Park Wood Golf Club

Have always read (and taken) reviews with a pinch of salt, we all have our likes and dislikes when it comes to courses. And reading the reviews before playing here was no different.

What WAS different, however, was that the many many reviews describing this as a hidden gem were actually true! AND we played in November when a lot of other courses had restriction after restriction. None here! Granted a couple of the fairways were a tad soft, but we could still play them.

Looking forward to playing here many more times in 2025, if it is this impressive in winter, spring/summer will be a delight!

Lovely challenging course and layout, great value worth the trip out to the countryside.

Good Course, Clubhouse felt a bit souless, quite a few up one fairway down the next, could do with some better signage too. Was a misty, damp day so probablly not the best day to play there...

The course condition is too wet and muddy everywhere. Greens were slow and bunkers were flooded.

Conditions weren’t great. Course had some good features but the pace of play was the worst I have ever experienced.

Would not play again

Pleasantly surprised. Greens and fairways in great condition. Long holes, will recommend it to my society for one of our golf days.

Played after heavy rain and the course played well. Will drfinetly play agai.n

Always enjoy playing Parkwood. Only really play in the summer, as the course can get water logged in the winter, on the front 9. Quite tight in places, so you need to be pretty straight off the tee. Greens were in good shape, and ran well (pretty quick). One of the highest points around, so the views of London, can be pretty impressive on a bright sunny day.

Ok, let's start with the positives.

The breakfast was unreal and reasonably priced.

The course was a great layout and overall we found the course interesting, it had everything, Short holes, long holes, tight tee shots, A HUGE par 3 at 248 yards.. and a few blind tee shots.

Now the Negatives...

We drove 50 miles to play here and after we bought breakfast, drinks and whatever else we parted with £130.00 + fuel and it was disappointing.

If you want to work on your 3 putts, this is the place to come. I never thought that in July i would ever find myself putting on greens running 4 on the stimp. I think the fairways were cut shorter than the greens.

The fairways, although cut nicely and there was definition between fairways, 1st cut and rough.

There were too many weeds on the fairways.

The par 3 14th - the shrubs around the lake were so high you couldn't see the flag from the back tee boxes).

Overall a decent day, but if i had to use one word to describe the golf course it would be "shabby". No attention to detail. This could be a cracking course.

Great value course, especially for afternoon rounds when its cheaper and quieter.

Greens were very slow, didn't seem like they'd been rolled or cut but usually that's not the case. Lots of broken ball cleaners though and not a lot of sand in many of the bunkers. A little bit of care and attention would make it a 5 star without much more effort.

Couldn’t believe how quiet it was ! I will be visiting again

Picked up a deal on Golf Now a two ball for £30. Had a 1502 tee time and was surprised that we went straight off with nobody in front of us.

A good test of golf with tree lined fairways and holes with water aplenty.

Greens held up well but a few holes that needed fellow golfers to repair their pitch marks !!!

Great value golf would definitely recommend

I couldn’t play as hurt my back 😢 but hubby and son had a great time and really enjoyed the course, thank you

We will be back!

Nice Course, If you drive straight a good score is possible.

Greens a bit sandy but overall well worth a visit

First time playing and will certainly be back. Played solo with a tee time of 1pm on a Sunday afternoon. Nobody before or after me for half hour each way so was able to tee off 20 minutes early. Caught up with the group in front by the 9th who immediately waved me through then joined up with another solo. Pace slowed a bit but nothing too slow.

Great variations of holes. Need to drive it straight as lots of tree lines but not so tight that you couldn't open the shoulders and hit it.

Bit noisy coming down the last as kids party happening in the clubhouse but actually found it added to the charm.
