I have played this course many times. Cheap and cheerful is what you would call this place. It is a play and pay course and as expected suffers a little from high handicappers who don’t repair the course as they go round. It is a tough job for the groundkeepers, I would think. It is also very busy and you find that there are many hold ups on tees as so many beginners to the game play it. That is not to say its not enjoyable. I play of a 17 handicap and have shot this course in 2 over. It is not a tough challenge and the only par 5 is easily reachable in 2, even for the shortest hitters, of which I am one. My point was proved with an eagle at the par 5 last week. It does cheer you up to hit such a low score but there are a few tough holes – 6th, 9th and 18th. There is also a 9 hole course which is again great for newcommers to the game. Value for money it is…but play it regularly and you’ll soon tire of the fact that there just aren’t any challenges. There are no hills to speak of either and no water hazards anywhere, unless you are 200 yards off the fairway.

Im only 13 years old and i play poult wood usually twice a week. I have broke 100 several times and broke 90 twice. This course is very good for getting your confidence up and i always look forward to playing there.

P.S

Dont let the 18th hole spoil your round play for par or bogie.

The course is alright but the conditioning is average and the holes are very boring. It is undoubtable cheap but you get what you play for. The course is not long and for a good golfer the challenge is limited. On the positive side the course is good for beginners and high handicappers and it is good to have a 18 hole pay as you play. The holes are quite attractive in places and the pace of play is not to slow.

It is with fear I right this review ..... fear the course will become so popular that I will find it hard to get a teeing off time in the future.

I cannot believe this is a public course. It is excellently maintained, the fairways and greens are in top condition and I cannot praise the green and clubhouse staff more. The green staff do an excellent job and can be witnessed considerately maintaining the course at any time of day. There are also staff patrolling the course chatting to players ensuring there are no problems. The course design is parkland, and how pretty it is.

Though not the longest or most challenging course around, it is fantastic value for money. Stopping at the clubhouse for a snack or full meal afterwards is an enjoyable experience; with comfortable surroundings, friendly staff and good quality value for money food.

A good standard of dress code and player etiquette is required here and I am pleased to say that most players do repair their pitchmarks on the greens. Another plus is that I have not seen a bunker which does not have a rake. I personally like that there are no buggies for hire at Poult Wood; which means no motorised hooligans on the course.

There is also a short 9 hole course which is far too good to be casually referred to as ‘pitch & putt’. It is also maintained to a very high standard.

What more can I say, apart from I have played much inferior courses which charge twice as much. This course is worth travelling a reasonable distance to play and I suggest you book a few days in advance to get your required teeing off time.
