Surrey Downs Golf Club

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….

Enjoyed the course and holes. Just a very wet, sludgy day. Will be back on a drier day as felt the course had lots of potential during a drier period.

Decent course in great Knick.

Couple of numpties in front of us slowing down the course but that’s the joy of weekend golf.

Teed off at 12:40 and was round in time for a pint before I got really dark.

This course was a delight to play, a great mix of holes. Punishing rough, some forgiving fairways and some great views on another day with better weather conditions I may have scored better but that doesn’t take away from this being a course I will not hesitate to visit again and again!

Course in average condition. A lot of bunkers out of play and FUR areas on some greens.

Most greens ok and running well but some just being hollow tyned. Spike marks so big it was nearly impossible to get balk near the hole.

Just about worth the £21 offer kn Golf Now.

The course has a good layout with lovely views. Unfortunately the rough is far too long, so if you stray off the fairway you've lost your ball. The greens were poor, obviously cut regularly but lots of bare patches with sand which makes the ball bobble. Don't look like they are watered either.

Played Surrey Downs yesterday, tee off 3.30, course played very well, Green had just been Holland tine, but they had done a good job. Great afternoon.

As soon as I drove up to the clubhouse, I noticed the greens were heavily top spread!I know this needs to be done but was not warned by Golf Now or Surrey Downs!Then we was told we had to play the front 9 twice, missing out on the Peter Alliss signature hole !Enjoyed the front 9 and will play again when the sand dunes have disappeared.Thought the price was to good to be true , same thing happened at North Downs last year lack of water on greens was the excuse!I am a half full person but please golf now don’t rip people off !

A lovely course in the middle of a stunning countryside

Really enjoyed the layout with some interesting holes to keep you thinking. Rough was up but only for very erratic shots so fair. The greens didn’t look good but play really well - quicker than you’d expect and slopes made them challenging. Some bunkers needed more sand. Played on a Friday afternoon and enjoyed good pace of play for front 9 but gave up on back 9 with 3 groups waiting on the tees which was a shame. Would come back again.

The course needs a bit of investment. The greens were a little bumpy and lumpy. The bunkers were unplayable and had a blue paint or whatever sprayed in them. Other than that it was okay. It's on my doorstep and for £30 midweek at 1.20pm it's not bad value.

Keep it on the fairway because if you even creep into the rough you will not find your ball. It's brutal!
