Fun course but tired
Played in a mid week 10am two ball and the course was a good challenge that you will certainly play better the second time you go. The entrance to the course and Manor House is very appealing but when you look a bit deeper, it needs investment to modernise the facilities. Alternatively, it just needs some good tlc. I don’t think management have played the course recently as they will see many things that could be improved with little work or money but they would increase the overall experience for all.
We spoke to some of the senior members who said it’s been quiet recently and that they struggle for new members and it certainly felt like this.
The course had some great holes and at points was in good condition considering the weather recently. However, tee boxes were a mess, signage was not clear enough and a course guide is a must for some of the holes that dog leg.
Shame that the bar was not serving food afterwards at around 2pm.
I’d go back again as only £30 but this course could justify asking for £40-50 a round if they made some key improvements.
Thanks for taking the time to review the course. You've touched upon some great points in your review.
We agree that Gatton on the whole needs investment.
From the 1st of May 2022 Gatton have new managing partners. They, like you can see and have bought in to the potential of Gatton Manor. They are investing substantially in the course, the hotel & clubhouse facilities. These will be in phased in over the next few years and will include various course improvements such as drainage and irrigation throughout the course. New course signage to coincide with our rebrand. Widening and lengthening our tee boxes for improved durability and sustained grass growth as well as looking to invest in a complete new fleet of green keeping equipment. We have also talked about switching the course round which is delaying us getting some course planners. I do appreciate how useful these can be for any course but especially playing Gatton for the first time.
I can only apologies regarding our kitchen being closed on the day you came. The hospitality industry has been hit hard in terms of staff and Gatton has experienced its own fair share of challenges in that department. I can assure you our food is cooked fresh and beautifully served. I would invite you visit us again soon and maybe touch base with us prior to booking to ensure we can provide you some wonderful food options.

So much potential here
I have played Gatton Manor 6 or 7 times over the last few years. I like the lay out but today the greens where terrible. Green keeper needs to get his finger out.
Thank you for taking the time to review Gatton Manor Golf Course.
We wanted to take this opportunity to make you aware of the recent challenges we have faced with our greens and how we are dealing with them going forward and investing in
the whole course in general.
At the back end of July 2021, our greens developed a disease (which is not uncommon) and unfortunately, it was not treated correctly by our then Course Manager. We decided to recruit a complete new greenkeeping team our new Course Manager who started with us in September recognised the disease straight away and has set about controlling it to limit its spread.
We have invested in a whole new fleet of greenkeeping equipment which we expect to take delivery of in June. We appreciate that our golf course has not been presented anywhere to the level of condition and presentation synonymous with Gatton Manor. Our aim moving forward is to take the current layout including the presentation to another level.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Gatton Manor, you will see and enjoy a vast improvement in the quality of the golf course.

Second worst course
There have been many courses I have played but this is one of the worst as the course has been neglected completely for a while now and it shows no grass on the greens very bobbly no point putting tees in poor condition as well yet the fairways looked after as the green keeper kept going up and down the course even when trying to play not stopping sometimes or turning off his engine like I get on other courses will not be going back to this course as none of this was told to us at the beginning then listening in the bar area which is also club house I believe hear they are charging people ten pounds yet we paid double not sure this is right then the chap said it is due to the poor condition of the course so why are they not doing this online

Shocking greens
I've played Gatton Manor many times over the years but on this visit the greens were truly shocking. I appreciate that it was only a week since greens maintenance had been carried out and perhaps they'll recover but ignoring the hollow tineing there was little or no grass. It will be a long time before I return (if ever)

18 holes
Shame the greens and tees had just been hollow tuned and heavily sanded, I picture the course being really good by end May.
Good layout, some tough holes
Gatton Manor
Great course layout let down by really bad greens needs a few quid spent on it

Challenging interesting course
This is a beautiful parkland course, with interesting variety of holes. With a brook running through the course, there are multiple opportunities to avoid lakes, streams and blind rivers on the hardest hole.
The only downside was the greens need a bit of TLC. I'm sure they will be working on these over spring, so we will be going back in the summer.
Staff were very friendly, but if you're having lunch, make sure it is available. We had gourmet sausage rolls and crisps, which was ok.
Gatton Manor GC
The course was very soft in places. The greens held lots of water when it rained and lacked drainage. Lots of surface water lay on fairways. More temporary greens and tee boxes needed during Winter season.
Over all maintenance of the course has improved since our last visit. Tee boxes need improving. Lakes and rives need to be maintained. Stoney paths need to be levelled and bark would improve the surface passage of all paths.
This course could be outstanding but investment needed badly around this golf course.
Course was so wet it could have been close to unplayable
Needs some serious attention
I used to play this course 10-15 years ago and it was a really good challenge. Unfortunately the same thing can't be said today.
The course needs hundreds of thousands spent on it to get it back to its former glory. The location and landscape is great but the course was is in pretty bad shape. Most holes need a complete overhaul and lots of attention. Built on clay it get very wet in the winter months.
In fairness to the management team I think they know this and that's why you can get 18 holes on a Saturday morning for £25. Doubt you can do that anywhere else in Surrey right now.
Fingers crossed someone gets hold of this place and turns it round.
Very poor condition
Course was in a very poor condition. All bunkers out of action and haven’t been maintained. 3 x temporary greens and a large amount of tees off mats. Greens do not look to be treated and again are very poor. Half way house not open even though tee sheet was fully booked and could have taken some trade. A real shame as was first time playing here but will not return.
