Clowance Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Clowance Golf Course suitable for beginners, or is it more challenging?

Clowance is genuinely welcoming for all skill levels, which we appreciate. You'll find it's a fantastic place to hone your short game without feeling intimidated, though the undulating greens will still test your putting touch. It's perfect for a relaxed round with friends or introducing someone new to the game.

When is the best time of year to play at Clowance for optimal conditions?

We always recommend visiting Clowance from late spring through early autumn - think May to September. The course drains well, but you'll experience the lushest fairways and most predictable weather during these months, making for a truly enjoyable round. Avoid the depths of winter unless you don't mind a bit of mud.

What's the most memorable hole or unique feature at Clowance Golf Course?

For us, the par-3 7th hole really stands out; it's a picturesque challenge where accuracy is key to avoid the surrounding mature trees. You'll need to commit to your club selection here, as a wayward shot can quickly lead to a lost ball. It's a true test of nerve and precision.

What should I expect regarding green fees and booking a tee time at Clowance?

Green fees at Clowance are quite reasonable, offering excellent value for a well-maintained course - expect to pay around £20-£30 for a round. We highly recommend booking your tee time online a few days in advance, especially if you're planning a weekend visit, as it can get busy. Walk-ins are possible but not guaranteed.

Are there practice facilities or other amenities available at Clowance Golf Course?

Absolutely, Clowance offers a decent putting green right by the clubhouse, perfect for getting a feel for those tricky undulations before your round. While there isn't a full driving range, you'll find a small chipping area to sharpen your short game, plus a welcoming clubhouse for a post-round drink.
