What the club says: Banstead Downs is a downland course built on chalk. It has a reputation for being an "all year round" venue and rarely is the course unfit for play. The course has been designated an area of Special Scientific Interest because of the natural flora and fauna. The fairways have a natural undulation and good definition.

Reviewed Jun 5 2019 by Kenley - rated 4 out of 5 Rory Hillary
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.

Reviewed Apr 14 2019 by Simon T - rated 3 out of 5 Coming out of winter it's still a bit patchy but worth playing on the twilight rate. Can get a bit slow if there are matches on (got stuck behind 4 x 4 balls, wasn't let through so skipped ahead and played the 16 - 18 loop twice instead)

Greens fast but true. Provides a good challenge with the need to plot your way round the course. Played for ?30 which was reasonable but it's mostly ?40 or above which is a bit steep especially during the week.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed May 30 2017 by Ray M - rated 5 out of 5 Fantastic course with fast true greens - Classic James Braid design that appears easy but the greens have some severe slopes and can make you look foolish 
The only issue is having to cross the A217 (mad mile) - you need to be quick when crossing as the traffic really does motor along.....
