An extremely happy, professional, and welcoming team in the pro-shop, on the course, and in the club-house. It's obvious the staff and members are proud and passionate about their course and want to share its success with anyone who is lucky enough to play. It's a real hidden gem and well worth a visit. The driving range facilities are excellent and the flexibility the club approaches its work with truly came out when my husband and I joined for just 7 weeks.

The course was absolutely perfect in every way. From the well-maintained fairways to the challenging but fair greens, every detail was thoughtfully designed to provide an exceptional golfing experience. The layout was both scenic and strategically interesting, keeping me engaged throughout the entire round. The staff was friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. I was thoroughly impressed and very satisfied with the experience. It’s a course I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch day of golf. I can't wait to return!

TBIS Society

Recently visited The Drift with the TBIS society with 24 players and the feedback we got from the group was how impressed they all were with not only the course but the hospitality we received. From start to finish The drift looked after us with a good breakfast, range balls, and even the half way house welcome from the gentleman inside that when above and beyond to make sure we all had a great day. The course was immaculate and beautiful at the same time, and will only get better once the work is completed on the 9th hole.

The TBIS would highly recommend The Drift, and Im sure we will be back very soon.

Excellent course

I've played the Drift many times and have never been disappointed. Although the weather was iffy and some construction works going on around the first tee, it was another thoroughly enjoyable outing.
The course was in great shape, as always and the service around the club superb

Reviewed Jun 7 2015


I was invited to Invitation Day recently after not having played the Drift for some eighteen months. As soon as I drove in through the gates the course looked fantastic, beautifully mowed and very inviting. I was not disappointed from the first-tee some minutes later. The tees, fairways and the greens were in excellent condition, though driving the ball straight is clearly a must when playing the Drift. Tree-lined and very pleasant to walk down with a great range of fauna and flora to catch the eye. An escape from the busy Surrey roads nearby in to a haven of peace and quiet. A great 18th hole to finish on as it falls down to the inviting clubhouse beyond. An excellent Pro-shop and very helpful staff combined with excellent food and beer in the clubhouse afterwards left with a strong desire to return and experience it all over again soon.

Played this course in a Society match, course management is strongly recommendedd when playing this beautiful golf course, easy to reach the greens if you hit the fairways, the greens were quite generous and true. Plenty opportunity to blob holes if you get too ambitious. Very good test for a mid handicap player.

The course is in fantastic condition and will provide a challenge to golfers of all abilities. Each hole provides its own challenge and the course really makes you think while you're going round. Be warned though, a straight drive is pretty much essential! Its great that there is a driving range as well and have the ability to warm up before the round. Very friendly club house and pro shop too. Would definitely recommend.

A really nice course. A narrow course so unless your drives are very straight it can be a little difficult, although not a ball loser course. Lovely layout and would definitely play again.
