Banstead Downs Golf Club

This course is nicely designed, with every hole separate. We played it last year in heat and the fairways then were very patchy and undulating and the ball bounced all over the place.

Having had more rainfall this year the fairways were now in good condition and the greens too were excellent. Warning re the latter though is that, despite them being in excellent condition they are challenging to putt on owing to slopes and gradients that I personally found hard to conquer. An enjoyable course though and one we will play again.

The course has some nice putting, chipping and nets to practice before your round so a really good setup to just make sure your are warm before going out. The course is in great condition and and the greens were really true. The course has some forgiveness to a wayward shot although you might need to take your medicine and play out but not a ball looser like some courses. The pace of play was good and the course was interesting and offers a good challenge. Will definitely be playing here again.

The COurse was lovely. really enjoyed. Greenside bunkers missing a bit of sand but greens were perfect. Friendly clubhouse staff too.

I'm a 11 handicap, in middleage, course off yellows 6000 yards, but played more like 5800, good test as was breezy. Greens are fantastic. I'm too old to create high spin but the lads I played could and went pin hunting. Fairway bunkers definitely can catch you out.

Will be going back

Top quality inland “links” that is on chalk & ALWAYS playable. It’s a proper mind-melt as u NEVER get a driving range lay. Plus the greens are tricky to read. I LOVE IT! Go enjoy it, it’s infinitely playable…

Cold, wet and windy but the course held up well under the strain!

Well maintained course but nothing particular other than that.

Wide fairways long holes make it a good practice course for beginners but nothing more for better than intermediate players.

Also tee box placements were all over the place (still confused what dark green is supposed to mean vs yellow vs white). More oddly the course is In between large highways which you will need to cross twice and avoid getting hit by a car running 40 mph.

Played here on a bright afternoon in winter. Greens, fairways and tee boxes all in great condition. Played on my own off the yellows and found it challenging but fair as conditions were v good. Didn’t use the facilities apart from the putting Green, so can’t comment on the bar etc.. A fair few dog walkers and joggers, but they didn’t really impede in what was a great round of golf on a v nice course.
