Merrist Wood Golf Club

I was pleasantly surprised with the overall track and conditions of the fairways and greens.
For the price I don't think you'll find a better track in Surrey right now. Lots of v good looking holes, especially on the back 9. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed. Booking my next tee very soon!

Merrist Wood is a great course, we booked again for this Sunday. Holes are varied and some of the greens are extremely challenging but fun and true.

Some of the bunkers let it down as they needed work done to them but apart from that, I cant really fault it. Especially for £30 on a Sunday morning and a 4 hour round.

Played this course last time when it was private and I'm amazed the course is still looking and playing well. These courses usually go down hill when becoming pay and play. Would highly recommend this track. You won't get better for the price locally. It's better than pine ridge and cheaper and alot less busy.

Very nice course. Lots of bunkers around the greens which makes it quite challenging but also very interesting. The course was quiet when I played so no issues with regards the pace of play. One or two of the greens could do with a bit of work but overall excellent value for money. Will play again.

Very Good layout , with streams on various holes running just in front of greens.
Greens in very good condition.
When we played the the course was empty.

Being new to golf I really enjoyed playing on this course

Enjoyed the round but course showing signs of its poor drainage and playing very soft. Greens were okay although fairways were a little long. Bunkers (yeah, I know, I should stay out of them) were truly appalling.
A course definitely needing a bit of TLC.
Only saw one person in (quite nice) clubhouse who acted as Golf Shop Pro, barman and chef!
Food choice was extremely limited.

Thoroughly enjoyed my round here, great course, greens were running true and will definitely be recommending to friends (already have!) and paying a visit here again in the summer for definite and on multiple occasions no doubt.

Played here a lot before Xmas and things just got worse and worse. Played today and a total Pleasant surprise. A lot of work has been done to the course. Only 1 fairway was slightly damp. Great fairways otherwise. Greens are perfectly acceptable. Unplayable rough has been fully cut back. A lot of trees and bushes have been cut to allow the breeze to dry things out. Currently very under priced for the challenge the course holds. Get while the getting is good. It will once again go up as it’s improving all the time. Plus Adrian and he’s staff give a very warm welcome. Once the new owners get their plans accepted and implemented it’s gonna be a gem.

The bunkers have yet to have sand in them. Only bad point.

Was a bit concerned playing the course after reading so many bad reviews.

Course was certainly not wet its quite challenging its longer than average.

Only negatives bunkers need some sand in them and ground is covered in worm castles which had gone quite crusty. Tee boxes were good and greens ran well but were quite challenging.

Pace of play wasn't great on the day with some very poor golfers.

Course has some really great holes nice open fairways.

Greens where excellent , fairways seemed pretty good as we are just coming out of winter.
Plenty of varied holes , outstanding value for money.

Merrist Wood has a lot of potential and already has a good course layout. I understand it’s in the process of being taken over and will be under new management. I hope there will be investment into the course and bringing up to a level it deserves. Vast majority of the course was very wet under foot and we were having balls plug in the fairway and on one occasion lose a ball completely.
I would definitely come back to play Merrist Wood in the future but only when sufficient investment into the course has been done

Muddy, we were the only players out there!
Offered £10 a round for another day!
