Awful experience
Chronologically, I started the day at the driving range, there were a variety of poor range balls and they were very much overpriced, if you pay for 25 balls, only 23 come out. I walked up to the driving range and it was effectively a field with very few targets (yardages on the post weren’t even accurate). The mats were rock solid and ‘stoney’ which I noticed caused damage to my irons. In addition, I couldn’t even hit driver because they don’t provide a rubber tee - you have to pay an extra £3 to borrow one. The chipping green was in poor condition, many divots taken out of the green and incredibly slow.Proceeding onto the course, the fairways looked like the rough and the greens were painfully slow. One of the positives is that the design of the course is relatively pleasant, it’s a real shame that it’s not maintained by the green keepers. After a tedious front 9, the ‘newly renovated’ half way house contained two vending machines that didn’t take cash and the machine didn’t register my / my partner’s contactless cards. The back 9 was equally disappointing, poor condition and slow bobbly greens.
After the round, we went into the clubhouse to have a drink and a small meal. The menu was simply appalling, overpriced and lacked a variety of healthy options. For instance, we ordered a bowl of chips (£3) to share, they were completely undercooked - we had a couple each and left them. I ordered bangers and mash (£10), the sausages were clearly of poor quality and the mash was mediocre. My wife ordered a Caesar salad (£9) and she thought it was very much ‘average’.
To conclude, this was a dreadful experience, we had high expectations from their social media platform images as well as the gallery on the Harleyford website however this was completely unrepresentative of the reality of the course. I’m very disappointed by the range, the condition of the course, the greens, the clubhouse menu (variety and pricing).
Before paying for green fees or range tokens at this club, I’d strongly recommend having a look around the place - in order to know the lifeless reality of the club before spending money.

Harleyford has been on a steady decline for 5 years. The course is well designed with beautiful scenery and some lovely holes. However, the condition of the course is appalling: the fairways and run in areas are full of holes and bare lies; the greens are bare and patchy; the rough is patchy; and there is no definition between fairway and semi rough. The greenkeepers and board need to have a proper look at the course and realise it is not up to scratch.

Good club but poor condition
We attended a charity golf day. The venue is well laid out with spacious bar and dining area and good changing rooms and showers. However the course was in poor condition with dry and bare patches on fairways and greens were inconsistent with different grasses causing poor travel and direction.Reviewer Rating

Overpriced poor condition golf course
Disappointed with this golf club, lovely layout but condition was very bad, patchy fairways and embarrassing greens. Very overpriced green fee for what should be a ‘pay and play’. Maybe worth £15 not £50. Field of a driving range.Reviewer Rating

Played 18/3/2015, got a good deal £20 through 'teeofftimes' but apart from a couple of stunning holes we thought the course was fairly uninspiring which let down some amazing greens. The club house was ok but didn't feel particularly welcome

Standards slipping
Despite the incredible amount of rainfall in August, I expected to still see good conditions at Harleyford... unfortunately the greens were all very bobbly and looked as though disease had taken over a number of them, and the fairways had a tinge of late autumn-ess to them with lots of dried mud, to the extent that I feel preferred lies should have been in play. The course itself is still a treat with few gimme holes and a great challenge, but the greens are what HGC is known for, and the greens are what's letting it down at the moment.Reviewer Rating

Poor fairways, excellent greens
Overall a superb facility , clubhouse etc, but as is the case with a lot of course without integral sprinkler systems the fairways are in a terrible condition and really a local rule for pick and place should be force. Without rain things are not gogin to improve. The greens are immaculate and overall a good course with a variety of interesting holesReviewer Rating

Nice course
Played here as part of a society day and a good day was had by all. I was expecting the course to be a bit better for the price to be honest. I have played better courses at a fraction of the cost but it was good for a one off. The greens were the most challenging I have ever played and was a serious leveller for all players (personally too challenging for may on my society day). Clubhouse, surroundings and staff were fantastic.Reviewer Rating

Hard to judge the course because it was one of the coldest days of the year. I was pleased that we weren't forced to use temporary greens, which I know a lot of clubs would have. Would love to play the course again when the weather is fine and the course isn't frozen solid. The round did take 5 hours though! There were some very slow 4 balls ahead of us that were letting nobody through. Would have liked to have seen this dealt with by marshall.

I was disappointed to be honest - had heard such great things about Harelyford. The front nine is fiddley and kind of odd in the way is is laid out, can't quite put my finger on it. That said the back nine is quite brilliant.
It was incredibly busy and took us some 5 hours to get around albeit on a sunny Saturday afternoon. It had a distinct "pay and play" feel about the place, again though the club is house is lovely (if lacking in atmosphere...) and modern. Staff are well meaning and preofessional so overall a mixed review.

Nice course near Marlow. Scruffy fairways in the summer are getting better and the greens are always beautifully true. Well laid out but all feels a little new so not too much soul to the place yet, although this willundoubtedly improve int he years to come.

Tight, tricky and a little dangerous
The whole layout is amazing and beautiful. The shop and clubhouse are amazing as is the oractice facilities.The course itself is a massive challenge if you've never played there before. There are a lot of dog legs and slopes on the fairways and a few blind tee shots but if you are playing well then you can score well but you'll need to think your way round. The fairways have had some work done so were a little rough in patches but the greens and the surrounds very top notch. The humps and bumps make you a bit weary on appraoch shots and the greens and true, fast and have slopes you never knew coul3d exist. Was a pleasure to play on greens like that.
Now to the dangerous bit a few of the greens and tees are very close and at some point acyually tee off over the previous green.
But as a whole I'd love to back when it is at it's best. Holes 7 and 10 are probably my best.

Nice course ; would like to play again
A interesting and quite challenging course, but with no water to worry about. Quite a few of the holes require thought, as they are either curved or dog legs, or downhill requiring a shot short to the green (or else you will run through). The Par 3's vary in difficulty (as they should) and the greens seemed pretty true and consistent (quite fast but not silly.) I played badly (blobbed the first, played the wrong ball on the second so blobbed that) and that's partly why I'd like to play again; knowing where you are going helps with club selection. Overall though a nice course, and a really interesting challenge with nice views. Clubhouse and Pro shop were welcoming..Reviewer Rating
