I know it gets quite a few mentions on here so thought I would post this....

Not the greatest news.... let’s hope someone rescues it.

Sad news indeed, always enjoyed visiting there

 

[shortgame]

Could never work out how it could pay with no membership and always quiet even on weekend mornings

 

[Bigfoot]

It is a good facility so it would be sad to lose a local course.

Is this where the "me and my golf duo" hang out and do their filming

they didn't but they moved on a while ago

Where did they move to? A lot of their stuff still seems to come from the Astbury

They do both I believe.... The other course I THINK is Perton which is in Wolverhampton. Only as I’ve seen they’ve tagged it as the location on Instagram or twitter....

Adasko from here has lessons with them and pretty sure he said he gets them at Perton

 

[shortgame]

They teach out of Perton

 

[adasko]

Yes they do lessons in Perton and videos in The Astbury.

The metal legend bought Astbury Hall near Bridgnorth in 1985 and has since developed a top-of-the-range 18-hole course within its grounds, with the ambition of hosting the Open Championship.

I want some of what this guy is taking. Its a terrible course apart from the 18th.

That must be why the Wolves golf society is after a new venue for their golf day on the 28th.

I dont see how you can say its terrible at all. the conditioning for such a new course was fantastic when i visited, A number of the holes are great.

Glad somebody agrees 🤔 featureless and boring.

Never been , but the flybys and pics on the website seem to suggest that it needs about 30 years for some of those trees to grow!

 

[shortgame]

Overall it's not terrible nor is it great

Conditioning is always good (super greens/tees/fw's)

Great VENUE (clubhouse/WOW factor)

The welcome is always good

Great 18th hole (good 6th/10th and the par 3' are OK)

I just find the course a bit bland (needs to mature). There's little definition so I struggle to 'see' the tee shots, not that it matters too much as there's no rough


However, I hope they sort something out and KK doesn't lose his dream (although hosting the Open was only ever a pipe dream it could host say a Challenge Tour event)

i thought it was very dull too. especially the front 9. the green where fantastic though

 

[MendieGK]

its about 10 years old... golf courses take years to mature.

Always seemed to be way too cheap for the standard of maintenance etc they were presenting, especially without annual memberships supporting it. Constant deals on as well so never at the advertised rate
