Had a booking for this site cancelled "due to operational issues" with only 2 weeks before we are due to visit. Offered another Club site but was more expensive which when asked the club would not discount even though they cancelled me. Very dissapointed with the clubs handling of the situation.

Great site & ideal to stopover for race course or even better night out after races
Human League, fabulous last night A++++
Just remember that they put the sprinklers on before race day so if you park track side you’re going to get wet ☔️🤣☔️🤣☔️

The Balloon festival was great. If you go take chairs and snacks. Food is definitely quantity based not quality based. Great for kids ride costs around £4 per person per ride so can get expensive.

Small site managed by the club inside Uttoxeter racecourse. Not the usual high standard shower block, this one although clean is very dated. However it's close to town and great on a race day

A welcoming venue with arguably the best bacon cobs we've experienced, although in all honesty there wasn't much argument, we all agreed that they were!

I was curious to play the course that was situated alongside a racecourse!

The course wasn't long I think from memory the yardage was something like 5,800 yards off the yellow tees so I was prepared to be disappointed. In fairness and very quickly we all found the enjoyment of the course was in placing the shot correctly and avoiding the trees situated well to add to the challenge, for the approach shot to the greens. The course was tight and some tee shots were blind shots which for first time visitors was quite fun.

The greens for the time of year were pretty good especially considering the amount of rain we've had recently so definitely no complaints there and clearly good work done by the green keepers.

Unfortunately the fareways at our visit hadn't been cut down this was explained to us as we arrived to book in and was due to the recent weather.

The course was undulating, hilly in places and as I said earlier we were preparing for disappointment with the shorter yardage, in fact the course was very well set up and after a while it didn't feel as though it played as short as the yardage suggested.

We played on a pretty windy day but we found you definitely had to give it 100% to get into position.

The Clubhouse and pro shop were small and very friendly all the members (although most of us were visiting that day) were nice and chatty. The food looked great but I highly recommend the bacon cob on arrival 😉

An interesting venue as an alternative to your home course. It's hilly in places, the course isn't long but certainly held our interest. I'm sure when the fareways are cut and cleared of leaves and on a raceday it's an enjoyable visit.

Great job on the Clubhouse atmosphere and thanks for the warm welcome Uttoxeter Golf Club 👍

Stayed for two nights on our way up to York, easy to find, right inside the Racecourse, 10min walk to the town and retail park. Facilities are OK, all pitches have hook up.
