Lovely surroundings, some lovely holes but some of the worst greens I have played this year!

Really don't know how this club is rated so highly, it must be due to the complex around the course. the course is very tired looking compared to many in the local area. Shot to my handicap on the old course and 2 under on the coronation

Tight layout and challenging; greens need work
The RAC Club is a a club that comes with some stature and has two courses to play. The Coronation course is shorter and very tight with some rather silly internal out of bounds regions. It is a fairly testing layout with very narrow fairways and heavily sloping greens. The Old course is by far better but both courses have poor greens. They look quite quick but were deathly slow when I played and were quite inconsistent in their overall pace.(Round played: Jul 2019 - Score: 76 Handicap: 3.3)

Lots of short par 4 holes
Greens in relatively poor condition
Course needs tidying up around bunkers
Facilities and hospitality excellent.

Course far improved
Good game yesterday and the course is playing well. Continued gripe though that there's no open half way house or roaming food/drink buggy. This would be welcomed by golfers and would be a good revenue stream too for the club. An occasional marshall would be useful too to encourage people to speed up play.Reviewer Rating

Open style rough penalises you for anything that strays off the short stuff. Greens a little slower and more bumpy than last time (probably all the rain we've had lately). Still didn't detract from what is a wonderful track to play.

On arrival you are in for a real treat.
The buildings are truly suberb but unfortunately once you have left the confines of the fantastic locker rooms it all goes down hill.
The course (old) is supposedly the better of the 2, but i have not played the Coronation so i cannot comment.
The lay out is far to up and back in places with fairways running parallel. This is understandable in an area where land is as expensive as Epsom but doesnt make for a great course.
The elevation changes are poorely managed with both blind up and down hill shots where there could be superb appetising aproaches and intersting tee shots.
The course was in excellent condition it has to be said, it is just a boring lay out.
I came away very dissapointed with the course and the money that we had paid for the green fee. However it isnt just about the course when you play here.
I would never put this course anywhere near the top 100 and i will not be going back to play again it when there are so many excellent courses in the area.
i just hope that other true reviewers have reviewed the course and not the surrondings !

Unfortunately the weather completely closed in and the Marshall advised curtailing the round after 9 holes as the greens were flooded. A challenging course but plenty of character. Fantastic club house.
