Cheshunt Park Golf Centre

I grew up in Cheshunt and played it as a kid most school holidays, it was always well kept thanks to Mr Standing and his great team of Greenkeepers.

I wasn’t expecting anything like those days as times move on and it’s about making money everywhere now and cramming people on courses, it was disappointing to see 2 mats on the front 9 and basically teeing off on wet slippery mud, the fairways were a bog and it wasn’t playable in my honest opinion.

Cheshunt remains a really nice public course and in terms of layout and surroundings but I would avoid it in the winter, I have no doubt it’s a strong 8/10 in the summer , but it’s a shocking experience in the month of December.

No excuse for any council to not have driving range standards mats on every hole and not just the 9th and rubber one on the 2nd.

Sort it out guys!

Too much traffic and not enough TLC on the tees.

Fairways are like rugby pitches

Off fairway- long grass and loads of leaves. You can’t find your ball

Couldn’t differentiate between fairway and rough, played here a few times before but this time was awful due to lack of maintenance to the course. The fairways were how you’d expect the rough to be. A disappointing round this time around.

Have to say playing yesterday was good value for money. I find this course pretty difficult (scored 81). It quite long but the holes are really varied and it's a good course to play. Greens were really good but the course was pretty wet and muddy (fairways and green fringes not brilliant). It was busy and pace of play wasn't far (but I was on my own so likely to be held up). For what I paid though, I'd def recommend you give this track a try - test yourself!

The course was sodden in areas, using awful temporary tee boxes! Also there were guys playing in jeans!?

Forward teeboxes because of winter conditions were muddy and mats were slippery.

Some of the fairways were quite muddy.

Enjoyed the layout and would like to play it again in drier conditions.

Nice surroundings, well maintained course and buggy tracks, good length, well marked and flat, making it comfortable for older players with trollies.

Having played here regularly since moving to the area in the summer, i found todays course poor. The tee boxes are in a terrible state, the fairways are covered in loose grass cuttings. The course etiquette seems forgotten. Old boys hitting ball 150yards max waiting at tee box till group ahead reach the green.

A little on the stupid side, making it a slow round

First time playing. Greens in bad condition with lots of worm casts and damage from birds. Course mediocre. Bar staff very friendly.

I came on Saturday, played on my own. Yes it was busy, but was very disappointed to not be called through by the 2 ball in front. From the 3rd hole i was waiting with them at each tee. I gave up at 9 holes as I had to be somewhere. Could've easily made 18 if allowed to play through.

Driving range for warm up.

Putting green for practice.

Pleasant staff.

I will be back for 18...when I have time.

Nice little course this. In good order. Range on site to warm up.

When it gets busy it gets very slow. 3 balls not calling anyone though and the like. Otherwise good.

We only managed 15 holes of our round. Actual tee off time was 30min later than booked because of a backlog on the 1st. Took 2.5hrs for front 9 holes! Course has a good variation of holes however greens were poor with lots of pitch marks and even some with divots. Other nearby courses much better value.

Played on a Saturday morning and expected the course to be busy but from the 2nd hole onwards our 2-ball got stuck behind (at least) 4 4-balls playing a match. The group in front of us weren’t too slow but we’re constantly being held up by the groups in front of them. At no stage did they even consider letting us play through. Nor were we warned of the matches in play at reception. That said, course was in good condition - greens and fairways very good; tee boxes could do with some attention though. Overall still enjoyable despite our 2-ball taking 4 1/2 hrs to get round.

Good interesting course with some difficult holes that will test most levels of golfers.

The fairways and greens were in very good condition but sometimes difficult to find your ball in the second cut. Bunkers need attention but overall would definitely recommend.

I have not played Cheshunt Park for many years but was pleased to find the course in good condition and has matured well in that intervening period. Fairways are tight, greens good and a relatively high degree of complexity, certainly interesting.
