Warley Park Golf Club - Childerditch Course

I would strongly recommend thinking twice with booking any kind of society or social event with this club. I had booked a charity event with the clubs sales manager. Due to unforeseen circumstances many of the players attending couldn't make the upcoming date. Instead of helping us reschedule, proceeded in telling me their are taking the £100.00 deposit (which is straight out of the charity funds).

Very mean spirited and completely the opposite of what I would expect from a prestigious golf club. I can only imagine this kind of behaviour reverberates around the entire club itself. If this is how they behave when assisting with a charity fundraiser, I dread to think what they would be like with just a regular society day or stag golf day.

We will now be moving the event to a more welcoming venue and hopefully this review helps future enquiries think twice apart parting with their money.

Upon arrival we were informed the main course front 9 is under construction. Played the Chidderich 9, is an extended par3, with slow play and awful tee boxes.

Back 9 is tight and limited.

Disappointed as was excited for hitting over water.

Not worth the money for this combination of holes

To improve this course, signage to the next hole, better tee boxes, informed of construction, better range balls, discounted rate for playing the different 9

This course is a bog. it was essentially unplayable. We nearly abandoned the match several times. To be fair it had re-opened after Lockdown and no doubt funds are an issue but the mud was not just bad it was utterly atrocious. There had been snow a few days earlier and heavy rain to be fair but the conditions were quite ridiculous. I needed wellington boots and not golf shoes and by the time I had finished i had evolved into an amphibian. They should never have opened without a warning about quite how boggy it was.

I didn’t realise when booking that you had to play 9 holes twice on this course. It’s a very hilly course so not for anybody with a lack of fitness unless you hired a buggy. The course was very dry and the fairways were poor but the greens were the worst I’ve seen.

The Childerditch 9 plus the front 9 of the "main " course makes a good combination. Childerditch is a good par 34 challenge in itself with changing elevations, mature trees, dog-legs, water hazards and well-placed bunkers. The front 9 par 36 of the main Warley Park course is well reviewed elsewhere. This is a really nice club with good clubhouse facilities and a driving range. Greens are playing much as they should in mid-summer but are more receptive given recent rain. Recoomended.

Great course, great staff. Fun yet challenging course, will definitely play agin.

Whole hearted recommendation.

Had a great day out at Warley Park and will definitely be back to try the other course. Proshop was really well stocked too which is great to see nowadays.

Made to feel welcome and well stocked pro-shop. Staff I spoke to seemed very friendly. Course in good condition considering time of year. Tricky but very enjoyable.
