dry weather it made finding them a little awkward.

The clubhouse is on the smaller side, but it is very friendly and the food was good, and the welcome there and in the proshop was very pleasant.

I certainly intend going back again soon!

Blacknest golf course is very good value for money. The fairways are suffering due the hot weather and the greens are a little bumpy. During the week around twelve it appears to be very quite, ideal for people like myself still learning the game. Some good offers during the week.
