Maylands Golf Club

An excellent course which I have played many times but letting societies out on weekend mornings ruins it for everyone else. Won't be back in a hurry as I can't spend 5 + Hours playing a two.ball.

What a little gem set in parklands with dear roaming freely, can tell it had been battered by the recent rain but all the greenskeepers were out in force and is looking good and expect it to improve even more.

First time i have here for over two covid etc

Greens poor yes it has been wet

Although the course is playable to many areas muddy

hopefully be much better come mid April

Staff were friendly enough, there had been an issue with our booking and we had been paired with another group, staff told us we were welcome to let him play off in front if we didn’t want to make small talk. Pace of play was very good, very quick for a Saturday afternoon. Had been some concerns in the build up as website said no trolleys, however push/pull were allowed on the day. Course was very damp, hadn’t been hardly any rain in the build up so was surprised by this. In places there were quite visible puddles, drainage could be worked on.

I’d probably play there again if it was a society day but not sure if rush back for a standard round.

Stopped for a drink after, clubhouse staff very good, limited out door seating, 2 picnic benches in the shade of a bush, nothing on the terrace (which was strange)

Course had a great lay out but very wet all over worth a knock in dry conditions

The course is in terrible condition at the moment and was still letting trolleys on which cant be helping. Play was really really slow. Normally an enjoyable course but charging full price for that didnt seem right. Avoid till conditions improve

I’ve played here a few times over the years and I really like the course layout with each hole offers a different challenge. The wildlife on display is magnificent with Deer casually strolling around, unfazed by the golfers. I do think good greens make a course, and that’s where Mayland’s lets itself down. They are uneven as a result of the coring process, therefore making it a pain to putt on, with straight putts taking a turn or bobble on its way to the hole.

It’s better greens away from being a great course.

the pros- pace of play was great. no hold ups at all. course layout and design was fun and challenging. the bunkers all had nice sand in and were no trouble playing out off. tees were flat and in good condition. witnessed about 10 green keeping staff out doing work through the round.

aesthetically pleasing on the eye with all the deer about.

the cons - rough was a little too long TBH. leaves on the course made it difficult to find even a well hit ball, but it is that time of year! greens had been spiked and covered (and i mean covered) in sand.

but to be fair, if i was a member here i would put up with this if it meant you received top quality conditions for the rest of the time. course was challenging but not ridiculously so for a mid to high HC.

The greens were like putting on the beach , I no they have to work on the greens but did not need to leave the green completely covered n sand was a joke, to be honest a waste of 30 pound

Played yesterday in a 2 ball , found the pace of play very slow. The greens were poor having had recent maintenance work carried out.

Overall, Maylands was good. The leaves from the trees were causing a slight problem with finding your ball, even on the fairways but leaf blowers did appear after we had played about 10 holes. Greens had been spiked which didn't help much but I guess it needs to be done. I would go back.

As always a challenging course. Fairways,bunkers and greens all adequate but bettered on other similar courses. Most annoying factor was that our pre booked tee time was directly behind a large society. It resulted in us playing the front 9 twice. The 1st 9 took 3:15 hours the 2nd 1:30hours. No problem with the society in front but the club should have given more leeway to them and any bookings behind. Great staff and social facilities.
