North Downs Golf Club

The course was incredibly busy with at least 4/5 teams having a golf outing so we changed out tee time from Saturday to Monday as they would not give us a refund. We paid £40 but the same T off on Monday was £30 cheaper but there was no offer to address the disparity. The first 8 holes were ok , not very challenging but was ok, from hole 9 onwards much nicer and interesting. There were lots of young people playing which is good however many were very erratic, twice they played when they clearly should not have , I was hit once. People have to learn but there should a marshal managing play, someone will get hurt. What was even worse two people behind when we requested they should not play when we were within striking distance, we were abused with foul language which is totally unacceptable . I went to report this but there was no one present.

Played here many times and always good pace of play. Staff are all great and it's very welcoming. Course layout is really interesting with a great down hill par 3 into a valley. The course condition has been really bad this spring unfortunately due to the wet weather and badgers digging up greens. Condition was the good last summer though.

Some of the greens in the first few holes was literally in the fairway.

Well what can I say, location and visually a stunning course.

A shorter course than your average, but it plays longer with the terrain. Especially this time of year weather conditions, playing into wind etc.

over all, a challenging course, plenty of greens on shelves and challenging pin positions( when I played). I’d definitely like to come back in the summer. The amenities were fair, and the food, certainly not the finest but my only constructive Critism.

Thankyou, The North downs, see you again soon.

The course is not long and is ideal for mid handicap golfers. Staff were friendly here and it is a course that we will enjoy playing again.

Great course very friendly staff and members. Course in great condition.

Very nice course with some testing holes wish I had played it sooner

The layout of the course is great, if you enjoy parallel fairways on a 45 degree slope. The pace of play was abysmal, there were points where 3 twoballs were waiting on the tee. The greens were rock solid, no spin or stop, like putting on concrete. However they weren’t as bad as the tee boxes- made out of either sand or concrete it was impossible to hit an iron off most tee boxes. The “hit and hope hole” was the worst, a 165 shot downhill by about 30 yards, which was essentially off a tee box that may as well have been a bunker.

The putting green is *on* the back of the 18th green which was odd beyond belief.

The staff were nice though, so every cloud.

Although parking is an issue we found that there was no waiting at the tee and the pace of play was really good.

The course itself wasn’t in the greatest of conditions (back 9 better than front 9) but the layout was interesting enough with some long par 4s mixed with some drivable ones. For a high handicapper who doesn’t want to feel pressured this could be a good fit but for me the conditioning of the course just wasn’t up to par.
