Gatton Manor Hotel Golf & Country Club

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.

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.

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.

Lovely course ,unfortunately we played after torrential rain and the course was very wet /bogie .Definitely would play again but later in the year when the weather is slightly better .

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.

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.

Nice layout and challenging course.?however needs a lot of work to bring up to standard. Greens poor, bunkers with grass and very wet. I am sure new head green keeper will sort out.

Will look to pay again next year to see improvements.

Okay for money paid

Played the course a few times previously, approx. 3+ years ago. Unfortunately the condition of the course has deteriorated which is a great shame as it has such good possibilities.

The greens were in poor condition and all the bunkers were GUR. The course is in need of some TLC but you can see its potential even though there are a lot of blind shots.

Facilities were being renovated (or so it seemed) so not the great experience we anticipated but this was reflected in the rate. The staff were very friendly.

The course has the potential to be really good. They layout is good and has plenty of good features. But the course is in a state of disrepair and has not been adequately maintained for what appears to be a long period of time. The bunkers are under GUR and have clearly not been touched for a long period of time as they contained more grass than the fairway. The greens were in very poor condition, even for the winter months. Everything else was all a bit wild and needs some time spent of tidying it up. Overall, the course would be transformed if some time and effort was spent of bringing it back to a good condition.

Excellent course,greens need a little work,great to see all bunkers being refurbished with new sand,

Clubhouse and hotel being refurbished too,will definitely going back in the future weeks ahead

Course was in very good condition for time of year. Greens were well maintained, few bald patches but rolled flat. Fairways were well cut and not boggy

Bunkers and grass needs cutting, looks like the course has been deteriorating over the last year

Overall very poor state grass growing out of bunkers ,no bunkers were raked greens in very poor condition very patchy I played last year and was great won’t be playing golf there no more totally run down

Great course that is slowly being restored to it firmer glory. If you are looking for value for money on a beautifully laid out course this should be top of your list. The tee boxes & greens need some work but it’s playable. Looking forward to playing it again soon.

Played here before quite a few times but would not return soon

Fairways were like semi rough and the semi even longer.

Bunkers were all GUR which is just lazy way not to have to put new sand in them and carry out any repairs

Greens and tees were only ok but again could do with a bit more TLC

Such a shame to see a nice course not being looked after

Haven't played this course for many years and was surprised how long it was and how unforgiving it was if you were not on the fairway!! We both thought that the layout of the course was good and challenging. The bunkers were in very poor condition but we were advised that they were all effectively GUR.
