New complete refurb. Very tatty
The whole place has been un loved!! Greens are bad, front nine fairways left uncut and covered in white flowers (weeds). It’s a real shame that this course including all the buildings have had very little maintenance since the 90s.
Pro shop shut! No food available after our game, it was 30 degrees and they didn’t even have any ice for my drink.
Sat outside on 20 year old dirty picnic tables.
The whole place needs to be sold to investors that would need to spent a lot of money on it !!
Sad to see such a previously nice course go to pieces !!
Not a very for giving coarse
Fairways could do with a cut and some greens need to be better maintained
If you don’t drive straight you could be in a lot of trouble. Lost a lot of balls
A good day
The course is tight and challenging. A little back tracking from some greens to the next T-box but the layout is good. Greens were showing signs of lack of irrigation and general maintenance. But saying that will return again as the course in places showed massive promise.
Richmond Park golf course Thetford.
Tee off time 8.00am.
Arrived to find all building locked, ie club shop, reception, bar. Proceeded to first tee. After playing about 6 holes we noticed that there had not been much work done on the course appearance. The greens were bumpy and weedy, the fairways looked like they hadn’t been cut for weeks. Very disappointing, we had travelled over a hour to play the course. The online profile is very misleading.
Fairways
Good course but found fairways grass was to long needed to be cut shorter
Great value for money.
This was my first time around Richmond Park, the online reviews probably put me off to be honest. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. There are challenging holes with plenty
of water hazards. The fairways are long with some narrow pinch points. The course was fairly busy but I wasn’t hurried along which was nice, as it was a pleasant sunny day. The greens aren’t the best, but it is winter conditions and they weren’t water logged like some more expensive courses I’ve played locally recently. I paid £12 for 18 holes on a Saturday at midday. That kind of price cannot be beaten.
45 min drive and was closed
No sign of it being closed
Online or on the app drove 45mins to be told it’s closed and still not got a refund from what I saw it looked like a very shabby run down course and bar area.
Much better than last time!
Our course was on temporary greens so we took the decision to play here. We were surprised how good it was. The course layout is first class and pretty demanding. Tee boxes were good. Fairways were quite playable as were the greens. Some greens had bare mud patches on them, usually near the edges. The course is not in good condition but it’s quite playable although winter conditions make some of the par4s a stern test. It’s not over muddy, as we found out. The green fee probably reflects this. So, all in all, we enjoyed our round and will certainly be returning.
Stunning but Demanding
This golf course makes a stunning first impression. The fairways are beautifully open and the layout is impressive, though it's important to note it is quite long. We found ourselves thoroughly tired by the 18th hole.
I would strongly advise having a trolley. Carrying a full bag across this extensive course is a recipe for exhaustion and can detract from the enjoyment of the round.
While scenic, the course presents a significant challenge for beginners. The hole designs, combined with the length, require a level of skill and endurance that new players may not yet have. However, intermediate to experienced golfers will likely find it a rewarding and enjoyable one.
My main critique is the condition of some greens. A few were unfortunately in poor repair with sizeable holes and areas of water logging which significantly affected the putting surface and overall experience.
In summary: A demanding and picturesque course best suited for players with some experience and a trolley. With attention to green maintenance, it would be excellent.
Hidden gem
First time I played here.
Absolutely loved it!
The greens were a bit patchy with some kind of weed. But they were really soft and the ball ran very well.
The actual course layout was absolutely stunning. One of the most picturesque courses you will play on. You have to plot your way around and not hit a driver on every par 4 .
The staff were friendly and the guinness was great 👍
A real hidden gem.
I Will be returning next week to play it again .
Friendly and relaxed
This almost feels like a family run course. Members are friendly. The course is challenging especially if you don’t play conservatively. Lots of hazards to catch wayward drives.
Tees and greens are not in good condition in places but then the green fees reflect this.
Enjoy the challenge but don’t expect a championship course.
Excellent value for money
Thoroughly enjoyable layout, you get a great value 18 with some decent variety in hole design
A Gem that needs a bit of care
It's a shame the greens seem neglected. It's a lovely course & very friendly. Apparently up for sale which might be why it's not so very well maintained at the moment.
Great Value
Considering the long dry spell course played well ,Greens in good nick ,very enjoyable,but buy a course map for £2.50 and pay at clubhouse £22.50 with a trolley for 18 holes .
Challenging course with some tight fairways. High rough in both sides.
Some greens could do with work but overall had a good few hours playing golf here at a good price
Great value for money, a good challenge for most golfers, greens generally goodbye some damage areas, bunkers need attention, staff amazing, great value for money.
Value for money
Nice and quiet, Tee times after 4 are only 12£ so really affordable golf. Yes the greens are not the best kept but fairways are decent. For 12£ you can’t complain.
Richmond Park GC
Friendly members. Friendly staff. Course in need of some TLC but didn't deter a lovely day. Could be be a great track but as I said a little touch up would be a fantastic challenge. Will be coming again soon. 28 notes ok value for money.
