Toot Hill Golf Club – Our verdict
    • “Toot Hill is bit of hidden gem in terms of the course and the value for money (starting price of £27 per person for societies). It’s an interesting and fun layout, with a couple of very picturesque par 3s on the back 9, surrounded by water. Good quality fairways and greens throughout the course. Unfortunately, there is no getting away from the fact that the lack of a clubhouse at this moment in time is a big loss and may put some people off”.
