Open, but why.

Don't get me wrong. Being open meant I could get a game in. However with all the rain lately the courses are still open with buggies and trolleys. The buggies are skidding on the fairways and cutting them up. All other course I have looked at are carry only. Must be the ???? sign.

Tee off at 12.45 on Saturday ?28 for the round, greens had been hollow tinned just over a week ago, which is fair enough ,but not cutting them isn't.They bared no resemblance to the practice putting green which had been cut. 3 tee boxes are not in use, so you tee off the fairway. ?28 play at 12.45 is a bit steep when virtually every other course in the area gets cheaper after 12pm when you couple that with the shabby condition of the course you are left with a feeling of being ripped off. After this experience myself and the rest of our 4 ball chose Toot Hill for our Sunday round: only ?25 teeing off after 12 beautiful greens, excellent fairways the whole course in pretty good nick. How golf should be and at an unbelievable price compared to Hainault

Awful condition

I have played both the upper and lower course numerous times over the past 15 years and have always felt both could do with a bit of TLC. Having played the lower course today (19th Aug), I can honestly say I’ve never seen the course in such a bad condition. The tee boxes bare and hacked to bits. The fairways unevenly grasses, covered in divots. The greens were bald, cut up and where there was grass, slow due to not being cut properly. The pace of play was ridiculous. Over 5 hours for a two ball. If your looking for somewhere to play... go spend your £29 elsewhere!

Don’t wast your money or time

Played it today first time for 4 months, the worst condition I have ever seen the course in 25 years.
A complete dump the greens have hardly any grass on them the t boxes are like a cabbage patch, staff are rude, don’t bother or waste your money. Such a shame they have ruined the courses

Greens were unfortunately pretty bad. Lots of sandy brown patches which you couldn't really putt properly on. Same for the tee boxes, looks like they are not spending as much on upkeep currently. Still enjoyable though.

Membership is disgusting

The owner is terrible. He has gotten rid of 7 day adult and senior memberships. He has also gotten rid of the junior membership. Subsequently, he has risen the 5 day membership prices by nearly £300. I would highly recommend that you do not purchase a membership until the owner comes back down to planet earth and realises the effect that he is having on people who play there on a regular basis.

There have been many changes of late. The attitude of some of the pro shop staff is very poor. The prices have gone up and the standard of the course has gone down considerably. Very sad when places like this one is privatised. The place also looks dirty and in need of decorating. The toilets smell and look dirty.

Played over here for a long time and honestly haven't seen It in worse condition than it is now. The pro shop staff are rude (barring one or two) and ignorant. The course is a fantastic layout but never seems to be in good condition. £29 a round at the weekend is scandalous and daylight robbery. Greens bobbly and not true. Holes cut at least an inch smaller than they should be. It's gone extremely downhill the past few years and I was suggest finding some where better to play your golf! The chinese is nice tho!
