Stockley Park Golf

Managed to get a hot deal on this one luckily as I wouldn’t have paid £40 to play it. The fairways were patchy not great but playable. As for the greens omg hardly and green grass on them ,covered in dead grass and sand. Could be an amazing course if some attention paid to the greens

The course looked fantastic, best I’ve seen it in last 10 years.

They have done a lot of improvements over the winter months

Layout pleasant, staff v friendly, course not in great condition, tees greens bunkers etc. Greens very patchy and bumpy.

Good value for money. Course conditions are never great at SP but a very enjoyable round anyway.

We had fertiliser on the greens which was a bit annoying to putt over when I played yesterday

I played stockley a number of times over the years each time conditions got progressively worse to the point i took it off my playing list. Due to last minute cancellation I had time to play and stockley had times and reasonable prices. On booking my expectations were low.

On arriving I was pleasantly surprised the course was not as bad as I expected. The fairways were firm bar a few which were wet but for the time of year most courses would have a few wet fairways.

Greens were the major concern but they were running extremely fast. Faster than some summer greens I played before. Which made them tricky but enjoyable. The problem with the greens they have a moss disease which probably requires replacement and shutdown. There was a few holes in places. Pitch marks from lazy golfers.

Note some of holes have a good distance between not a problem for me but some might dislike to additional walk.

It’s a shame how the course conditions are as I love the course layout and it’s a fine course scoreable but still a test.

For the time of year it’s in reasonably good condition so I would advise to play it taking into account what I have said above to avoid being disappointed. The course well suited for new golfers and casual golfers.

I will return in the summer and hope they can keep it to good playing standard as for me it’s an enjoyable course layout.

Course conditions are poor like there no green keepers, massive holes on the green and some greens like had fires on them look burnt out there more grass in the bunkers than the course , u get held up by idiots that can't play game we got held up for like 1.5 hour before someone from course told the 3 ball in front let us through , I will never play this course again ever , and they want 32 pound for buggy aswell it a joke.

Walked off after 9 holes. Could not wait to finish. It was like a pitch and put in a a middle of a cow field. Holes and divots in the greens. Fairway the same. Worst course I have played on on.

Greens and fairways in good condition, tee boxes in mixed condition,

Heard they have new green keeper at the course, the fairways are ok but they have cut the grass and just left the grass on the fairway so you cant find your ball if it does into it,

Bunkers have massive rocks in them and it damaged one of our clubs.

The greens have holes in them, divots from people hitting on them. patchy grass and it bobbles like crazy ( you will not see a pick of any of their greens online because they are that poor.

its a shame because this has been poor for years and they spend money on renovating a bar over putting work into the course.

Dont waste your money

First time playing at Stockley Park during rainy week in winter. The fairways were not that soggy as expected and the greens still rolling quite well. I like the course layout overall with few doglegs making you think about club selections of the tee. Friendly staff at reception as well as on course. Will definitely come again when the weather is much better.

I don’t normally write reviews but after reading some of this course I thought I would.

Due to over night heavy rain this was the only course open in he area. The front 9 was a little wet as expected but the back 9 was good.

The greens I must say are not to bad for winter, they actually run pretty true.

Was it worth £30 maybe not. Was worth £30 when every other course was closed, I’d say yes.

Would I play the course again? Yes I would and will be back when the weather is a little dryer.

It does not deserve the bad reviews I seen on here unless it’s terrible in the summer.

Having had the previous 2 rounds cancelled due to weather (other courses), I went for Stockley Park as it does drain better than most.

Because of the weather (I'm assuming) the yellow Tees were moved upto the red tees, which made the course alot more easier, if I had known this would I have played ?

The course itself was very busy as there was a society playing who were very slow, luckily the marshals understood this and managed to fit us in so we played the course 5-18, then 1-4, I dont mind this, if the benefit is a 4 hour round and not a 5.5 hour round.

Overall, given the amount of rain the course was ok, no temp greens, infact greens played fast and true. There were a few leaves around (obviously due to it being late Autumn), which unfortunately meant I "lost" a couple of balls even though I was on the fairway !

Overall, £30 was probably about fair, given it was Sunday morning.

This once great course has been abandoned by the current management and grass cutters.

The bunkers have basically been abandoned, most are returning to nature with grass, bushes or trees growing in them. If you do end up in them, you will more than likely damage your club on the many stones - so much for their promise to make them better 2 years ago.

On a positive note, the fairway drainage and greens were good for this time of year (Nov), and the semi rough is not excessively deep (could be shorter).

Summary: Good for winter golf, but will avoid in summer until they start maintaining the courses correctly.

Got round without any big hold ups. Greens were pretty freshly cut. Fairways played nicely. Bunkers were very out of shape but I can get over that. Course layout really interesting. Lots of holes that offered different challenges. And for 25£ it was v good value. Would play again.

This course has a fantastic layout and really good holes. Unfortunately it’s such a shame that it is in very poor condition. Very patchy greens, fairway grass too long, but all bunkers are atrocious. With weeds and grass growing all over. You are actually allows to tee your ball in the bunker without penalty. Never heard of this before. Very sad condition for such a well designed layout. Staff said that condition is reflected in the lower price. But I’d really rather pay more, investment and some TLC badly needed.
