Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play The Old Nene Golf & Country Club?

We always recommend visiting The Old Nene from late spring through early autumn. You'll find the course in its prime, with the Nene River looking particularly inviting, though perhaps a little too inviting for wayward shots. The weather is generally more forgiving then, making for a truly enjoyable round.

What's the biggest challenge at The Old Nene, and what makes it unique?

The Nene River isn't just a pretty backdrop; it's a constant threat, especially on the back nine where it snakes along several holes. You'll need precision off the tee and smart course management to avoid a watery grave. The mature tree-lined fairways also demand accuracy, making it a proper test of strategic play.

How do the green fees at The Old Nene compare, and is it good value for money?

Green fees here are refreshingly fair for an English course of this caliber, especially when you consider the quality of the greens and the overall upkeep. You're paying for solid, honest golf and a genuinely friendly atmosphere, not just a fancy name. It's definitely a course we feel offers excellent value.

What's the 'Country Club' experience like at The Old Nene beyond the golf itself?

Beyond the fairways, the clubhouse offers a genuinely warm, unpretentious welcome. We always grab a pint and a hearty ploughman's lunch there after a round, soaking in the views over the 18th. It's a place where you feel comfortable lingering, not just rushing off.

Are there any must-play holes or memorable shots at The Old Nene?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 7th; it's shorter but demands a precise carry over a reedy ditch to a well-guarded green. Then there's the dogleg 14th, where a bold drive cutting the corner can set up an eagle chance - or a double bogey if you don't commit. Those are the holes that stick with you.
