Stockley Park Golf

Arrived to be met by a couple of surly girls in reception.

Headed for the first tee which required a 200 yard walk through a construction site. After the effort we were rewarded by a mat as a tee box for a nasty little 110 yard hole. Looks like this is a temporary arrangement while they build a new 1st hole next to it. The next hole was another 2-300 yard walk over a motorway bridge which of course we had to recross later in the round.

Most holes required a fairly lengthy walk from green to the next tee so if you like walking a golf course this is not the one to play. Greens were lumpy and random to putt on. Fairways and tee boxes were also poor quality.

Amenities at the "club house" are negligible. A few chairs and tables and a nasty bar (served by the aforementioned surly women. The course itself is nestled in amongst a series of unpleasant roads and roundabouts near Heathrow airport and the clubhouse is a sort of concrete lump.

On the plus side, it was cheap but that still did not make it good value for money.

With decent management, completion of the new first hole, decent greenkeeping, and summer weather, it is possible that this course would be worth playing as the basic layout is fine. Currently it has none of the above.

If you are planning on playing this course, you are better off driving to Heathrow and trying to play on the runway as I'm sure that the airport security staff will be more inviting and friendly that the staff at Stockley Park. Course was in poor condition and the first hole is a construction site. The only glimmer of hope for this course was the good breakfast!

I'm glad to say most of the grass under the trees have been cleared making it so much quicker to find your ball. How much does sand cost? Come on, its poor and looks cheap when courses don't put sand in bunkers. It will get a higher score for course layout when you open up the new 1st hole. Which at the moment is a joke.

An excellent round of golf. Played this course a few times now and this was the best I've seen it. The fairways were immaculate, greens all ran true, the only negative was the bunkers, please put more sand into them as a lot of them were hard and stoney.

Hole 1 is still being renovated so there is a temporary par 3 playing of a mat, however all 17 other holes were prefect. The new hole 1 is opening in July 2017
