Not very well kept, greens and tees terrible. Played 9 holes and that was enough as we asked for a refund due to the condition of the course. Still waiting for that call back from the "management".

Don't be fooled by the two sets of tees, if your thinking about it then think again!

A well presented course near to Dorking town. Some tucked away tee boxes make for some interesting angles, although the visitors car park on the left of the 1st/10th is precariously placed for shanked tee shots. The fairways and greens were well maintained although the layout that criss-crosses to fit into a fairly small patch of land, means that you can be waiting for other players to clear their hole at more than one place. The bar and veranda overlooking the 9th/18th is pleasant enough. Played this course with a special offer so worked out as very good value for money, but I'm unlikely to go back as a full paying customer

A nice little 9 hole course but a very strange set up for playing 18 holes. Arrived early (club shop was still closed at 7.45) and set off round the 'front' 9. Finished the 9th to be greeted by at least 3 matches waiting to go off the 1st (our 10th). It seems the tee times seemed to be overlapping which was going to end up with us backing up a fair bit. We did get round the first 9 fairly briskly so maybe we returned for the back 9 'early', but in the end we gave up and left after only going round once.
Some of the fairways and tee boxes criss cross a little meaning you may have to let others play through before taking your shot. The result i
s a course that could get very congested once a few matches are out. Having said that, some of the holes are a good test, and well laid out and the actual course is quite pretty and feels like an oasis and is nicely isolated. Glad we experienced it but wouldn't rush back

Small 9 hole parkland golf course situated not far from Dorking town centre .
Short in terms of yardage but tricky nonetheless. Greens are small and fast with well placed bunkers . Easy to run up a score with some tricky holes . Quite hilly so be warned

Challenging for beginners

Played 9holes. I'm a beginner and found the course to be a challenge. Greens were fast and some holes require you to be brave in your approach with some holes (hole 2). Thoroughly enjoyed playing here and course has some lovely views if you get any time to admire between plays. Not too busy and some good fairways to test your driving skills. It's compact but not too unforgiving.

Crazy

Crazy course, different levels, holes crossing over holes and balls landing everywhere. Hilly but scenic with some nice wildlife around the edges.
Personally frustrating and snapped my 9 iron.
A personal low, but priced well and for that reason I would play again.
Nice greens.

loved it. Hilly but a lot of fun.

okay.. not sure if we'd play again as had to play both front nine and back nine twice.. just from a different position on the teebox. Not too keen on this. However, the day was fun.

Played on a Sunday and found that after finishing our round at 1630, the bar was closed and couldn't enjoy a drink on the terrace. Friendly staff though.

Not bad

Interesting little course. 9 holes only and not much variety between most white and yellow tees though the course itself has quite a bit going on. It does cross over quite a bit though so if busy you're probably in for a slowish round. Friendly in the clubhouse and nice bbq after the round.
