Hugely disappointed
I had been looking forward to playing Effingham since winning a 4-ball voucher in a charity auction earlier this year. Nothing was as I anticipated.Making the tee booking was not easy due to very limited times for visitors.
On arrival the staff were indifferent and we were unable to find an unlocked door for the clubhouse or locker rooms.
Worst of all was the state of the greens. Very patchy and unplayable.
I won't be returning and neither will my guests

Great disappointment
I was really looking to play this great course again after many years, but what a disappointment!!! The greens were shocking... very bouncy and uneven making putting a real hit and hope. Very slow as wellFor a tip 100 course this is very poor value for money

Disappointing for the expensive green fee
Played at Effingham last weekDisappointed with the lack of welcome in the Pro Shop and didn’t think the October course conditions went close to justifying the green fee . Too Many bunkers and areas close to them on the back 9 were GUR and the greens were slower than many other courses we have played this month.
Not impressed for the green fee. Better value available elsewhere.
Shot 14 over Par .

I have played dozens of top courses both in UK and Europe and after reading the great write ups about Effingham I was disappointed.I played there at the end of April and it was average. Big wide open spaces with nothing really memorable. Hidden gem my arse.
Grand clubhouse, nice staff and good food.
I would go back for breakfast, but that’s it. There are numerous golf course in the area within a similar price range which are better.

Disappointing
I was expecting a lot from effingham and had been meaning to play it for a while. Pretty much every hole had GUR which was disappointing for the price of the green fee. Fairways weren’t in great nick but it has rained for 2 weeks. Tough to get a smile from any of the staff. Lukewarm is the best word I can think of to describe the experience. Won’t go back. Not in the same class as burhill for exampleReviewer Rating

OK course, unfriendly members on and off the course and odd atmosphere. Not worth the money and there are much better courses aroudn for less money. My friend went with a view to join but will not.

Loved front 9, back nine a bit cluttered - overall nice course but as a visitor a bit pricey for the level of the back nine

Wasn't sure what to expect but a little disappointed. This course hosts Open qualifiers in summer so you'd expect a top notch course. However, off the yellows in winter, this wasn't much of challenge, despite the strong winds. The fairways are quite wide and generous. The greens have been left to grow (I presume to protect them) so were very very slow and bobbly. Not great value at £40. Although the pro shop and clubhouse staff were very welcoming.

Effingham is a ?proper? golf club. Wood panelled walls and old world charm and tradition. Beautiful golf course. Great greens. They have a superb halfway hut as well. The staff were very friendly. I played with a member which made the fee much more reasonable than the standard visitor rate.

Lovely course. Played in a corporate society day there. Shocked by how empty the course was, we largely had it to ourselves. Made for an unpressurised round.

New Course at Walton Heath
The course is predominantly flat and at some places intertwines with the old course. It is a fair challenge for most categories of golfer. It is pretty essential to make sure you hit straight off the tee in that there is plenty of heather to catch the stray shot. Even If you can find your ball, it is then a difficult shot out. The fairways and greens were in very good condition and the greens were very consistent. The clubhouse is excellent and staff were as ever first class. An enjoyable round of golf if not always straightforward.Reviewer Rating
