What the club says: Many may be aware of the palace at Hampton Court but not necessarily its golf course. Within the grounds at Home Park, it offers a truly unique opportunity to play a traditional parkland course at one of the country’s most famous royal parks.
As golfers of ability, the new owners take great pride in the presentation of their courses. At 6,500 yards, the par 71 design meanders through hundreds of mature trees in a naturally free draining location.

When Get Golfing took over they said they were going to install irrigation to all of the fairways (they have installed holes 1 and 18 so far in 5/6 years). So....the grass on all of the fairways is scorched and burnt.Get Golfing have done so little to improve this golf course. It seems a lot of effort is put into events and the clubhouse...but sadly not the golf course.

A wildlife experience
Saw plenty of geese, rabbits, crows but it’s the hundreds of deer that make the course memorable. The greens are in excellent nick if slower than expected but that’s about it. A few trees, bunkers but otherwise a flat park course in a lovely setting. Prefer a course with greater variety of holes TBH but very glad to have played here once & definitely worth a trip.They also had no beer on tap & we cut our losses & found a pub instead.

Terrible condition
The course was in terrible condition. The greens were incredibly slow, some had very big patches. There were large portions of the fairways with no grass. Potholes on fairways. Very slow pace of play, waiting on every hole. The course itself is interesting and would be a good place to play if it was maintained to even a half decent standard. Lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery, you really forget you are in London. Cost £65 for the round but felt like a very poorly maintained municipal course. Certainly the worst value I’ve ever had from a green fee.Reviewer Rating

It is an interesting course with some challenges but spoilt by the poor state of greens and fairways.Very dry patches on the greens in places and several pot holes on the fairways causd by wildlife. Can't be hepled in some ways but not wonderful. Plenty of parking and a nice club house retaurant and very helpful staff

This golf course might well be open but it should not be - the front 9 especially is in a disgraceful condition. Many of the greens should be on temporaries or the course closed. Feels like Get Golfing have no regard for golfers or their course - still charging £50 per round when the course is dreadful. The club house is like a motorway service station and does not even look or feel like a golf club facility.Reviewer Rating

More interested in selling food and drink than a golfers' experience
This venue seems to be about the bar, club house and terrace and not the golfer's experience.Why have all the ball washers been removed?
Why have most of the bins been removed (with litter left where they used to be)?
Why are all of the flags the same colour?
Why is EVERYONE paired up?
Why is it so slow (5-6 hour round).
Answer - to maximise revenue and reduce costs. This company seem to have done the same to Pyfrord - minimise golfing costs and investing heavily in selling food and drink and a venue for anything that will bring money in.
Interestingly, Get Golfing are a "charity" but seem to take a lot of money out of the "charity" by selling food and drink at premium prices. A questionable business model which certainly does not seem to have the golfers experience at its core.

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!

Extremely slow. Bad value for money.
Tried to play a quick twighlight round after work as a two-ball. Got paired with another two-ball AFTER teeing off (starter told us after our tee-shots that we would have to wait for another pair). Course was full of groups that had been paired, so extremely slow four-ball pace the whole way around. Had to give up after 12 holes. At £45 for a twighlight round, this is not a good value golf course at the best of times but particularly not if there's only time to fit in 12 holes.Reviewer Rating

If you want a six hour round, it's perfect
Played yesterday- it took 6 hours. No Marshall. Everyone paired up and bunched together.There is seemingly no real interest in the golfer's experience here as the majority of times I have played it since it's been the same - paired up and a very long round.
Since new owners Get Golfing have taken over, this has become a venue with a golf course, not a golf club.
Extortionate prices for food and drink whilst out on the course (£3.30 for a small soft drink). Avoid!!

Pleasant all round
Very nice flat course where you need to be on the fairway! There were four temporary greens which did let it down and some bunkers that need work but everything else including clubhouse, food and welcome was very good. Shame it is too far away from me to play it other than now and againReviewer Rating

Drains well. Club House closed when finished round, lots of temporary greens, greens in terrible condition - looks like minimal amount of green keeping work. Seems a better place for a function than to enjoy a game of golf. Very expensive food and drink on course.

Great Changes
Love the changes that have been made recently as previously played in 2019 and it is so much better now. The clubhouse had a great atmosphere with music playing and good food, they even said I could bring my dog along to walk the course. Greens were incredibly quick and shows I need to work on my putting. Staff very friendly and Lelani really helped me out, nothing was too much to ask. Thank you and will be back soon.Reviewer Rating

Keeps on improving
Played 9 holes on Sunday evening a full week after club champs took place and the course was in really good condition. A couple of fairways will really benefit from the promised irrigation when it finally comes but far better than in years gone by. However the greens were by far the best I've ever seen them; firm, fast and true! Hopefully they'll stay that way for much more of the year going forward. New bunkers all over the course apart from a few holes not started or not quite finished, generally look good and play well but placement of them is a bit repetitive on a couple of holes for my liking. Hoping they'll improve the pitching and chipping area at some point too but the place is heading in the right direction.Reviewer Rating
