I'm playing tommorow at the players club (unsure which of the two courses yet) and wondered if anyone else has played there, and what they thought of it?
Anyone played at The Players Club near Bristol?

I have been a member there for about 16 months. The Codrington is a good challenge with water featuring on a number of holes. It's fairly long, but not overly long IMO. I played yesterday & the greens are running true, but they are not as quick as they can be. I think there is a good mix of holes.
The Stranahan is a fairly new addition & is much shorter & easier. It's not a bad little course, but nowhere near as good as The Codrington.
Some people feel it's a bit too corporate, but I haven't found that. There are good practice facilties & you also have the 9 hole water garden par 3 course.
I hope you have a great day!

I'm hoping to play the codrington and am glad to hear that the greens are'nt running 'too' fast! But the stranahan still looks a good little links-style course, and its costing me nothing so i can't complain either way!

The par 3 water course is a must play when you're there. Fantastic little addition to be able to offer.
As for the course, it's a decent enough place on the whole. The front nine less memorable than the back, 6-9 are pretty dull. A stretch of decent holes on the back then finish with 2 forgettable holes to close.

I sort of agree with you Robobum, but I actually think 6 & 8 are good holes. I also like 18. Agree with you about 7,9 & 17 although I think they are good birdie opportunities that give you a bit of a break from the more challenging holes.

Played there on Friday 1.6 - Codrington course in good condition. I thought it was a good challenge and really enjoyed the layout. Golf purists may say it is a little "manufactured" but I wouldnt! Thought it was excellent. May be a little wetter after this weekend. If I had a criticism it would be that some of the bunkers were a little scruffy around the edges but I think they had been deliberately left to grow!
