What the club says: A par 71 (SS70) and par 72 (SS72) for ladies, High Elms Golf Course, features many tree-lined fairways and strategically placed greenside bunkers which call for accurate driving and well placed iron shots. With its large variety of mature trees and excellent layout, High Elms is a public course of outstanding character and quality.
Apart from the normal mental challenges of golf, High Elms Golf Course gives you plenty of other things to think of, uphill and downhill lies, sidehill lies, doglegs and the 13th, unlucky for many regular players. It may only be a 224 yard par 3 from the white tees, but out of bounds left and right, uphill and over 3 bunkers to the green, means that although it is stroke index 2 on the mens card, many believe it to be the hardest hole on the course. Do not be put off though, play it as a par 4 and walk away happy.

tough winter course
Gir's are hard to come by with soft fairways and muddy conditions.Greens are also quite slow. Bunkers are in good condition.
Still a challenging but interesting course.

Nice course in great condition
I haven't played here for a few years and it was great to be back, the course was in a great condition, especially the greens ... good price for midweek and not many golfers around, but a few dog walkers and both my partner and I had balls taken by two dogs so beware!! Nice simple clubhouse and friendly staff.Reviewer Rating

Spring improvement
High Elms is developing into a well maintained course. The work over the winter on the greens and fairways has shown many benefits. The addition of sand in the bunkers and extra maintenance from the Marshall/greenkeepers has shown a much improved condition.The greens are coming along very nicely and now are cut to a lower height providing a smoother and faster green.

Have to carry
High Elms. Doesn't drain very well. Course bans trollies and buggies for approx. 10 weeks through waterlogged ground. Per year. So unless you haven't got a medical condition and are fit to carry I would advise not to pay for years membership. Unless you play 3 or 4 times a week.Reviewer Rating

I was a me ber for 12 years till they started to ban personal buggies, and trollies in wet conditions. High Elms ddajns terribly and has mud or temp. greens a lot over approx. 5montgs jn winter autumn. I wouldn't recommend anyone to join the club unless they can carry a bag all the time. Not much grass on fairways. Certainly wouldn't pay £38 at weekend to play it.
