Falconwood Course
Frequently Asked Questions
When's the ideal time to visit Falconwood for the best playing conditions?
We always recommend late spring or early autumn for Falconwood. You'll usually find the course in prime condition, the greens running true, and you avoid the peak summer crowds and the unpredictable downpours that can hit England in other seasons.
What kind of golf experience should I expect at Falconwood - is it a links challenge or more of a parkland stroll?
Falconwood offers a fantastic blend, leaning towards a mature parkland feel but with some exposed, links-style stretches that really test your shot-making. Expect undulating fairways and strategically placed bunkers that demand precision, especially on the back nine.
Considering the green fees, does Falconwood offer good value for a day out?
Absolutely, Falconwood delivers excellent value for its quality. Green fees typically range from £40-£60 depending on the day, and you're getting a meticulously maintained course with memorable holes and a friendly atmosphere that feels far more premium.
Is there a specific hole at Falconwood that I should really look forward to playing?
You absolutely have to look forward to the par-3 14th - 'The Quarry.' It's a stunning downhill shot over a natural gully to a well-guarded green, demanding a precise iron and offering some of the best views on the course. It's a true test and a real beauty.
After finishing my round at Falconwood, where's the best place to grab a proper English meal or a pint nearby?
Head straight to The Old Oak Inn, just a five-minute drive from the course. It's a classic English pub with a roaring fire in winter, serving up hearty, delicious food and a great selection of local ales - perfect for dissecting your round.
