So slow
Lovely selection of holes, well maintained. Took 6 hours for a 2 ball which is ridiculous. 4 ball members and novices refused to either speed up or let our group and many others play through, got to know other groups of golfers rather well as we we’re queuing on every tee for about 10 minutes. Staff member on buggy tried to improve situation but to no avail. I would play again as course was challenging with water and dog legs but completely avoid weekends.
Late evening booking
Good course green grass a little long small green areas so expect them too be well maintained lack of recent rainfall has made them hard same for fairways fair price for the round unfortunately due too COVID didn’t get the chance too experience the clubhouse but it looked nice would play again
Pace of play was poor waited on every hole 4 hours 45 minutes is far too long
Zzzzzz
Slowest game of golf we have ever played. I understand it was busy but both the groups in front of us were taking multiple tee-shots on almost every hole.
SA Golf 12/4/21
Early season course condition good, pace of play good. Staff friendly, cost about right for 10.30 Tee Time. SA runs a loyalty scheme play 5 rounds get the 6th free,
Good day!
Having seen previous reviews about very slow play and overcrowding I was a bit concerned when I booked. Thankfully they now have a starter/course marshal and there were no queues at the first tee. We were a 2 ball and behind another 2 ball who were quite slow but kindly let us play through after 4 holes and there were no more hold ups for the rest of the round. There was nobody immediately behind us either. Course was in excellent condition with true slick greens and fairways cut nicely short. Only shame was due to Covid the clubhouse facilities were understandably not available. Overall though, a very enjoyable round and very good value.
Location ideal
First time playing here on 1/1/2021. great location close to the m25
Due to weather the course was bogy but understandable
But all round recommended
Very slow
The course was nice however we didn’t get to finish as we had to wait for over 30 minutes on the first tee due to slow pace of play and then again waiting at every hole. 3 and 4 balls going round when only supposed to be 2 due to guidelines, course seems to be unpoliced.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. As I'm sure you can appreciate, we have been extremely busy during the times we've been able to open over the last 12 months. We do our best to accommodate all golfers and there have been many new people take up this great sport during the pandemic.
We have followed the guidelines regarding restrictions throughout the pandemic, however unfortunately some individuals have felt that they were outside out the rules and have tried to play in 3/4 balls causing play to slow.
Our tee times have always been managed using the BRS system with all players registered and checked-in at their appropriate time. There were however times when we were just extremely busy and the play was slow. I'm pleased to say that the vast majority of players were just glad for the opportunity to be outside playing golf and were understanding of our efforts. Lets hope that this year brings some normality to our sport and lives in general. We'd love to welcome you back to experience the club/course now that we are moving forward from the pandemic and can focus our efforts back on the course condition and service provided rather than the constant challenges and changes enforced in the last year .

Average at best
Course layout is good but the condition wasn’t great and on arrival there was 14 people waiting on the tee at 9.25 in morning. Clearly overbook the tees, we teed off half hour late and there was even more of a queue on tee after we eventually got off. Won’t be returning

Crowded and slow
Played here a bit but recently the rounds are taking around 4.5hrs and crowded, very slow play and have seen numerous groups walk off due to not being able to finish. Also don’t expect to tee off when you’ve booked for in my last 3 experiences a good 15-20 mins later. If you get frustrated by slow play/poor golf this isn’t the one.

Waiting
Second time playing this course, and sadly similar experience.
We had a tee time of 12.50 an 1pm
Wen we got to the first tee at 12.48 there was still 2 on the green. 2 ball on the fairway . 2 waiting to tee off an 14 deep of people waiting to play. ( last time we came it was 8 in front when we was due to tee off)
We rung the shop an was told it just people pushing in. But no one was out manning the 1st tee an the shop didn't seem to care either an we was advised to just try jump in somewhere ?
Because of the ridiclous long wait we only got 9 holes in an while walking back in near darkness the gates between some of the fields had been locked up so we had to jump over an go through ditches to get back.
It a shame as considering weather we had course was in ok nic an can imagine it lovely to play in summer.
Shame not run correctly with mammoth waits.
Shall be phoning for a partial refund

Mr Dean
Course was very frosty felt hard under foot but very soft once hitting a club through it.
Was slow considering all 2 balls when finishing at 1230pm was 5 groups of 2 balls waiting on 1st tee.
Be a nice course in better conditions but until it drys out I'll go elsewhere.
Thanks for your comments and review.
After a long rest and the better weather, the course is looking great and we are looking forward to reopening.
4 ball play will be very welcomed too as despite our efforts, unfortunately some individuals did not follow the rules and grouping did cause some slow play during the pandemic restrictions.
We do hope you'll come again now that we begin to return to some normality. Regards SAGC Team

Thanks for your comments. The course was wet in January due to the extreme weather but we did manage to stay open until forced closure due to lock-down. The course is now looking fantastic and we are looking forward to opening at the end of the month. We hope to see you soon.
