I've played this course a number of times over the last few months, but mainly because its nearby and its cheap. Make no mistake, this is not a jewel in golf's crown, but it does provide somewhere for average-or-worse golfers to improve their game.

Good points: While it may only be simple parkland, there are no eyesores to spoil the view. The course will suit beginners or higher handicappers with its generous fairways and lack of really difficult or threatening holes. Green fees are good value, especially for twilight rounds. The pro shop is a simple yet friendly establishment, and there are opportunites for a cuppa, both before you tee off and later on after the turn. No driving range, but there is a practice green ahead of the first tee.

Bad points: The tees are not necessarily well looked after, some have their markers missing, yard markers are sometimes inaccurate or absent, and generally sign-age around the course is poor. If you dont know where your going to get to the next tee, its not always obvious. Greens are slow, plagued by 'bobbles', and generally inconsistent from one hole to the next. Did I mention the greens are really really slow? Bunkers are a lottery - Some have sand, some seemingly just dirt and stones - and good luck finding a rake.

The general impression is that with a little bit of maintenance this could become a nice course to play. Accomplished players will not have too much trouble here, but it's just enough for ordinary players to be tested. If you can live with the greens, you'll enjoy a round at Whitewebbs and have enough change in your pocket for a drink afterwards

This is a good course for beginners. They accept 2-4-1, so it is great value. At weekends, best to start very early or at lunch-time. My favourite hole is the 2nd, par 4. Not busy at all during weekdays.

During winter, it is indeed quite muddy and the greens are poorly maintained. So you have 2b pretty motivated to get through.

Have a good round.

The overall condition of course was very good only let down by the poor tee`s.£14 was good value,play was a bit slow due to pensioner`s on a day out taking forever and they forgot to let quicker players through.Not a long course but still proves a challenge for the average golfer.I definately would play again.

A very poorly maintained course. The tees in particular are scabby and poorly marked. It irritates me that a course like this insists on a dress code but neglects the course itself. For a lesson in how to maintain and promote a municipal course they should head up to Peterborough to see Thorpe Wood or Orton Meadows. These are courses that understand that the municipal course player is less interested in what other players are wearing and more interested in a golf course that has repsect for them as golfers. At Whitewebbs I was asked to wear a shirt with a collar. This is not the 1950s nor is it Augusta National. I could stomach the dress code if the course had received the merest hint of any care and maintenance but, as I said, the tees are scabby, the greens are woolly and the fairways poorly defined. It is symptomatic of what is wrong with a lot of golf courses in England.

Played this course on a Sunday and...oh dear! Slow slow slow but I guess a municipal course is always going to be like that. As with the previous comments a lot of the bunkers are taken out of play by even average golfers like myself. Also some of the back nine holes are crossed by a stream and would, I think, benefit from the tees being moved forward so that at least the question "shall I go for it" is asked rather than always laying up. The greens are, as mentioned, incredibly slow and the general condition not good. At £17 a round I thought it was not great value for money either but beggars can't be choosers! Won't be going back.

Fairly average muni in good nick but very slow greens. I felt like using a wedge on some putts to get it to the hole! Not many notable holes and some wasted bunker placements. Seems set up more to ensure speed of play than as a test of golf. Good value tho at £13.50 weekdays and quiet in the afternoons.
