We actually went into the Hall for evening drinks and a Sunday lunch the next day. The lunch was really tasty and good value for money.The staff are very pleasant and friendly.Highly recommended and we stayed in the CAMpRA area in our Motorhome.

My sin booked tee via Golf Now for 9.40 am today August 14th
Nice sunny day arrived 9.30am saw notice on a board in the car park
Greens where being aerated......
What it did not say anywhere that two holes no 3 and 6 were closed and all holes where on temp greens and tees
Bit of a joke given its August
Game spoilt temp greens awful as was the temp alternative holes 3 and 6
When Craig booked no mention of any of this ...not what any golfer expects in summer
Pretty sure most visitors won't return
Big financial loss to the club I expect

Turned up few minutes before our tee time and as me and friends walking up to first tee from the car park..

a woman approaches us saying “where do you think you’re going”

We were confused and say we’re going to play and she goes “I don’t think so have you booked a tee time”

We say yes and tell her the time but she responds “well you’re late, you’re going to have to hurry up we have a competition at 11” (this is 3 minutes before our tee time that we booked)

So me and my friends don’t really say much and I go to tee off.. as I’m lining up she goes “excuse me no that’s wrong you have to hit from the markers” (not exaggerating here it must have been a few cm’s away from the marker.

After her saying this one of us say “there’s no need to go on like this” and she responds “I’m the women’s club captain if you have anything to say”

So we all tee off and begin playing etc and halfway through the course we notice her and her friends have had to let people play through after telling us “you need to hurry up we have a competition”.

This is the first time we’ve had an experience like this and safe to say we WON’T BE RETURNING. There was absolutely no need to talk to us in that aggressive manner she gave us with not even a “Hi” or anything, just “where do you think you’re going”. Not welcoming at all and it really ruins a decent course.

Player a round here in October around 4pm. Lovely little course, well looked after and challenging in places. The bar is welcoming and the outdoor seating lovely. Definitely will be back soon

Always get good efficient service from Vicki when booking. Course is better looked after than some other courses in the area. Not a fan of the undulating fairways but the good service and availability make it very suitable for some who often books at short notice

Bought the 2 week membership and really enjoyed the course. I would have made my membership permanent but a memeber of staff called Trevor ruined my experience here, he approached me on multiple occasions in a aggressive manor, using foul language; I do not expect this while trying to play a round of golf and unfortunately I will not be spending anymore money on this course as long as he is still a memeber of staff.

Purchased a 2 week temporary membership at Backworth, was due to play 18 holes until we approached the 10th hole and the groundsmen Trevor approached in a hostile manner swearing and shouting at us to get off the golf course after we had booked to play 18 holes. The course and everyone else we came across at this course were fantastic but this incident will stop us from renewing a membership we were due to pay.
