What the club says: Designed by world famous course architect James Braid in 1904, Barnehurst was built within the grounds of the historic Barnehurst Manor House, of which remains are still integrated into the layout of several holes. Whilst being 9 holes, there are different tees for the front and back nine holes, making for an interesting round 18 hole round.

The fairways were in good condition but the tee boxes, greens and rough need some work especially the greens which were in pretty poor condition.

Chose the wrong day
The course was playable but very boggy which was a shame. Hopefully they will work on getting the course up to scratch when the wet weather finally takes a breakReviewer Rating

A short 9 hole course with a handful of tricky holes. Tee boxes a bit scrappy but otherwise, not bad condition. Friendly staff.

Always enjoy it at Barnehurst. Needs a bit of tidying up, greens are improving. Someone has stolen the sand from bunkers. Tee areas poor. For the price I am happy others probably won't be.Reviewer Rating

This is a newly opened course 9 holes but is getting there in terms of condition. The recent dry weather is making tees and fairways very dry but some greens were quite good but some are being repaired and not great, however it is improving

From bad to worse
Never been a great course but played today and its a disaster. No definiton between fairway and semi rough, and its a mud bath. Bunkers are a disgrace, no etiquette ftom anyone and no marshall to be seen. A dress code is required yet most people were in jeans and tracksuits.nowhere to clean your shoes. No one lets you play through.noone cares about the course clearly, its just a park with a few holes here and there. Tee markers are at front of every tee box, the mats are muddy and uneven. A crying shame and not worth the money.Reviewer Rating

It is a good beginners course
It is a good beginners course, and will definitely play there again. Greens are well maintained only problem some of the longer grass areas make it hard to find a ball.(Round played: Jun 2019 - Score: 96 Handicap: )

the course is still recovering from the hot summer , so it's still patchy , there are a lot of leaves on the course and losing balls on a good shot is highly likely .

This course has suffered recently partly due to bad weather but mainly due to lack of staff and management issues. However as a member I am sure that the attitude of the current on course management will b ring this course back to its former good condition.
