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
Slow and no Marshall ?
Due to COVID restrictions and only 2 balls being allowed you would of thought the pace of play would be better but No Marshall on the first tee meant we tee’d of around half hour later than we was supposed too. after finishing the first hole there was another group playing the second hole and a further 2 groups waiting to tee off before us. Meaning there was 4 groups on the second hole already.
By around the 4h or 5th hole we did see a Marshall, unfortunately he mentioned nothing about the pace of play and was only concerned with finding out if we was playing in a 4 ball as the group behind us was waiting with us on every tee also.
In the end we played 12 holes and walked back to the car park as day light was fading and we didn’t want to walk further away from the clubhouse. Very disappointed in this as we booked a 12:30 tee off and sunset was at about 4 so 3.5 hours should have been plenty of time to get round in a 2 ball.

Atrocious condition
Played here yesterday and after queueing to tee off was appalled how they would charge and let golfers on the course, mud mud and more mud, fairways, waterloged, greens all lumpy avoid at all costs, save your money
Thanks for your comment.
With most courses in the area closed during December, we did our best to stay open when possible. Our head green keeper checked the course (including the greens obviously) each morning and we implemented a carry only policy to enable golfers to play if possible. Lets face it, there was not much else you could do in tier 4 restrictions and most of our golfers were pleased to be able to play a few holes outside with one other companion.
Nonetheless, the better weather and enforced rest has now left the course in great condition so we'd love to welcome you back if and when COVID restrictions allow.

Unplayable condition....
The course layout was fine and the staff more than friendly . Unfortunately the course is so muddy and water logged it’s unplayable. I understand the club need the revenue but it was overbooked with 6 sets of 2 balls waiting on the tee behind us. It’s a shame as the layout is good, if the same amount of footfall continues the course will take months to recover. Maybe we will try again in the autum...

VERY slow play
This is a course which a friend and I have played a number of times before, however yesterday we became very frustrated with 2-balls in front of us who clearly had little care for any rules put in place. After a few holes, we could see at least three sets of 4-balls in front of us and this slowed up play to the point where it took us SIX HOURS to finish!! We weren’t impressed.

Winter golf in a pandemic
A warm welcome was followed by a 30 minute wait at the first tee which meant we were 20 mins late teeing off from our booked time.
The course was very wet, no temporary greens but the greens were average for the time of year.
The road noise from the M25 became very loud for three holes.
I would imagine in the summer the course would be much more pleasant, so these comments have to be taken in context with the time of the year.
Thank you for your comments and understanding. Given the situation over the last 12 months, it has been very challenging! We hope you will visit in better times and give us a better review.

Over an hour on the first tee
Course was in reasonable nick given the amount of rain we’ve had. But very disappointing to see they had tee times set just 5 minutes apart. We arrived at the first tee 5 minutes before we were due to go off and stood in a queue of 8 groups, meaning it took over 50 minutes to get away, and was slow for the few holes we managed to play before it got dark.
Very disappointing, and the 5 min tee times is clearly the course trying to grab as many green fees as they can, at the least this is against the spirit of what the tier 4 restrictions are set out to achieve, at worse you could argue outright dangerous.

Disgraceful
I am shocked that Golf Now keep this course on their lists, and the course itself is not the problem. On arrival at the 1st tee, there was a queue of at least 8 groups in front of us waiting to tee off. It seems they have overbooked and crammed everyone in like sardines. Aside from being a Covid danger, this made the pace of play glacial. We started half an hour after our booked time and played 9 holes in 3 hours and were then forced to walk in because of darkness. Honestly it was an awful experience. A shame really as the course seems very decent.
Having read some other recent reviews, this seems to be a recurring theme and something needs to be done about it

Overbooked
No organisation at all on the first tee. Queued for 25 minutes behind 4 other groups waiting to go so started way past my tee time and then the course was so crowded that I had to wait at least 10 minutes at every tee after that. I understand the need to make as much money as possible due to the virus but this was a joke. Only managed 9 holes in 3 hours and gave up.

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.
