Maylands Golf Club

I’ve played Maylands a few times now over the past 2 years and I’ve never had a bad round, this weekend was a bit slower due to a championship taking place, but staff are always friendly the course is well maintained and a lovely practice area before you start.

Shocked to see the condition of a course that a few years prior was in tip top condition, look so in need of help. Rock hard fairways with hardly and grass, cracked greens and bunkers with not enough sand.

Lots of work going on so i will check back next summer .

Really nice course, with some great features and tricky holes. Watch out for the dears

I booked a 09:45 tee off a week ago unbeknownst that I’d be playing 45mph gale force winds! As a player still shaking the rust off after a long time away, I probably bit off more than I could chew with this challenging course today. What I loved:

Some beautiful wide fairways that can be forgiving for the lower handicapper

Some stunning elevated tee positions playing down into valleys

Wild deer walking the course made me feel at one with nature

I love that trolleys are provided which spared me carrying my bag

What I didn’t like:

That I played hole 6 and then hole 14 next to it by accident thinking it was 7. Poor signposting led me playing behind a party of 3 that had previously been behind me.

There’s a lot of rolling par 4s which for the high handicapper will end up being a struggle.

Old boys might need a buggy as it’s very hilly but I loved the terrain personally.

There was a lot of debris on the greens but hard to legislate for given the winds.

All in all, one I’d love to revisit perhaps when it’s not a hurricane!

The course is a good layout but the greens and tees need watering as it was hard as a rock, its a shame.

Nice course, In good condition despite the lack of rain. Good challenge, and pace of play was reasonable despite the course being quite busy. Well worth a visit if you can.

Great course. Buggies need a lot of work and the pro shop has little within it. Depends what you want from what is open to non members. Bar staff were great.

Very good value for the online booking rate. Course in good condition considering the lack of rain. Always plays tougher than the rating with some challenging holes.

Greenkeeping staff friendly and good bar and food at reasonable prices with pleasant staff.

Fairways wasn't great hardly any grass on them and the greens wasn't that good for this time of year unfortunates course is no where near as good as it used to be a few years back played worse for sure but disappointed to see it like that oh yeah and over half the bunkers were unplayable full of stones and cheap sand they are upgrading them but they need time to get them sorted

This has always been a course I've wondered about playing at having driven past it going around the M25 many times and it certainly won't be the last time I visit. For £20 twilight tee off I felt the price reflected the course conditions which felt as though were going through a fairly large transformation especially on the first 6 or 7 holes. Some of the latter holes were very nice and if you don't mind the wildlife the large volume of deer felt quite special. Overall a very good round.

This is a traditional golf club with a varied layout and some great holes. The front nine is a bit of work in progress with some new design and works ongoing but once past hole 5, all is good. The wild roaming deer an added bonus.

Me and my friend played Maylands golf club on Friday the 18th of April. We were both looking forward to a nice round of golf and as I had played here previously and was in good condition when last playing a couple of years back I told my friend it’s a good test and greens were really good. This was short lived.

No indication from the man in the pro shop after we also spent £25 on a buggy. The greens were absolutely atrocious. Holes, dry patches, everywhere. Course maintenance scattered everywhere on the front 9. A really really bad experience, especially after raving to my mate about it being a good course and usually in good nick. The 5th hole… which usually is a par 4, had been converted in to a par 3 which an Astro green!!! Never in my life have I seen a course have to use an Astro green before, that was beyond laughable. I felt embarrassed.

The back 9 had no maintenance which was somewhat a positive from the disaster on the front but the greens remained, bumpy, and felt almost impossible to make a putt outside of five feet.

Overall, I would not reccomend this course whatsoever to anyone wanting to play in the near future, a complete disaster of a “course” and at the prices, even more so.

A big let down.

Had a 11.37am tee time, got there early and waited until 11.55am before we headed off.

A society of 5 x 4 balls were in front of us, plus a guy playing by himself, and then a 3 ball.

Took over 5 hours to play 18 holes, which is madness, and we must have wasted about an hour, waiting to play the next hole.

Will be going out early mornings at this course going forward....

Really good golf course to play i would recommend to a friend of anyone who plays golf not expensive eva stuff really perlite I defo will play this course again
