Richmond Park Golf Club

Had an enjoyable round of golf on a great course. The conditions were good and the course was kept well, although I can imagine it does get wet winter time. I have played lots of different courses throughout East Anglia and this is one of my favourites, so I’m not sure what these people who leave poor reviews are used to 🤷🏻‍♂️. It was my first time playing here and will certainly not be my last.

First Time playing here very good course and great value for money

Course was as I’d expect for a parkland course with lots of water hazards, very soft but totally playable.

Challenging course, tee to green but greens reasonably easy, many water hazards and the rough is very thick just off the fairways to the point I lost a few balls that should have been found.

Needs more next tee markers but I managed to find my way.

Some really nice holes on the course a few just after thoughts but October views of tree lined fairways were great.

All staff and other golfers friendly an enjoyable round.

Would play again.

Really happy with this course, I find this one a bit trickier than the others I play but that's what I like about it, bit more thought involved. Very enjoyable course.

The visit to Richmond Park Golf Club served the purposes intended for my wife and I. We stayed in the on-site accommodation and used our stay as an opportunity to visit different locations in Norfolk, such as Norwich and Sandringham. We knew we weren’t playing at The Belfry! The pace of play was great because very few people play there! It is such a pity, because there is potential to make this a much more attractive venue, but it is clear that the owners have a struggle on their hands to make this a viable, fully functioning, golf club. We wish them well.

I hadn't played at Richmond Park for several years. It was one of my favourite courses to play. I was a bit disappointed to see that the place has been unloved for a while.

Just turning up in the car park you can see the decline, with weeds everywhere and untrimmed hedges. The course looks like it's understaffed, as the rough has been allowed to grow in to a very punishing level. Especially along the sides of streams and ditches. The tee boxes, although they had been cut, were covered in weed. The fairways were in generally good condition and neatly cut. Some of the greens were in poor condition in places, but overall they were cut and ran smoothly.

The clubhouse also appears understaffed, with the bar staff also running the Pro shop.

All in all, this is still a lovely golf club. It's just in need of a bit of TLC to get it back to it's former glory.

We paid £18 each for a weekend round of golf. Good value for money in my opinion.

Course hadn’t been cut. Dead duck laying next to tee box. Greens cracked open and black. Tee boxes in awful condition. Awful sign postage to each tee box. Overall waste of a round and waste of money, wouldn’t recommend to anyone due to looking like I’d visited the course during a worldwide disaster in which every green keeper had been abducted.

Such a shame, course was always in lovely condition and a pleasure to play. Now it’s hard to find a course out there. Tees and greens not maintained, similar to a pitch and putt and the beach but probably even worse. No markers out anywhere, flag sticks are old and torn. Only good thing is it’s dead as no one wants to play. Hard to find a member of staff and it’s like a ghost town

You couldn’t tell the fairway from the rough. Tee boxes overgrown. Pro shop wasn’t open at 10am on a Sunday. Poor overall experience and won’t be returning.

Greens have seen better days, nice to see that the pin was in the best part of the green but large dead areas and large cracks not ideal. Great course layout but as a first time visitor a few signs for tee locations would have been appreciated or even a course map on the back of the scorecard would have helped

Played here a few times just recently, really relaxed vibe about the place, the heavy rough is brutal, and some of fairways tight. not very busy for a Saturday, so if not to bothered about immaculate greens and tee boxes, and just want a social fun round, you have nothing to lose.

Introducing my son playing on a full course, was good experience, I am a member elsewhere, but local to this course, i used to play it as part of a society. In them days it was very good. The rough is particularly challenging, and the three times we have played recently, they have cut that back quite a bit. Bunkers are generally compacted sand, and the greens look worse than they actually play. there was no staff on site or the bar was not open, so cannot comment on that aspect. but for what we paid and where we travelled from would recommend for a twilight round but keep your expectations low to moderate.

When we arrived for our prepaid tee everything was closed. The barman didn’t know where the first tee was. The course was in appalling condition we couldn’t find balls for daisies and badly cut grass. Most of the greens were moss and mud. No grass on greens. Daisies on tee boxes. No sand in bunkers. The course was empty as no one could find their balls. Would NOT recommend and sadly two of us had driven up from Essex to play.

WE NEED A REFUND

This course is one of the hardest I have played for a while. Very easy to lose a ball to the water or trees. The most annoying thing though is hitting a good fairway shot but still can’t locate the ball due to the cut grass left everywhere. The greens are mostly in a bad condition but playable. Didn’t see the staff as there was no staff around for half 9 tee time. Worth the time spent playing here, fair value for money.

I have played this course many times albeit some years ago. Tee boxes acceptable. Bunkers not raked grass and weeds plentiful, in very poor condition. Fairways some good some very bare no grass. 1st cut off the fairways 10” high to 18” high spent a fair amount of time trying to find my ball in the first cut. Greens totally gone no grass, plenty of dark coloured moss and bare patches everywhere. On years gone by this was a pristine golf course, what is going on.

Always lived playing here, is a lovely layout with good holes.

But sorry to say the course needs a lot of TLC, rough not been cut for a long time, greens and fairways in very poor condition.

Still had a godd time as was out with friends and the layout is good.

But won't be back while the course is in this type of neglect.

This course needs some TLC desperately. Although I appreciate that we’re coming out of winter the level of standing water and the conditions of the greens was very poor. Specifically the greens had more moss than grass and there was even liverwort present. To add a little insult to injury the mower went out before us and landed up churning up the fairway into mud.

The course layout wasn’t the best but it was alright and fair enough.

Staff weren’t present at our tee off time of 0850, and we told by a member that they normally arrive at 0900. Then I must ask why offer tee times to visitors before you’re due in?

Overall disappointing at the price point and to be honest not sure I would visit again.

Have played this course growing up and was always a lovely course in great condition with lots of people and busy clubhouse. Been here a couple of times over the winter and it’s honestly absolutely horrendous. No course up keep, fairways and greens like a ploughed field. Only good thing is the pace of play is great as no one else is playing. There for a mid morning tee off and only 4 cars in the car park. Struggle to find staff to sign in. I would recommend it to anyone when it’s back in its previous shape. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the current owners are bothered about the course up keep.
