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)

Shame the greens and tees had just been hollow tuned and heavily sanded, I picture the course being really good by end May.

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.

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.

Terrible Gone Down Hill

Course has gone down hill not worth the money we paid ..:: Arrived to be told apologies we was about to ring you only 9 holes open for play. Course extremely wet fairways full of clay all greens diseased 1000s of pounds needed to bring back to standard felt like course has been let to go, could hear other golf groups very dissatisfied. Unfortunately won’t be going back not even for a fiver a round very sad for a once cracking course.

Gatton Manor November

I was interested to see how this course played given that it is 50 years old. It is a very good layout but given the unusually dry spell, being largely built on clay was very wet and needs substantial investment to bring it to the standard to be able to call it a championship course.

Poor condition, but has potential.

First impressions of the club itself (clubhouse, putting green etc.) were very tired looking and needs investment.

Similar to previous reviews, greens were in poor condition, bunkers have been completely neglected and tee boxes were messy. On the upside, the fairways were in decent condition and there was shape and definition between them and the rough.

If this course gets some investment and much needed TLC, it will be a pleasure to play. It certainly has character and potential, but not at the moment.
