Comment

Bidford Grange has been under new ownership since October 2008.

"Set in 230 acres of delightfully landscaped Warwickshire countryside, our 18-hole par 72 championship length course is one of the longest and most challenging courses in England. The course, which can measure 7,233 yards from the back tees with a standard scratch of 74, is built like a links course. American bent grass greens are fully irrigated with a host of water hazards on the back nine holes, with another four running alongside the River Avon.
Perhaps the toughest tests on the course are the mammoth 600 yard 17th, the up-hill par-four 4th and the 233 yard "short" 7th. The front nine plays like a links course due to the open setting while the back nine poses a wholly different challenge with water coming into play on seven of the holes. Course management accuracy and nerves of steel are the order of the day as the holes wind their way around four large man-made lakes and border the River Avon."

Reviews

Just got back from a great weekend at the Bidford Grange golf and country club...
We had a ball from Friday morning through to Sunday afternoon.
The golf course was really nice to play... everyone enjoyed it, although the back nine was a little tough for the higher handicappers... the condition couldn't be faulted tho, apart from a couple of bunkers here and there... but that would be nit picking to be fair.
The hotel was lovely and clean... the room was clean and neat and tidy, with tv and coffee facilities.. bathroom was clean and well kept.
The lunch was excellent, as was the breakfast, the evening meal was fine, but it is common with mass catering to have a slight drop in standards.
The staff coudn't be faulted, friendly and approachable... especially considering the late nights we had with them. The next morning they was up bright and early and still just as friendly... they worked tirelessly throught the weekend...
It's a shame we are not planning going back next year and i for 1 will be looking forward to the next time we visit Bidford Grange.

Although under new ownership for 11 months, the course remains in poor condition: pockmarked greens with some loose earth, and most  fairway bunkers overgrown/ GUR. It's a shame as the layout is interesting and with serious investment it could be a great course. On the evidence of our visit, the management also allow too may players per hour at weekends, meaning long waits before every shot. It's £10 with a 2-1 voucher but next time I'll pay a bit more and go elsewhere.

Despite what the description says this course is terrible. There is no club shop there is no buggy hire the facilities are awful the course it self is in poor condition and even after the 2 for 1 offer it was not worth ten pounds for the first time in my life i couldnt wait to get of the course 1 of our 4 ball even walked off after 12 holes avoid like the plague
