A very basic par 3 course <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Round \u00a310.   Par 27.  Value (out of 5) \u2013 1.5<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maverston is owned and operated by the ANM Group<\/a>, a member owned co-operative company with interests in mainly farming related businesses.  It seems clear that the business goal of the Maverston estate was to build a golf course attractive enough to enable the sale of the co-located residential housing plots surrounding the course.  The main 18 hole course itself opened in 2014, and several \u201cexecutive\u201d houses are now completed and occupied. I played and blogged about the main 18 hole course in 2016 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 9 hole par 3 course is no more than a basic layout, which was in poor condition, especially the greens, when I played along with Fran. It would be a good course to learn the game on, and given that the club encourages under 16 membership for free with an adult member, I can see the value of the overall set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having said that, as a stand alone course, it is not worth the \u00a310 fee, especially given the increasing number of deals around at much better courses at a similar price. The main course here on the other hand is worth playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/strong>On the day, I lost a match play game with Fran winning 4 & 3, after which I parred the next 2 holes (7th and 8th) – isn’t it infuriating when that happens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone thinking of playing their first round of golf, this would be a good place – otherwise give it a miss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
