Bondhay Golf Club - Championship Course

2nd time played as a visitor.

course really wet and muddy.

Greens no doubt good in summer but slow, bumpy and wet today

no notification that a few holes were on temp greens, (understandably)

Lovely bacon roll and coffee before the round

wife could not get access to lockers...no ladies around who knew the code:-)...not serious

Pleasant afternoon away from home course, Norwood

played in 40 mile an hour winds which added to the challenge my handicap is 0 and my playing partner 21

we both played the round of our lives in such difficult conditions only helped by how good the fairways and greens where for this time of year I shot 75 and playing partner 95 cant wait to go back and play it again

I played Bondhay for the first time. The course itself is a pleasure to play, and is one of the best-kept I have played, although a very challenging course. The main reason for this, is that the fairways are fairly tight and the majority of the tee shots need to be sent straight down the middle (which I haven't quite 100% achieved). I am a 'high-handicapper' and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, but I will say that 'if you are easily dis-heartened by a low scoring round, Bondhay may not be your cup of tea'.

I must add that the par 3 course is worth a visit for the practise.

Played on a Saturday pm after heavy morning rain. Course was very busy but I suspect this was due to delayed morning starts. Course was quite tight off the tees - used rescue club off 8 par 4 tees. Green ok but little slow and some odd contours / hills in them. Course was generally Ok but some of the areas around tees starting to look scruffy and could do with attention. Club house friendly but a little dated.

Fairways and tees very lush. Greens good not too fast. Course layout makes you think about the best shot to get you round.

I have played courses far more expensive than this which have not been as good a condition.
