Good golf course nearby

Play Banstead down the first time, green are well maintained, fairways is brown and hard because of the dry weather. I look forward to play again when the weather gets better.

Must play course.

Good course.

Tricky holes where you need to think what club needs using, not just a bombing driver down the middle course.

The only negative was the bare fairways but it's understandable due the very hot summer we've had.

Great greens and lots of bunkers.

Not as good as I remembered it

I think a lot of courses have suffered from the wet winter and then incredibly dry March. The fairways were patchy and the greens had recently been hollow tined. That being said, the course has a good layout with well placed bunkers that were well maintained and at over 6000 yards is a challenge for the shorter hitters. I will come back and play it again, but maybe when it’s had a chance to recover.

Really enjoyed the course considering the weather we have had I could not find any fault. Greens were very difficult to read. I repaired more than just my pitch marks and I still fail to understand if you like playing the game respect the course.

Coped very well with the rain

It had been pouring down for about 4 hours and had only stopped when we arrived at the course. Inspite of this, the conditions were perfectly playable apart from water in the bunkers. Fairways were in good condition and the course is sufficiently challenging without it feeling like a slog.

Considering the amount of rain we have had recently the course held up very well. The greens were in great condition and the course a great challenge. Looking forward to play there again.
