Old Fold Manor Golf Club

Good course, well maintained, enjoyable round of golf, will be playing a round next week.

Mature parkland (with a linksy feel in places) fairways are fine - first cut of rough was punative (so best to keep on the fairways). A good mix of interesting holes with some very challenging greens (true enough but so very tricky).

Not a lot of parking spaces, and this is a well disguised golf club, so rely on your Sat Nav - I must have missed all of the signposts. Pro shop is friendly enough and the locals are welcoming. Club house is soft spikes.

This is a nice walking course - not too many elevation changes and just a good challenge for all levels of player.

I played with a low handicapper (7) who had par'd around the previous day, but was soon down to my level. Be advised there are a number of cleverly placed obstacles.

The locals fret about their 18th (last sghot across water) but fo those who have played Staplford Abbots/Priors or royal Epping... this 18th is a doddle (with a very wriggly green though.

Visitor green fees at £30.00 for Saturday afternoon... there are deals to be had here.

First thing to say is the greens on this course are as good as I've ever played on - ANYWHERE!! I cant congratulate the club enough on how well maintained they are! I dont think I could find a fault on a single green out of 18. The rest of the course is rolling parkland, well looked after and there is enough to test all levels here. Friendly in the pro-shop and a nice area to have a drink after too. Only downside is cost to vistors at £45 but you get 25% off with the Open Fairways card which makes it easier to take.

A message to any other clubs reading - this is what your greens should be like....I will definately be going back again!
