Reviewed Sep 17 2021 by Farnham - rated 2 out of 5 Hosted a friend whose (local) home course was hosting a Pro-Am on the day. Everything was going really well: booking, tee-time, pro-shop, practice facilities - and then we hit the course. The design itself is entertaining (notwithstanding the reputation for "a lot of water - and not only in the ponds"), but two major turn-offs. One: the greens were appalling, with almost every single putt subject to bobbles, bounces and unexpected deviations - in fact, an embarrassment. Two: It's a fair cop to drop a shot (or two) if one strays off the fairway, but to immediately lose a ball in badly cut and un-picked-up grass and debris almost every time is a bit much. My companion did not enjoy his round. With these two things fixed it would be a pleasure to host other friends.

Reviewed Sep 5 2021 by CEpps - rated 4 out of 5 Mr
Played on Sat 4 th Sept ( a two ball)??Paid £64 for 2 a round- buggy reduced to £15 as the greens were covered in this kind of sand manure , it was really bad in parts of the course ,as globules of thick mud & sand on the greens made it terrible( nearly impossible) for standard putting- it was really bad- when booking we were NOT made aware of this situation, we were only advised when the pro when we arrived at the pro shop-( a bit late to change). We should of received( I think) half price green fees re these appaling state of greens- why do they doing this green feeding just before a Saturdsy( and dry weather forecasted?
Plus we noticed( and missed out) the 12 hole - we missed the tea( where is it)???????

Reviewed Aug 25 2021 by Shooter McGavin - rated 4 out of 5 Now better than ever - will definitely play again
It had been 25 years since I last played Blacknest, so naturally I was expecting the place to have changed. And changed it had. The 18 hole course has matured nicely over the years, the fairways were very good and the greens were as slick as they ever were. The overall layout of the course and its surroundings makes for a throughly enjoyable round of golf (regardless of golfing ability).All of the staff that I interacted with were very pleasant, and I'd like to think that I will be returning to play here again very soon. As given the price, Blacknest is very good value for money.
The only part of the experience that prevents me from giving a full on 5 star review was the driving range. I wasnt expecting Top Tracer or anything like that, just some semi decent balls would have been nice.
But overall, if you can, go and play Blacknest.

Reviewed Jun 8 2021 by Guy, Farnham - rated 3 out of 5 very friendly, poor greens
I really love Blacknest, it is a friendly club with great facilities, so I am reluctant to be negative, but the last two times I have played the course, I have been really disappointed with the greens. The ball jumps about so much and moves off line, it is so hard to make any significant putts. It is such a shame as the course is in otherwise great condition. If the greens were sorted, it would be a great course.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Jun 2 2021 by Ade/Farnham - rated 4 out of 5 Good course, great value
Played a nine hole twilight round, and Blacknest offers great for money - particularly at a time when other clubs seem to have raised prices locally. No idea what it’s like I’m winter but in the dry the course is in good condition, greens are looking good for the most part and the fairways are bouncy. Pays to avoid the rough as it’s unforgiving in places and the water hazards are a challenge. Really good experience overall and I’ll be back.Course (layout/challlenge)

Managed 18 holes and totally dodged the bad weather, that came on 30 minutes after we finished. Greens had recently been hollow tined so not good, but the fairways were in excellent condition and we all thoroughly enjoyed the round. Restaurant staff really helpful, particularly Kim. We will visit again as soon as it stops raining.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Apr 27 2021 by Paul Compton - rated 2 out of 5 Dreadful! Fairways were poor even though you could pick and place, and as for the greens, absolutely abysmal. Needless to say will not be in a hurry to revisit. Perhaps if they spent less on the wedding venue and more on the course it might bring it up to average rating.

Very enjoyable day, staff were very friendly, my only gripe was I brought a pint of beer for my friend, I had a Shandy and was charged £4.50. Same price as a beer. A pint of Shandy should not be the same price. It is the little things that matter.Enjoyed the course.Coring at the moment.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Apr 22 2021 by George - rated 5 out of 5 A little gem...
From 2pm it is £15 to play this course and for that price you cannot complain. The greens were a bit off but that's because they were being treated and that's fair enough, shows the course gets looked after. The course is fairly laid out, me and my partner did get lost a couple of times with a local player having to tell us where to find the 16th tee. Overall it's a fun challenging course with great facilities. What more do you want.Course (layout/challlenge)

Blacknest is a really good course. We play as a group of high handicappers and the fairways off the tee give you every chance. There is water in play on several holes but in the majority of instances, you can play around any obstacles. Staff very customer friendly and environment welcoming.Course (layout/challlenge)
