Considering we had a loads of rain before we played, this course was near bone dry. Amazing drainage and superb greens. Nicely laid out and every hole is different. Plays pretty tough off the whites. Look forward to playing again.

Classy downland course - very enjoyable

This James Braid designed course has elements of some of his classic Scottish courses, playing fairly firm and fast even after a summer of rain. It is a tight course, bordered by thick trees and bushes so you need to be fairly straight off the tee but get the ball in play and you can probably score well. I was a bit wayward off the tee and was punished with lost balls. YOu can come off here feeling beaten up if not being sensible off the tee.
Greens needed a cut but they were very consistent and steady. Definitely a course I will rush back to play. I had never played before and made some poor decisions with choice of club off the tee. Don't expect to play lights out first time you play here but some course knowledge will help with repeat plays.

Nice course

First time visit to Banstead Downs and enjoyed it. Some fun holes, especially the two driveable short par 4s but overall I felt the course is a little featureless and layout is a bit repetitive. However, the conditioning was quite good, with good fairways and greens. The interest comes from some steep false fronted greens, undulating fairways and some deep bunkers attractively framed by thick rough. I can imagine it gets pretty fast and firm most summers as it was pretty firm still with all the rain this year. Tempted to say it's not the most challenging course but I did play my best golf in years, so probably not an entirely reliable viewpoint.

Nice pro shop, friendly enough atmosphere, fast paced round (midweek twilight), warm up nets and decent chipping and putting practice areas.

Crossing the road halfway round at rush hour was interesting to say the least!

Would return but plenty of other courses I want to try first. Good value at ?30 with a County card. Wouldn't pay ?50 though.

Course in good shape

Course is in good shape again following maintenance work post COVID. Greens fast and true and course well defined. Need to be accurate off the tee

Best this winter

Been playing a different course each week in the SE with a limited budget & this has been so the best. Fairways excellent. Greens the best. To get a degree of summer roll after the wettest Feb on record speaks volumes. Not surprised they had 2 Socs ahead of us though & shame this slowed us down enough to get the Kitchen Closed 2 minutes ago message but will def def go back. Young?s beer on tap too.

Played June 2019 - One of the best maintained courses I've played in a long while. Excellent greens, which is something I look for over anything else. Saves you more shots being the theory!
Really helpful staff in the pro shop. The course was a tiny bit same same on each hole and but very enjoyable none the less. Will return but £30 green fee a little steep for a quick return.
