Golf At Old Thorns Manor

[Dellboy]

Hi,
A group of us are thinking about booking a 3 day break here, but seeing as we have a couple of 28h/c (at best) we were thinking if this course will be too hard for them.

I have seen a few online reviews saying its very tight off the tee's so before we book, does anyone here play there and if so would a 28 get round ok?

Cheers

It was a while ago, but it didn't seem overly tight off the tee to me.

But I think I was at a pretty tight course or had just come back from links golf, so 'tight' is pretty relative.

28+ are likely to struggle anywhere, so shouldn't really come into the equation for most courses imo. Tough to word that without seeming a bit snobby - it's not intended to be.

I don't remember it being particularly tight and we have some guys in our society who struggle to play to 48 let alone 28!

Pretty sure it wasn't too tight when I played it. Mind you it was a good while back

Cheers for the reply's sounds like it will be fine then. I must add, one of our 28'ers is one of the straightest hitters I know, only goes 120yrs but he is aways on the short stuff, the others are a little waywoad so thats why i was asking, its got to be fun for all.

Cheers

It's a good course

I played there a couple of months ago on a cold day

Facilities are also great

Not the hardest but tricky in places

Good facilities, and the course is not that tight. I would normally recommend playing Liphook and Blackmoor if you are in the area, but they are much tighter, lots of heather, and perhaps not for a wayward 28 handicapper.

Havent played Old Thorns for nearly 20 years

But from what i can remember of it - would agree with Rich - Blackmoor would be a better round in my humble opinion
