Rickmansworth Golf Course - Championship

Looking at the scorecard - specifically, yardages, slope rating, and course rating - this seems to be a relatively simple and “easy” course. However, the layout and pin positions paint a very different picture. The greens were in excellent condition, especially considering the recent drought. They were quick, responsive, and well maintained. Additionally, while the course is “short”, it didn’t feel like it given the layout and hazards. I was very pleasantly surprised with this course, and would certainly return.

Same price for 18 as many 9 hole courses. A tricky shorter course where position is key. One of the best public courses to learn the game

Very enjoyable round of golf, other than the hard slopping fairways

Course needs work on tees and greens but weather has affected the layout. Good value for money though.

The course has hit rock bottom.

Tee boxes - no grass, just dust/mud

Greens - majority are diseased

Bunkers - not raked, filled with stones or GUR

Total disgrace of a course. Very sad to see its decline. Not worth £5. What a shame that Everyone Active, who manage the course have allowed this to happen under their watch.

Worst course I’ve played. Everything about it was below average. The course condition was a joke, loads of unfinished work all throughout the course. Greens were in terrible condition. The course layout is so bad and you’ve got so many par 3’s you can’t even see the flag on so you are guessing roughly as to where to hit the ball. Shocking price for the standard of course

Played Ricky many times, this is the worse I’ve seen this course in 10-15 years by a country mile. The course condition is like a dumping ground. Bunkers with lumps of concrete and stones everywhere (half out of play).

The greens are one of the worse greens I’ve ever seen on a golf course. There’s about 15/20 pin positions on each green which is alright if you’ve got a green keeper who can repair them efficiently not have them sticking an inch above the green. I’ve attached pictures to show how poor the greens have been maintained if you could even call it that. One of the hole cuts is on the fringe where it wouldn’t even be possible to have a hole so who knows why it’s there.

Absolutely shocking conditions out there.

Tricky course but we enjoyed our round. It was a tad busy mid afternoon though. Paid via the Golf Now app which was £10 more than I could have paid through Everyone Golf, so it’s worth shopping about

Great course to play on. The greens were fast. A good challenging course.

Great little course and excellent value at £14 for a twilight round! Well worth checking out. Looking forward to playing it again soon.

Course was ok for £26 it is good value

Nice enough condition

We often go in winter
