Surprisingly challenging golf course!

This golf course I thought would be a straight forward simple course. It's far from it! It has some wonderful holes (particularly the 1st and 3rd) which require you to keep your nerve. This course is unreal in the summer. Tree lined, lovely fairways and the greens are brilliant. Can get a little rough in the winter but that's just its location.

I would say this course is great value for money.

Very pretty course - Amazing value for money

I had a wonderful time at Chesham & Ley Hill GC. Considering the awful recent weather the course conditions were remarkable. Fairways and tee boxes remarkable and only one (very playable) winter green. The permanent greens all played true.

A couple of great holes - especially par 3 3rd. The course is very picturesque, but the hilly nature was a good for fitness.

Wonderful friendly staff and good, welcoming clubhouse atmosphere afterwards.

Very disappointing - save your money

I paid £22 for a round here which was a complete rip off. The tee boxes, fairways and greens (see attached) are all in dreadful condition even for winter golf. I’d highly recommend saving your money or playing elsewhere. There’s plenty of other clubs in the same price point which are far better around that area. One positive was the staff and members were all friendly and the pace of play was great as there was no one on the course. Was hoping to get a full refund from the pro shop but no one was around so that’s £22 I’ll never see again.

Great course but could be better

So I played the double nine hole course, overall the layout was good though the course was let down by the greens, large patches on quite a few of the greens that were missing grass, though that's the only thing to improve, overall I found it good value for money, some challenging dog leg holes, if recommend to others to give it a go, and if the greens were repaired if consider joining.

Great course

I enjoyed playing this course and look forward to playing it again, one small criticism, would be the lack of grass and bald patches on the greens, though it didn't really hinder my play, overall a good quick paced course with some challenging holes.

Found by accident, will return regularly

The 9 hole course is just right in it's set up and difficulty but it was the staff that shone for me. All were helpful, nothing was too much trouble and I would go back there when the opportunity arises

Tight and attractive

A lovely setting, with some tight fairways. The greens are generally small so accuracy is at a premium. The greens were undergoing routine maintenance when we played.

A real test

A gem of a course, always playable and well cared for, greens small and true.

Although short you need to be on your game to play to your handicap here.

Like the 3rd but also 5th and 8th.

Good course - drains too well

Had an enjoyable round. First one out so no pace issues. Great course for practising irons and short game. Only issue is that the course drains so well it plays very solid, ball can run out an extra 15-20 yards if hitting fairway to what you'd usually expect but all in all, would return.

Great golf for all.

I played many a top golf course and many 9 hole golf courses,so,as this was a first time playing the course i was really suprised to find not only a wonderful setting,each hole is well laid out,nice low cut rough,greens well watered,lots of high trees,makes playing a little harder,something to challenge you.I would definitely be coming back to play and would recommend to all ages.only two gripes,flags should have numbers on them.

Clearer signs saying "To tee number ? Not next Tee.Theres no sign from the country road, your sat nav,will take you,but your think,youve gone wrong?other than that,"fatastic".
