Wouldn’t play again
Over booked, took 3 and half hours to play 13 holes - ended up walking off. Had 4 groups on the same hole at one point. Fairways are terrible, like playing off a farm field.
Average course at best, avoid!
Took us over 3.5 hours to play 14 holes. 7 minute tee times so clearly not enough gaps. Fairways dreadful with lots of geese poo.
Good course
Greens were in good condition and fast and true. Fairways a little dry and unkept but overall a really good experience. Second time playing there and enjoyable challenge. Reasonably short so a good course for average golfer.
Park golf and slow!
You would be better off playing at your local park!
Fairways non existent, burnt , like playing on dried hay!
The holes are all over the place with people coming from all kind of directions was like a free for all at one point!
Greens were only acceptable part of the course and the only part of it that was actually green!
The shop, cafe, driving range and changing facilities all very good. Staff were excellent and very helpful.
How they get away with charging £50 is beyond me, the only good thing about this course is that it’s in Richmond!
Slow play - bad fairways
Good greens but fairways were pretty bad, difficult to play. Appreciate the course gets a lot of traffic - the club need to extend the gaps between tee times, as it often gets backed-up. Wouldn’t recommend if you want to play at a fair pace.
Not really worth it
Not worth £46. The conditions of the course were fine, but it took about 5.5 hours to get around, and the course was very same-same. All holes were basically the same.
Pleasantly surprised
I played a solo twilight round. Stuck behind a slow group but the course was in good condition, the rough was incredibly long and impossible to find wayward shots. Worth the twilight fee and will be back again.
Very Average
Not helped by recent weather (and extremely boggy with uncut fairways), however this is a very basic Golf course. Not necessarily easy due to some fairly long Par 4s but the holes lack imagination and are just very straight forward. I’m possibly biased or spoilt by playing better courses in Cambs/Beds regularly, however in comparison this isn’t value for £50 per round.
Positives were Greens rolled ok, staff friendly and they have compressed air to help remove the mud afterwards.
So many higher handicappers
Beware if you are a decent player. Won't be a quick round and the greens are average at best.
Not impressed
No distance markers other than 150 yard ones which were very difficult to spot and no distances to hazards shown on tee. Greens not bad but fairways could do with more work. Flag poles could stay more upright too. Overall found it to be quite a boring course. Better price at the course than teeofftimes offer!!
Very good course
Not too challenging if you play nice and easy and hit the fairways, but if you go into the rough you'll be in DEEP trouble, literally. Very easy to lose balls in the deep roughs here. Course is well maintained and not overly challenging, very few water amd sand hazards along the course. But very enjoyable for a mid-high handicap player like myself.
easy course close to london
nice and easy golf course lack of trees maybe
