Reviews |
If golf courses were cars, this would be a Smart Car -
sports!
It's compact, accessible, welcoming, full of character with
the odd surprise tossed into the mix.
Rewarding to those looking to open the shoulders but featuring
a number of well positioned pins that bring water into play
virtually throughout it's a challenge but never a chore. Yes
you do have to go round twice to make up
the 18 but variable pin positioning avoides the groundhog
day experience of some contemporary courses. The fact that
my ball plugged on the 8th green was either testimony to my
new-found rotation skills or a hint that this
former farmer's field isn't the best "drainer" but
it didn't spoil a very pleasant afternoon rounded off with
obligatory bacon baguette in convivial company. So ignore
the crowds and take Braisford for a test drive.

I have read the Brailsford Golf Club review and would
like to advise people that it has recently been updated with
some new holes.
Not being an expert and only having played it once recently
i wouldn't like to compare or contrast the experience of the
course. However it is a bit
more challenging and it adds more variety and one of the holes,
4 I think, is absolutely stunning to look at from the tee
off.
