So two or three times a year my brother, brother in law, nephew and myself randomly play a course we've never been to and my brother chose hennerton. It had been raining heavily the night before, and we arrived to find the car park had only 5 cars in it with only 3 groups on the course. The guy we met in the shop was extremely pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable and even gave us a very reasonable discount as some of the greens were puddled in places. (he mentioned temp greens but all greens were playable, and we didn't see a temp green) the course is short (4200 yards}) with some very quirky holes, 8 par 3s, 3 of which were in a row. After 3 holes the heavens opened up and although prepared we got drenched. Lots of hills to climb and at times the terrain resembled Monaco grand prix, we had to be quite careful of the slippery pathways. A par 5 15th and a fairly long par4 18th with pond and fountain took us back to a nice terrace and well needed drink in the now warm sunshine. A short driving range with putting green and chipping area, (all of which I should have used before teeing off) ?? So for £25 and a lit of laughs I look forward to going back but probably not for a while. Ps my brother Brian managed to inadvertently turn his trolley on while looking for his ball, we all laughed as it crossed 2 fairways through an avenue of trees narrowly missing an electricity pylon before finishing in some thick woods throwing clubs, bag, battery and trolley in various directions ?? and no one caught it on camera ??

Mytime golf were offering a 2 for 1 voucher, it was only £7.50 each too good to miss. Quite busy but everyone we came across was friendly. Though it hasn't stopped raining for weeks the course wasn't waterlogged though some greens were a bit spongy underfoot. Wedge approaches became a separate competition on who could repair their pitch marks the best. Overall a great day and the sun was out.

Everything was fine,though booked online but wouldn't except the voucher code B42 buggy for 2. Phoned and was told they don't reserve buggies it was first come first served. But when we arrived there were 4 buggies not being used but was told they were reserved? Anyway was quite busy so was glad to have walked.
