Down Royal Park Golf Course

Overall course is in a as poor state. Most Fairways in need of a trim and of those that had been cut the grass cuttings were left in small heaps on the fairways. Several tee boxes were also in poor condition. Uneven and overgrown. By and large the greens were fair, bar the ninth which was covered in what appeared to be soil. I have played this course many times and both my playing partner and myself agreed that todays course conditions were far below what we normally enjoy whilst playing this trek.

As a high handicapper I really struggled on this course. Lots of holes where if you go right the ball is gone. Long grass lines nearly every hole and if you go off the back of the green you likely aren't getting your ball back.

If you hit straight and like a challenge I would absolutely recommend this course, amd I thinks it's great value for money. I'll play again after my game improves.

The course generally is in fair/poor condition and it’s crying out for a lot of money to be spent on it. This is not something new as it’s been in this condition for decades. Several water/pond features generally overgrown and very rough around the edges. The rough is very rough and greens, fairways and tee boxes just average. I know it’s been a wet winter/spring but it doesn’t excuse the neglect of the course.

I've left reviews before for this course. They generally pass comment on how hairy the fairways and greens are. Yesterday, the greenkeeping staff were actually doing a bit of work for a change....greens were being mowed, which is good. What was bad was that the greenkeeping staff kept cutting in front of players as they as approached the greens...holding up play. I realise the greens have to be mowed but surely paying and playing customers come first? In my experience greenkeeping staff do their job between players shots I wouldn't have minded so much but it happened on at least 7 holes.... deliberate, I wonder? Made for a very slow round

Great course and great value, can’t fault it kept well. Staff very friendly and helpful. Came last week for the valley course and returned to try the park course and wasnt disappointed.

Cold frosty morning hard to see your ball because of the low sun. But a very enjoyable course and day out.

Brilliant course not many winter mat tees only maybe 6. No winter greens would highly recommend

Can't expect much from a cheap course, but for £25 it wasn't good value. £15 a round would make more sense. Fairways are poorly kept and the greens are crazily slow. Beautiful setting and with better maintenance would be a real gem. We were also stuck behind a competition which is normally fine, but they weren't abiding by their own slow play rules. 7-8 minutes looking for a ball is a bit much.

I have read a lot of negative reviews of this course so felt I would add my own. I have played this course many many times.

The bad reviews are all about the condition of the course. The points mentioned are relevant but a little harsh. You have to remember what you are paying to play. If you double the price then the value is poor, but on average you pay between £10-13 a round. This has to be considered.

The course simply needs cut. The fairways are a little long, but nothing silly. Again, same with the greens. They are slow as a result. Once you accept this then your expectations should get in line with what you pay to play it.

A huge positive of this course is how dry it is when other much more expensive courses are soaked, or even closed. The holes are nice and varied and the it is a fair test of your skills. It's fairly open and the greens do not have a lot of break - so it is a great course to build your confidence for a round or 2. It annoys the heck out of me when people pay a tenner to play and expect the quality of a course 3 times as much.

The course is great apart from the up keep the fairways they are very rough and in bad condition the whole course could need a bit of attention

Booked a tee- time for 4 o’clock but arrived early and the guy in the pro shop let us tee off at 3 o’clock. Mighty decent. Really enjoyed my day at Down Royal. The course was really nice to play but the greens were a bit slow. Over all, not a bad day out.

Played here a few times and always found it to be in decent nick. Never seems to be too waterlogged considering it hasn't stopped raining this summer! Have paid more and had less enjoyable rounds. Quite an open course but fairly long with some challenging holes.

We found the course dry after all the rain,fairways were well defined and the greens lush and true if a little slower then what we were used to .We had a nice meal and a drink on finishing and that concluded a good day out.

it overall is good value for money with nice attentive staff and I could recommend it.

Play this course often and normally good in wet as it drains normally well. Not today, green were in bad state, fairways hadn't been mowed in a while some of tee boxes over grown.
