Nice course, facilities limited

Looked for a place to play after work when visiting the area. Good value for money based on the quality of the course, greens very good.

It's a fairly tight course with well guarded greens and well placed bunkers. Good condition, could do with better signage between holes and especially from the car park to the first tee? I ended up starting on the 10th as I had to guess where the 1st was.

Great potential to match facilities with the course and would play again just for the challenge and the condition.

Not a warm welcome!

First impressions stick and unfortunately at Hart Common my first impression wasn’t great! The course was sound, the staff however could work on their people skills. There’s a house on the course and when I nearly stepped foot on the grounds (forgive me, didn’t know the lay of the land) a woman basically shouted at me and told me off like I was a child for nearly stepping foot on the premises. I apologised and she looked me up and down, horrible! Then the lady in the club shop wasn’t any better, my bro was wearing the wrong pants, she spoke down to me about this and made my brother feel stupid. Again I was apologetic about this but she didn’t want to know! I realise there’s a dress code but being rude and condescending in the moment doesn’t help. Wasn’t a warm welcome and won’t be rushing back here.

Very surprised

A lovely well laid out course in great condition.

Car parking facilities could do with a tidy up but doesn't take anything away from the wanting to play here again.

Tee times too close together

Course and virtually everything surrounding playing was more than good enough but unfortunately with what I'd suspect as tee times too close together (being 4 mins apart) means that I was behind a two ball in a buggy which where playing right up to a four ball on foot in front of them this meant I then had another gent right behind me and it ruined a good round unfortunately if the tee times where better managed or simply set further apart it could remove the tightness on each group. Aside from that, the staff, amenities, course conditions, layout, parking, everything was better than my last visit which I've never had a bad one either.

Technical!!

Review is of my own opinion and high handicap. Starting with the course - very technical and unforgiving on some holes, I wouldn’t reccomend this as a starters course. First man I met wasn’t that nice as there was a comp on that day and not many golf courses are that friendly to non members. Man in shop, very friendly and welcoming - super helpful, described first three holes and told us where to start and who was in front of us. We was also behind two members who where super friendly and welcoming. To be fair I had a bad day on this course so it kind of tainted my opinion but I have to be honest it’s kept superb, the fairways are great and pins excellent. It’s defo worth the money, even if surrounded by golf upper class!!!

Great course but could do with knowing beforehand regarding pairing up

I’ve been to this course a fair few times and I love the layout and the conditions considering the amount of poor weather we’re excellent. However I can’t help but feel a bit miffed that I was told on arrival that I would be pairing up into a fourball with people who I’d never met before. I was looking forward to playing on my own at my own pace and was expecting to be finished earlier than the four and half hours it took me to complete. Don’t get me wrong the people who I played with were nice company but would have preferred to test my new clubs at my own pace and not under pressure as much.

Could be better

A good course and the weather had been terrible but it was playable. Greens needed a little work and the tees were a little long. It’s well and good having automatic mowers but the rough is a bit too much as it’s obviously not being mowed. We had a good day, the weather was good and the pace of play was fine. All was going well until the 17th when some stupid woman, her 2 kids and 2 dogs wandered across the fairway just as I was on my backswing. She walked across like the queen at Sandringham as if she owed the place and I was to bow down at her presence. If irresponsible dog owners saunter across the fairway while golf is in play then they should do so at their own risk. The fact that I was then concerned at hitting her with a wayward shot that ruined my game. Golf courses are for golfers. There are hundreds of areas for dog owners (I know, I am one) but I would not walk across a busy road and expect everyone to stop for me. Do us all a favour and get rid of the public access. Let them walk around the course rather than over it please.

Wettest course I’ve ever played but greens fine

I’m sure most non links courses are damp but I’ve never know a wetter course in my life than this. Not sure how it was even open.

Greens were surprisingly ok given how soggy the rest of the course was.

One to visit again in summer me thinks as the layout etc was pretty good.

Great winter course

Course in amazing condition for the time of year and all of the rain we've had. Greens immaculate, normal tees.

Great range with TopTracer in every bay.

Looks like lots of improvements coming as well by the looks of it.

Will definitely play again

Perfect winter golf

With all greens in use and fairways in play, Hart Common really is one of the best courses for winter golf. The greens were in great nick as usual and for value for money, it really can’t be beaten.

Best Winter Course I have played for a long time

We have played this course several times and love it. I have never played it in the winter.

So impressed with how well the course held up, no temp greens or tee boxes. Fairways all top noch,

Best winter track in a long time. No water holding, greens still fast and in really good condition.

Well done all involved at this club. 🙌🏼
