Enville Golf Club or Tadmarton Golf Club?

[Kennysarmy]

Two courses on my radar for a possible round this Friday:

or
https://www.tadmartongolf.com

Has anyone played either recently and can give a review and report?

Enville is always in pretty good nick but they do their green renovations work at this time of year so would be best to check which course . Both are good ?

Enville has two good courses, both part heathland, part wooded

Played Tadmarton a couple of years ago when they were redoing some of the bunkers, another good course. Heathland and more open, being on top of high ground it can be windy, which I like.

You won't be disappointed whichever you choose.

Response from Enville to my email enquiry:

No maintenance planned for this week. We do not book tee times or reserve the tee for groups of 12 or less. Last maintenance was on our Highgate course 3rd and 4th February and Lodge course 20th and 21st January.

Please check in with our Pro Shop and we look forward to welcoming you to Enville Golf Club.

Kind regards,


I know it's silly, but going to play a course where I have n't got a tee time does put me off - why do courses not operate tee times? Is this a sign that the course just does n't get busy?

Enville Highgate is the better of the courses and that’s the one I would play - Tadmarten is a nice course though

As for tee times - no it’s not sign that it’s not busy , it’s a sign that the members like the freedom of just being able to go to the course when they wish to be able to play

If the tee was overly busy I'm sure the club would introduce a booking system.

I am a member of a course that never has tee times........

Ring the pro, they will know when to play and when to avoid... usually they'll say stuff like "the seniors go out at 9.00.... by 10 the place is empty!

Used to play "Taddy" regularly...but not recently, always liked it!!

There are threads that crop up on this subject every so often and the camp is definintely split into 2, those who would only play at a course with a booking system and those who think booking systems are the work of the devil. I'm with you and don't understand why they don't and personally I would not go to an away course where I could not book. You would need to read the past threads to get an inkling of the mindset, I can't get my head around it.

Enjoy whichever course you end up on.

Played Enville last year in the Staysure Pro Am event - very nice course indeed.

Would like to go back and play it at least half-decently next time !!
