Surrey Downs Golf Club

What should have been an enjoyable round of golf in the sun turned into a frustrating waste of time and money

We came off after 15 holes which had taken nearly 4.5 hours . When we got to the 16th there was a 4 ball on the green another waiting to tee off and a 3 ball behind them

It was obvious that a 10 min gap between tee times was not sufficient but cramping as many players into the day seemed to be the way

£24 hot deal on Golf Now. 2.50pm tee. Good fast greens, tough pins (day before Jubilee BH comps?), good nick. Good layout, pretty open, good views.

Sunny day helped, even had a beer on the Verandah (Doom Bar). All good.

Greens roll fast and true, beautiful and scenic golf course, could do with a bit more signage to identify holes.

Really rally nice course I will be back I did have a stormer and score 40 points bit I was putting like a machine.

Par 3 16th is a beast I hit 3 Wood and was still just short.

Would recommend to anyone

Nice and quiet. The rough is surprisingly vicious and we both lost balls we thought we would find. We were disappointed with the layout which was rather sprawling. We also found many of the holes rather samey. But condition was fine and the course really let you open your shoulders.

It's a good course. Almost feels linksy. Greens were pretty tricky which is great. The front nine was Def cared for more than the back nine. Would go back for a post work hack.

The best course I’ve ever played. It’s perfect, the layout is just right, challenging enough but if you’re off to a bad start then it’s not all lost. The views are beautiful. The fairways are lush and the rough is challenging but well maintained. The greens were pure and fast the first time I played but despite being heavily sanded this time they were still decent. Not one hole I didn’t enjoy. It’s the perfect course and definitely recommend

Course was not in the best condition due to a weeks worth of rain however we were well aware of this when we booked, absolutely not the fault of the club. Pace of play was not great however, a good 2/3 minute wait at every tee made for a very long round of golf, could maybe space out the tee times an extra 3-5 mins perhaps. Other than that it’s a lovely place with great staff and a very visitor-friendly club.

Got straight onto the course with no problems but wasn’t happy that Golf now/pass decided to pair me up with someone else. Luckily I got out on my own course condition was fair for time off year. I know it it improves here in the summer so will be going back as I live local. Greens were quite bad around the flags with foot prints again bunkers are poor fairways ok tee boxes average for this time off year.

Great course, friendly design. Greens are fast and undulating. Really good value for money.

We played in the winter. Fairways, light rough and greens were all churned up and in need of a cut.

The course was quite empty, but as soon as we set off, we immediately had a couple of pairs behind us who clearly knew the course and seemed to want to rush round. We sometimes found it difficult to find the next tee, which slowed us up a bit, but we still went round in 3hrs45, which I don't think is unreasonable. I didn't feel welcome as a first time visitor - though this is a comment about the other players rather than the staff, who were helpful.

Played here many times in the last ten years or so but this was my last time. Its in truly terrible condition with some fairways having not seen a mower for a while. Stone quarry bunkers persist. And the greens are a lucky dip. Easy to point the finger at time of year but I've played elsewhere recently and none have been anywhere near as bad as this. It was once a lovely course but those days are long gone.

The pace of play was horrendous, only managed to get 12 holes in before in got too late.

The holes I played were layed out OK. However, the greens were extremely bobbly and the fairways were long and very wet. I understand it is Mid-January so take this review with a pinch of salt.

Also, the bar lady was friendly, but needs to be taught how to make a proper coffee.

Two days before we played we had torrential downpours which waterlogged the fairways. To be fair there were no temps and the t boxes and greens were in pretty good condition. Had to carry the bag as of trolleys were allowed.

Will definitely play again once we have some better weather….
