Where is the gras?

A great day with some old friends at a location in the middle of us and at a reasonable price. Thundery showers had been forecast for our round so we weren't sure whether we would even be able to finsh. With a few breaks under some trees for the storms to pass, we completed our round in 4 and a half hours, not bad for a 4 ball starting at sunday lunchtime. It's generally a busy course and being relativley cheap does encourage novice golfers to play here, which can slow you down if they are not adhering to etiquette but no such troubles today. The course itself has always been enjoyable to play, not overly challenging but some great holes, and on the day, the fairways were baked and the ball would often run off if not hit in the correct position. Course conditions were not great though, most tees have been scraped and their is some kind of mulchy surface that is okay for a tee and ball but doesn't provide the best grip even with spikes. It is hard to find a flat bit to hit a drive from also. The fairways were brown and pretty bare making ball striking really important even for a 15 handicapper! The greens had been well watered but were not consistent and follwoing the showers there was a lot of casual water on and around the greens. Every green was a different speed and pitch marks don't seem to be encouraged to be repaired, i could have repaired dozens on each green. Most bunkers are full of stones so clubs can be easily damaged playing from a trap, a few bunkers have been replaced with white sand a number of years ago but they haven't got round to rest yet. On the day, there was a function in the clubhouse and loud music was played all day which could be heard all over the course, wasn't an issue for us but could be for purists. Didn't go in the clubhouse but have before, offers the usual function rooms for weddings and such and a bar with a balcony with views over the course, a nice way to watch some other groups coming in and refresh yoursefl after your round. All this being said i will go back to the course i grew up playing for the layout and the memories.

Slow slow slow

I wouldn’t be playing this again, a 4 ball in a few groups in front of us slowed the day to the point that 4 people behind them from differing groups quit playing by the 11th, we caught said group who spent 20mins looking g for a ball, wouldn’t let play pass and picked up at least 4 of our balls, at that was them walking back a good 60/70 yards to pick it up. Then on the 18th sat on the green to stop our play. Never experienced such shocking behaviour

No course management

We paid for 18 holes, but left half way down the 10th. Pace was slow for first 9, over two hours for a 3 ball, but on the 8th hole we noticed a new four ball ahead who had obviously just joined the course from the car park. On the 10th we then noticed a 6 ball ( yes 6) ahead of the new four-ball on the 11th!, We had also seen these boys in the car park when teeing off the 8th. No proof given to us at the clubhouse to prove we were paying customers and no checks on the course for those just joining from the car park. Waste of money!

Absolutely shockingly poor

Terrible golfing experience at Panshanger and definitely won’t be going back there again. Awful standard of golfers there who play with absolutely zero golf etiquette and who made the entire round of golf a complete and utter waste of a Sunday afternoon. The course itself is no better and is in poor condition for this time of the year, it looks and feels really shabby with lack of maintenance on fairways, greens and tee boxes throughout. Having morons on buggies racing around behind us, hitting balls in our directions without a care in the world and not even bothering to call out when they headed in our direction was simply disgraceful. The 3 ball in front of us deciding to wait on every tee box until the group of players had actually finished the hole before they even considered teeing off made the round so ridiculously long and frustrating for us as we were then caught in the middle of their tardiness and complete disregard for pace of play and the group of mad pot smoking speedy gonzalez yutes behind us , basically sandwiched and trapped between 7 of the worlds worst golfers known to man! The course is also in terrible condition therefore I can score this no better than I have done which is a big fat NIL

Thorough Enjoyable but tricky

I played my best ever golf getting 38 points but this was a course that made you think about your shots to take advantage of the numerous sloped fairways both up and down and sideways. Course was in generally good condition considering the very dry weather. I really enjoyed it.

Slow play

Two ball in front of us were let through by a three ball however three ball were ridiculous sow even with 2 buggies

Spent time on 9 th green practising putting which was y at all annoying

Perhaps some staff out and about to speed up play would help as it’s not my job as customer to complain to other customers

Gave up after 9 holes it was that slow
