Brentwood Golf Club

First time I’ve played at this course and definitely won’t be the last. Absolutely brilliant course. For winter, the course was in great shape with excellent greens.

Pace of play was very good and staff were friendly, highly recommended.

A relatively flat course - easy to walk and considering the current weather (cold/damp) was in pretty good condition. The greens were very good albeit one or two were being repaired. No temporary greens. Important to point out this course has winter tees (mats) on on all holes over the winter. The mats are very large and in great condition and this is did not hamper our play - even though not everybody likes using them!

A lovely course with a fair bit of water. Greens very fast even though bobbly due to being aerated recently. Burrows very hard to see.

Fairly undulating but not severely.

Sadly a very slow round well over 4 hours for a 2 ball. This was due too a 4 ball and 3 ball that didnt seem to know the call through etiquet. Sadly no course marshall to hurry them up. Played the 18th in near darkness.

Clubhouse although quite small was very nice.

Will definately go back when the days are longer

a good course to play the drainage on golf course really good and the weather was perfect enjoyable round of golf

Disappointed that this otherwise fantastic golf course does not stand up to current weather conditions.

Played a very slow round as a 2 ball and we followed a group of 12. Took 4 & 1/2 hours but it felt longer and the course marshall did not really do a great deal.

Not a great drainage course and so really disappointed, as it plays fantastic in the summer. Will be back again in the summer when the course is playing well again, but until then definitely avoid if it's been a wet spell, it struggles to cope with the rain, apart from the greens.

Paid £23 to play on a Sunday at 12.20. Pace was great as no one in front of me. For the money I would rate this as one of the best I’ve played in the area. Good layout, course requires thought to get round with a good score.for the time of year it was in good condition. The only down side was the green where running quick, this would be great if they where flat but they had just been spiked and where very bumpy so putting was difficult.

Really Challenging course for all levels of golfer

Course played well. Good lay out well designed holes but playable. First two quite easy then it gets more interesting. Have to be in the right place off the tee most of the time. Greens smooth but not fast.

Really enjoyed the course with some good testing holes. Will return for another round, as there are a couple of 'blind' holes which you'd play differently knowing the course. Some good looking holes as well.

Very friendly set up at the club and look forward to returning.

That was the first time I had played Brentwood GC and I thought it was excellent. The course is in excellent condition and the greens were perfect. It was a bit confusing at times to see what green you were playing but now I know so it will not be a problem. The course is suitable for all handicaps and I will certainly be back.

I like playing tjis course. It's got a bit of everything - hills, water, each hole is different. But it was totalky spoilt this time by very slow play in front of us. We did speak to a marshall about it but he just shrugged his shoulders and said what could he do? Well how about going to the offending groups and either moving them on a hole or two or making them let golfers play through.

Played this when the weather was dreadful, rained for the full 18 holes. Given the conditions the fairways and greens were in excellent condition and only towards the end of the round were puddles starting to form on the greens. Tight course so staying straight off the tee helps. The holes are challenging and given the size of the course some are really picturesque. Not one of those courses you turn up to, smash a driver and an iron then get out the putter. Will be back

2 of us played this course and both really enjoyed our rounds, the course is a thinking course, some par 4 and 5 I was teeing of with a long iron to avoid hazards further up.

The fairway and greens were in great condition, this course is highly recommended, we will definitely be going back

Mixed day of wet, dry and windy conditions and a very challenging course made this a tough round. Well protected by water, trees and strategic dog legs and out of bounds. However a fair test of golf with good quality but challenging and undulating greens and interesting design of holes. We will certainly play here again.

good all round course for all levels of golf, great value very good layout. well worth a visit.

Arrived an hour early and made use of the 19th hole Bacon Sandwich and Coffee were fresh, with the staff being friendly enough.

However, it went downhill very quickly from here.

Booked in at Pro Shop and was told as we got a cheap rate and they were busy they would be pairing us with someone else.

On way to first Tee I noticed a sign stating that Temporary Greens were being used on 2 holes due to Maintenance.

At the first Tee I, could not help to notice all the Tees are on Winter Mats (a bit odd as not seen them at any other course in the area and it has been really mild) also the fairways were all dry.

I Totally understand the need for maintenance and the need to protect the course, however I would have liked to of known this before booking. (I don’t like mats or Temp Greens and would have booked elsewhere had I known)

The course itself was not that bad to play although it was a bit of a conveyor belt at each Tee

On returning home I checked the club’s website and facebook page (I thought I must have missed the Temp Greens and Winter Mats Notification when I checked the course prior to booking)

Neither the Clubs Website or Facebook Page Mention Winter Mats and Temp Greens. It does mention they have moved some big trees (Facebook) The website does not look like it has been updated for a while.

I suggest that if you wish to play give the course a call and ask them what the condition of the course is prior to parting with your hard-earned cash (regardless of how much the green fee is)

Needless to say, I won’t be rushing back

We had shortlisted this course for our annual Pre Christmas works outing however on this showing it did not make the cut and we have booked elsewhere (5 miles away no mats no Temp Greens Better Rate)
