Lexden Wood Golf Club - 18-hole Course

Not our 1st time here so it’s worth coming back. Course is currently being developed so ALL bunkers are currently G.U.R, that said they look as they will be adding to the course when they are in play. Fairways are nice, no real 1st cut rough but hey, what really did disappoint was the condition of the greens, even the practice putting surface is somewhat to be desired! The 15th really took the biscuit though with half the green literally unplayable. A little more info on the course condition would be useful as you’ll be paying good money and feel cheated if unaware as I was. That said the course is very enjoyable and challenging and able to bite if you take your eye off the ball!

The track man range is amazing and well worth it

Course is having a lot of work on bunkers at the moment but should be better when finished

It’s an interesting course, the first 9 are fairly standard holes but not well kempt throughout. Bunkers have no sand in and it had been replaced with a rubbery turf like mat which is horrible to hit off. Around the bunkers there are also trenches where they are hopefully working on them although that wasn’t evident on our round on a Monday afternoon so suspicious they are being left like this. The back nine is a bunch of dog legs and blind holes with hills and mounds everywhere. No course map on the card, most of the 150 yard markers are missing and there’s no hole distance or shape shown near the tee to give you any idea where you’re going.

The course is also split having to go under the A12 to the other side so your really need a cart to go round or your looking at maybe 5 hours. This place has potential to be really good and challenging but they need to maintain it properly and add some guidance on the tees or scorecard.

As it is I wouldn’t go get again for a round, just to use the range which is pretty good although a bit expensive.

Front 9 fairways in as good a condition as I've known them, with work actively taking place on bunkers, but greens need attention, and back 9 is much less well-tended on the whole. Nobody on reception when I arrived or left.

Challenging course, pre season and the fairways were excellent.

Signs that money is being spent to bring this course back to life. Work under way on all the bunkers. Greens seeded and sanded...should be good in a few weeks..fairways have been mowed as well. 22.50 is a fair price for pay and play...good off course facilities with friendly staff. Looking forward tonplaying again to see how this course is managed and brought back to life 🏌️‍♂️⛳️

So much activity at the club on and off the course. I visited before Christmas and the course was shocking. Now you can see the greens are being worked on ,fairways are smart and the new bunker building looks amazing. I will be back!!

I was recommended Lexden Wood by a friend who has been a member for years. I had a great round of golf followed by a delicious pizza. Speaking to the lovely staff they said how excited everyone is for this year as more improvements are yet to come. At this rate I can see myself becoming a member quite quickly.

This course was recommended to me by a friend who has been a member for many years. I had a wonderful round of golf and a very good pizza afterwards. Speaking to their lovely staff too, the club is still undergoing a lot of improvements which makes me very excited for what’s to come. Will probably look at becoming a member.

The course has massively improved over the last few months since the new ownership. We had a great day out and staff were very helpful and friendly. The whole place has a great feel about it.

It seems the new owners are still working hard on improving the greens and the bunkers and I look forward to seeing further improvements.

Will definitely be back.

I visited last year and the course was in bad shape, especially the greens. Having returned to play this year with friends in the area, I was plesantly surprised by the turnaround. The course is great shape, especially the front 9. It is evident a lot of work is going into the maintenance of the golf course with greens and bunkers being treated.

This course has previously got some bad reviews for good reason. However now it’s under new ownership it’s becoming a great course.only downside was a few holes were closed due to them being worked on but we were compensated by being allowed to replay previous holes.

Very pleasant visit to this course and the staff are very friendly.

Would recommend
