Bletchingley Golf Club

This course used to be amazing, but I played yesterday and it has majorly gone down hill. The tee boxes were abysmal, the bunkers has next to no sand in them and the greens were patchy, slow and inconsistent.

The course has a great lay out but it has really deteriorated since I played it last time.

2.15 tee on Wedñesday. Not busy, fairways good and greens true. Not sure slope rating of 129 does the difficulty justice.

Bletchingley is a fantastic golf course with a rest variety of holes. The course was in fantastic condition and is very picturesque. There is some walking between holes but that isn’t a problem, play was a little slow but mostly due to the course being busy and the group in front of us were slow. The clubhouse offers good variety in beers and other beverages and sitting outside by the 18th is a great way to end the day!

Overall I really recommend Bletchingley and will definitely be back to play the course again soon!

Friday afternoon 3ball with mixed level of handicap. Course conditions were excellent. Very well kept considering the weather. Great Value for money. £18 each on a Friday afternoon. Pace of play was good and only slowed the last 2 but not an issue. Will be returning soon

Rung Pro shop to ask if there was any winter tees or temp greens, reply I got was no and trolleys are allowed and buggies only on the paths,

On playing the course I was playing of some winter tees, the course is very soft so was muddy in places and the paths were even worse, bunkers need sorting out on the majority of the holes, greens were in good shape,

There is one serious flaw in this course and that is the pace of play, caught up with a four ball who said " can't go through as there is four other four balls in front" at no point from the 7th hole onwards did they make any attempt to let me pass, old man swindle hence why you aren't going through

For £30 is was not that bad but it could be a lot better if the course issues was sorted and the members spoken too,

I understand this is a pay and play course although 5 hours for a 2 ball is way too long - pace of others needs to be addressed. Good standard overall although like many courses, needs the dryness to make the grass longer to cut finer. Greens were very bobbly.

Nice interesting course but could do with some serious maintenance.

Charging £45 to play mostly in a bog is ridiculous. Especially when they brag about how good the drainage is!

Considering the ridiculous amount of rain we have had recently, and what appeared to be some bad reviews of the course online, I was a little apprehensive to play the course. However this was instantly changed when the bloke at the desk greeted me and we ended up chatting for a good 15 minutes. He informed us that a number of the tees would w off mats and was understandable given how much rain we had had and we’re due to have during the day. Once we were out on the course it was amazing to see just how many tee boxes were not off mats. It was only the par 3’s that were which to be honest I completely understand. We recently played Celtic Manor (Montgomery and 2010 courses) and I would say that this course is in much better condition that those two. Fairways were in very good knock and the greens even more so. Will definitely be going back again!

Challenging course and very good layout! Makes you think before just hitting a shot.

Course is in good condition considering the amount of rain we had

Would recommend this to anybody looking for a challenge

This is a nice and quite challenging course with some narrow fairways when driving. After the icy weather we have had it was a bit muddy in places and so would be best played outside of winter conditions. the staff there were very friendly and we will be back in fairer climes.

Course in poor condition, temporary green on 2nd hole ( due to vandalism I was informed ) - with no information as to distance etc ( and can't be seen properly with view finder ) . Pathways to some holes strewn with mud and debris making them hazardous to navigate. 18 temporary tees - often in the most obstructed location making a good tee shot very difficult or impossible ( who would place them in such a position knowing they will be compulsory in winter conditions ? ) . Pro shop unattended and closed - when I tried to raise concerns after giving up playing due to poor / hazardous condition of course. Bletchingly GC claim the course is well draining ,numerous fairways were so waterlogged balls plugged entirely. Expensive too wanted £35+ to play . Tried to raise concerns with Steve ( club pro ) who happened to be in the bar - which was open but with no bar server personel - Steve , disappointingly, didn't seem concerned . Will avoid in future and advise phoning pro shop to get update on conditions if you contemplating a round there , maybe the summer months are better - but reading the other reviews here the summer is beset by a catalogue of other issues . Was once a nice GC I heard . . . . .

Every tee was temporary

Greens poor

Actual cups proud of the greens in places

In extremely wet and windy conditions we found the course excellent for a sociable round of golf.

We may have got absolutely soaked and at times found our lies in extremely boggy areas of the course, despite being the "best drained course around the area. It was our decision to book and play on 31st December, however, with sensible attitudes we moved balls to drier areas before we hit them (as wanted to protect the course a bit).

Greens played superb with subtle difficult, nuances, winter tees anyway which we were warned of before we booked. Fairways as good as they could possible be in the circumstances.

Nothing the club can do about the weather conditions and enjoyed it enough to come again, probably in the summer though.

For under £30 it was was a good value round. Note that all tee’s were from winter mats (good quality though), and there was one temporary green in play when I went.

Played on my own in about 2.45hrs, and only overtook one group as the course was empty (probably due to it being xmas eve). Winter rules were in play which was necessary due to quite patches of grass.

If you haven’t played here, probably worth a visit.
