What a Gem

Best last minute decision I have made for ages. Took the chance on the weather and booked a round mid morning for two persons. First impressions were really good as we drove up to the course and these only improved with each interaction. Staff were friendly and approachable, practise facilities excellent. Course was a little damp in places but only to be expected after recent weather, Course layout really good no two holes the same in succession. Each shot was a different challenge due to contours of the course and greens really made you think about your golf. Greens recovering from early year tinning and dressing but were quick and true enough. Best part of the day were tow local members who when we caught them up and we were both waiting to tee off invited us to join them for the remaining holes they were playing, this sped up our game and created a gap between our group and the ones behind, a really nice gesture. Will definitely be returning Thank you to every one at Horsley Lodge.

Super greens. Good test.

Good day out. An absolute downpour to 20 mins before tee time and a howling gale did not manage to dampen our enjoyment. Greens were firm and true, amazing given the rain. Super breezy also which made the whole round a good test. Pro shop were friendly and lunch in the club house after was tasty and decent value. Will be back.

Great greens

Greens were in fantastic condition for this time of year, in fact the whole course was very good. Only slight issue was winter tee mats but I can see the reason for them particularly as the morning was very wet.

Friendly

Friendly is a good way to review Horsley and it’s not just the staff the members are also very friendly too, although I have to say it was the bar staff that came out on top.

Great Course saves the day

Booked for last day before lockdown and expected it to be busy. However some additional bookings (?) prior to us meant we teed of about 30 minutes late. We were on verge of walking out and asking for refund when it looked like being an even longer wait, and less chance of completing the round before dark.

The course itself was in very good condition bearing in mind recent bad weather. Winter teeing mats, Fairways fine (winter rules) and greens a bit bumpy after recent pre-winter work.

Pace of play was poor on first nine but as some bailed out with twilight approaching it speeded up. Completed last hole in semi-dark.

Great value for money but the afore mentioned delays meant that we were somewhat rushed and hence only 4 stars.

Will definitely return.

First time playing this course and will most definitely be back again. A well looked after course, greens and fairways in excellent condition and I can honestly say not one bad hole. A challenging course ... keep it straight and pick your way around will give opportunities to score! All in all well worth playing with a friendly atmosphere.
