Great value

Panshanger is a very good looking course with some lovely holes and is a genuine test. Very good condition especially for a pay and play and the best thing of all, rarely very busy. Midweek you can often just turn up and tee off.

Highly recommended.

Sunshine after the rain

The weather was sunny after the previous few days of rain which meant the bunkers were GUR due to many being water logged, however, the rest of the course, including the greens were dry. Staff were polite and courteous. The course was quite challenging and picturesque with a good variety of different holes. One of my playing partners (with a single figure handicap) found it entertaining and enjoyed it enough to remark he would like to visit again. All in all a good day was had by all.

Work Challenge

Booked a 4-ball at Panshanger and couldn't believe what great value for money it was. Our tee off time was 3pm and although a bit wet when we started the weather was perfect with little wind. Course was in great condition and greens well maintained apart for the odd pitch mark. We finished within 4 hours with no waiting and no one pushing us. Looking to book another round within the next 2 weeks.

Panshanger Golf Course

A lovely municipal course which is in really good condition considering how wet it has been of late.

The greens were not the fastest I have ever putted on but they were certainly true and rolled very well. The fariways were a little bumpy as I guess the course was a bit dry before the rains. Bunkers were good the sand was different colours from hole to hole.

The golf shop was stocked with lots of decent brands and the staff were friendly. The buggy that we rented was £27 so not the cheapest around but it looked brand new and was spotless. we did not go in to the bar/pub attached to the course so could not comment on this. There looked to be quite a few people in there but I got the impression it was a bit rough round the edges.

Great value for money - I played pretty well and will be coming back again.

Great layout, pooly maintained

Great layout, favouring a drawer of the ball. Greens are lovely. Tees very uneven; fairways with lots of rabbit holes; bunkers have more stones than sand and are poorly defined; staff do not do constructive criticism.

Society Day Spoilt a great course

Course was in fantastic condition and the greens were impeccable.

However being stuck behind 3 society day 4 balls from the 3rd hole onwards ruined a good golf experience.

They lacked course knowledge and etiquette, failing to rake bunkers and leaving cigarette butts on the tee boxes.

There was no sign of a course marshall and no number to call for slow play. A typical 3 hour 10 minute round for 2 players took 4 hours 35.

That said it was in great nick however staff didn't seem bothered about our concerns.

Reluctant to return. All courses should have a slow play hotline

Great course and value for money

The course was in excellent condition throughout with smooth quick greens. Challenging but you are able to score well if you keep the ball in play. A good mix of holes. Thoroughly enjoyable.
