I have only just started playing golf. But this club is
not a private one however it is packed all year round. Each
hole offers something different, where the fairway narrows
and quite a few are tree lined with a narrowing to the greens,
with a few tricky bunkers around the greens. The greens are
not very large so precautions need to be taken when going
for the green from one hundred yards in. The down side is
that because so many play on there is a constant pressure
to play quicker, or else some players just start to hit the
ball towards you. Myself I like to think about the shot and
what I am trying to achieve before I play my next shot. I
am not a slow player I play around in around 3.5 to 4 hours.

Nice course for a municipal but try getting an early tee
off time at the weekend. Impossible. Lines always engaged
and staff unfriendly and unhelpful.

Extremely busy pay and play course.

Really playable and enjoyable course that represents excellent
value for money which is why it can get quite busy.

Agree with other comments. This course is busy and rounds
are usually in excess of 4 hours. That said for £14
per round at weekends you could do a lot worse. The course
has suffered in recent years as it had to be redesigned to
make way for Sheffield airport. However its signature hole
is the par four 18th with an extremely testing two tiered
green. Need to be straight, as trouble can wait around the
next corner. Worth looking at.

Good course, staff are helpful, lines are busy but it is
worth the trouble to book. Recommend play before November
as some of the fairways tend to get soft but the green staff
are tackling this.

A well laid out course that's very enjoyable with very well
maintained greens, i have only experienced booking problems
when leaving it till the last minute & usually manage
a round on there once a week and get the time i want give
or take 10 mins, definitely one of the best council run courses
in Sheffield.

Well matured challenging parkland course which is well the
£14 green fee. I've played courses with £30 and
more green fees which are no way near as good as this one.
Unfortunately it gets too busy and is very hard to get booked
onto phones are mostly engaged and rarely get answered. If
you can cope with the slow play Tinsley is a brilliant course
with every thing you would want whatever level of golfer you
are.

A particularly challenging but forgiving course. Extremely well maintained, even the wooded and out of bounds areas, many of which I found myself in on a regular basis. Highly recommended for beginners!

Very nice course. I really enjoyed my walks in the woods. I am somewhat confused about previous reviews complaining about course being busy and slow play, I was playing this course at least eight hours and there was nobody in front of me.
