Litter everywhere
Shame this pictesque course was mard by the presence of cans, wrappers, plastic glasses etc.
Rubbish everywhere
What a shame to have a picturesque course ruined by the discarded cans, cups and empty ball boxes. Not a rubbish bin on every hole......
Greens are in very good condition but nothing else is maintained. The fairway grass has been cut too short and now bare. There is no semi rough on any hole just fairway then jungle!
If you want to FIND balls this is the place, as they are easy to lose if veering off direction. It's difficult and tight but for an enjoyable game don't bother.
The litter is a disgrace to the owners! Get some bins, get some signs. Ok the public walk this area but are there warnings not to discard litter?
Not worth the £29, probably better value at Cottersmore, Ifield, or Rockwood!
Good again
Having played here on and off for the last 20odd years, it's good to see that the course is finally getting some tlc. Looking good.
Improving
A much improved course!
The greens on the back nine could do with additional care to have them match the greens on the front nine!
All in all though a good day out on a challenging course of narrow drives!
Awful maintenance
The course conditions were awful. Covered in mud where it appeared no grass cutting, leaf removal or general care and attention has been made for a significant amount of time. It made sense when we saw the two groundskeepers racing their buggies on the holes. There were 4 ‘temporary’ greens, which were simply a hole in the middle of the fairway - awful.
Beautiful Challenging Course
10/10 for greens/pace of play/beauty and difficulty. Thinking it’s short (by looking at overall yardage) would be foolish as it’s one of the tightest courses I have played. Wonderful challenge.
The greens were a receptive and electric and are some of the best I have played ever. Pure.
Surprised by some of the reviews below as this ranks up there in my opinion especially due to the beauty of the course.
Perhaps the course is now in better care, but I will for sure be returning and I must add the value makes it even better.
Enjoy!
Good course, slow play.
The course plays well. However, the pace of play was shocking. Stood over every ball and stood waiting on every tee waiting for people to clear 50 yards in front of the tee box.
Should not of been open.
Played here for 40 yrs and i have never seen the course in such poor condition.It should not of been open and has had 4 temporary greens for months.Staff are unfriendly and uninterested.Feels more like a leisure centre than a golf course clubhouse.
I would not recommend this golf course to anyone now,a great shame.
Not good anymore
Poor service,rude staff and should except cash as we are not a cashless society i will not renew membership till all above sorted,shame as have played there for 35 years
Nice course and what you would expect for the low green fee
Enjoyed playing here. The course is quite tight and a few challenging holes. Greens were in good condition but fairway def needed a water. For what we paid it was a good course.
Clubhouse and shop were very poor, it was pretty muted closed at 1pm and had almost nothing available to buy. Staff didn't seem sure what was going on and lots of tee time confusion.
Would def play again for £30.
Great course
Course was in great shape, clubhouse was great, range was very good and was great value for money,
Excellent
Very English GC a good test of golf
The course was unplayable
Arrived with trolleys and told -no trolleys! Walked or should I say splashed up the first fairway and persevered hoping the conditions underfoot would get better. Mud everywhere! Why they let us play, I have no idea. If our guest had not travelled so far to play with us, we would have given up after 3 holes. It was very slippery and flippers and goggles would have been appropriate. Very disappointed. I feel very sorry for the green keepers trying to fix up the mess. Oh and greens had just been aerated too!
Totally unfair review when you consider the amount of rainfall this year. When informed that you could not use trolley's you would imagine you would know it was very wet. Courses remain open as demand still exists but if you do not want to play in wet conditions ask for a refund, do not leave reviews like this one
