Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real challenge at Erlestoke Golf Course - is it suitable for all handicaps?

Erlestoke offers a surprisingly engaging round, especially with its undulating fairways and some cleverly placed bunkers that demand your attention. While it's certainly playable for higher handicappers, don't underestimate the tricky greens; they can add a few strokes if you're not precise with your approach shots.

When is the best time of year to play Erlestoke for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We highly recommend visiting Erlestoke in late spring or early autumn - think May-June or September-October. You'll find the course in fantastic condition, the weather is usually pleasant, and you'll avoid the peak summer rush, ensuring a more relaxed pace of play.

How does the green fee at Erlestoke compare to other courses in Wiltshire, and what's included?

Erlestoke offers excellent value for money, often coming in more affordably than some of its flashier Wiltshire neighbours, without sacrificing course quality. Your green fee gets you access to a well-maintained, friendly course, and we always appreciate the welcoming atmosphere you find here.

Are there any signature holes or unique features at Erlestoke that I should look out for?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 7th hole; it's a real beauty with a challenging carry over a dip to a well-guarded green. The views from some of the higher points on the back nine, looking out over the Wiltshire countryside, are also a definite highlight you won't want to miss.

What's the clubhouse experience like at Erlestoke, and is it worth staying for a drink or a bite?

The clubhouse at Erlestoke is exactly what you hope for from a local English course - warm, unpretentious, and genuinely friendly. We always make time for a post-round pint and a bite; their simple, hearty fare is perfect after a walk around the course, and you'll often find yourself chatting with the welcoming locals.
