Pound Ridge Golf Club

Always a beautiful golf course. Greens recently aerated so not at 100% but still great.

This course has a private feel to it, from the bag handlers to the players and the pristine condition of this bad boy. The difference is in the restaurant amenities but I didn't come to eat fois gras or play tennis.

The first hole is a challenging shortish & tight par four with a marsh pond behind the green. The greens are quick and undulating and you can ruin your round before you begin with a 7 on this short hole if you don't take the speed seriously. Anyway, it's pricey for a public course so make sure someone else is paying for you (and you lose some money to them).

Lots of hills and few flat lies. Rough is thick but fairways are relatively generous. Traps are plentiful but not overly punishing. Blind water can be a problem so study the layout before aiming.

Beautiful layout only issue was greens had not recovered fron Aeration. Should have been discounted for conditions.

Directly worth playing for hot deal or better. Wonderful course and layout. Many different tee locations and suggested tees for your handicap. Only thing is that the greens are still punched

Called and asked about aeration. Told it took place two weeks ago and green was running smooth. Played the course the following week. The ball was not straight and bouncing. $180 per round in the afternoon is way overpriced for aerated greens. Disappointed that they did not give me an honest answer on the phone. Also bar/restaurant was closed by the time we finished at 6pm on Friday. This is not a place for quick after round drink and lack of atmosphere. Don’t expect to entertain clients or friends after a round. Probably won’t be back.
