First visit and after record breaking wet weather. Course was still very playable and some wonderful views within a varied selection of 9 holes. Few dog legs and elevation changes makes the layout a good test. Course Manager very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful course. Played 9 today. Staff were very friendly. Tee boxes - fairways & greens all in extremely good condition. Just over £20 for 9 holes.

I had a golf training session with a charity. Great few hours. Beautiful golf course and location enjoyed a drink and drinks on the clubhouse patio. Friendly people all around. I will definitely go next week.

Have played there twice; Kirby Muxloe Golf Club is a fantastic choice for golfers who appreciate a well-designed parkland course. The layout is thoughtfully planned, with a mix of challenging and rewarding holes that make each round interesting and engaging. The fairways and greens are typically in excellent condition, showing the care and effort put in by the maintenance team, and the scenery around the course really adds to the experience. The clubhouse is inviting and well-run, with friendly staff and a solid selection of food and drink. It’s a great spot to unwind after a game, and there’s a welcoming, community feel to the place that makes both members and guests feel right at home. However, a big drawback is how muggy and waterlogged the course gets after rain. Even with a bit of rainfall, you can expect some areas to be quite boggy, and it doesn’t drain as well as it could. In certain spots, you’ll find the ground quite soft, which can affect the quality of play and make getting around a bit of a slog. If you’re playing after any significant rain, be prepared for some muddy patches and slower conditions. Overall, Kirby Muxloe Golf Club is a lovely place to play, but just be mindful that after rain, the course can feel very boggy. Despite this, it’s still worth visiting for the quality of the layout, well-maintained greens, and friendly clubhouse atmosphere.

Course was in great condition. Greens very quick. Food was lovely, nothing to moan about. Green-Keepers have done a great job - very tidy.

I played in the Ladies Spring Open and never played here before. Great course and tricky greens. Very friendly and helpful members.

A gourmet feast to tantalise the taste buds which doesnt break the bank. Attended the Gourmet Night with Paul and Ali Leary and it exceeded expectations, overall nobody in my party had a bad word to say. The food was brilliant and well presented, all five courses really hit the spot but for me the two stand out dishes were the starter of duck and the main of beef. Will definitely be looking to attend another of these events in the future.

Lovely course. Variety of holes with up and down, left and right turns. Not too many bunkers which I liked Mostly a even course (left-right) although a couple of holes with some lean on them Well maintained course, especially given the current wet conditions. Great views and wonderful lighting across the course, nice trail through trees too

Lingdale Golf Club, nestled in the picturesque Charnwood Forest, offers a memorable golfing experience. The course's design is both challenging and engaging, with the front nine featuring undulating terrain and tree-lined fairways that require strategic play. The back nine presents elevation changes and well-placed hazards, keeping golfers on their toes throughout the round. While the club's secluded location provides a tranquil setting, it does come with the drawback of limited mobile phone reception. This can be a minor inconvenience for those needing to stay connected. On the plus side, the clubhouse serves excellent food, making it a great spot to relax after a round. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. Overall, Lingdale Golf Club is a delightful course that offers a unique and enjoyable round of golf. Its thoughtful design and quality amenities make it well worth a visit.

The golf course was in great condition, greens very fast and true. Hidden ditches rather tricky! Ladies locker room pleasant. Food good. Lovely countryside views.

Went to Market Harborough GC for first time this week, very cold, sunny - great winter conditions. Course in pretty good condition, only one temporary green, great views, nice layout, particularly back 9. Will be back.

The course was lovely a good challenge. Not one boring hole on the course great views.

Played August 2023, tree lined course that is fairly hilly. Generous fairways and greens small and sloped. Very nice course and well worth a visit.

Rating: 5 / 5

Well maintained and well looked after golf course. The holes are not too hard nice open approaches on the fairway. A few long holes to test you and the par 3's are a challenge as they are very short and they make you think twice about club selection. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food and beer is great too.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great pitch and putt. Longest hole 188 yds. Cheaper than the driving range to practice your game. Grass on fairways can be a little long at times, but it's looking great at the moment.

Great experience! First time playing at this course and popped in for a quick 9 holes and would have been fine figuring it out but I didn’t have too! Had a lovely chat with the attendant there who’s a lovely chatty bloke who walked me through where each hole was which was much appreciated! The people there let me play through where needed which was nice. Unfortunately the 6th hole was closed but I wasn’t bothered about that though I’m confused on why they charged for 9 holes when I only got to play 8 but that’s not too much of an issue, the grass was well kept, greens were a bit dry and bouncy but I was warned of that ahead of time by the attendant. Overall it was a lovely day and course to practice my short game as the holes ranged from about 60 - 173 yards. Made to feel very welcome and it was a pleasant experience. Well done! Would give 4.5 if I could but the lack of the 6th hole knocks it down a little Lovely little course with great community playing on it. Will definitely be coming back!

Went for daughters wedding meal. The setting was stunning. Staff were excellent and meal was superb. Managers advice for the occasion was first rate. Beautiful location.

Rating: 5 / 5

The golf course was in fabulous condition and well worth the £55 visitor fee on a Friday afternoon. Staff in the pro shop were friendly and welcoming. The course really is a bit of a hidden gem.

Played in the Invitation today with a member. The course was in absolutely fabulous condition. Stayed for food and drinks after. Great value and price point.

Had our wedding reception here last summer. Paul was extremely helpful with planning the day, always friendly and offering good advice. Matt the chef provided a fantastic menu for 80 people including vegan and gluten free. It's a great location with everything you could need. We could not have had a better day which was thanks to the amazing staff and lovely venue.

First visit in a seniors open, really enjoyed the day, made welcome from the start, bacon cob and a coffee, good quality and great service. Didn't play particularly well, but I enjoyed the course. The bunkers weren't great, but they are in the process of having new sand. Course in excellent condition and the greens great, lovely 18th par 3 to finish.....I did par it!! I would have no hesitation in going back.

Very good greens and tees, fairways are excellent too.

We all had a fabulous heart warming time at the generously large function room to celebrate a 40th Wedding Anniversary. The establishment is in great condition with friendly professional staff, fast bar service and polite waiting staff. The mains and desserts came out promptly and tasted fantastic (so hats off to the chef and team). The food was well presented and looked very appetising. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place for any similar functions such as birthday parties 🎉.

Good course and plays well all year round. Can be a bit windy at times, making the par 3’s particularly challenging, but that’s part of golf. Well maintained greens but some of the bunkers could do with some TLC. Friendly staff and some nice food options both pre round breakfast and post round meals. Chilli was fantastic and my buddy had a boss looking gammon, egg and chips.

Greens currently are superb, lot of hard work gone in by the team. New clubhouse great too, bar and catering staff are a credit to the club.

Probably the best option for Outdoor Coffee at Sunset in Leicester with certainly one of the best views. Indoors is a bit old fashioned in a 'Golf Club type way' but friendly staff, fresh and clean. As a place to sit and watch the sun go down with a nice drink you can't go wrong.

Rating: 5 / 5

Good test of your golf. Some long holes and a few doglegs. Trees down all fairways and quite fast greens. Small putting area but has two nets. The car park was small and almost ended up parking on the road. Food was good.

We had a Sunday lunch birthday party there yesterday and I want to congratulate everyone involved for an amazing event. The room was decorated beautifully and the food was absolutely fantastic, the best meal I have ever had! I wish we lived closer as we would be regular visitors.
