Hounslow Heath Golf Challenge.
Unlike some golf course Hounslow Heath offers a quite different experience for all standards of golfer. The traditional course layout offers a challenging and rewarding round for anyone that understands how golf should be played. Equally it's open fairways are ideal for beginners.

Best value course on the planet! Unfortunately I've got to add all these unnecessary characters to reach the ridiculous minimum limit of fifty characters required by the designers!

At 5,901 yards from the white tees, the course has an interesting mix of holes, ranging from 159 yards to challenging 418 yards, and is an enjoyable test for all standards of golfer.The course is tight in nature and has water features on many of the holes. The course is well maintained and is undoubtably the best value for money in the area

Max/London rated 4 out of 5
Reviewed Apr 19 2014
Hounslow heath is not a private club, hence the fact it isn't managed well really at all. However, in my approximate 50 visits here, the course is truly perfect for anyone wanting a cheap round. Highlights are the 14th 15th and 16th hole which epitomises the beauty of Amen Corner, especially the 15th which has to be one of the best holes in West London. The front 9 is the harder 9, with very firm greens, especially the 9th, which any first timer will struggle with, in my.opinion the hardest hole on the course. Regular experiences are: the Japanese old guy (not Chinese as mentioned ignorantly below, I have spoken to him before) who plays 3 rounds a day...youths who for some unknown reason like to chill out on the greens...the slightly unusual man who loves selling his balls...a few Indian lads playing Kabadi on the middle of the 16th green...and of course your berry pickers. Dodgy elements include the awful sandtraps, the dampness of some greens especially the par 5 4th. Stereotypical ball hunters like myself will love this course, with a high abundance of Dunlop balls. The apparent obsession of good tee boxes in these reviews quite frankly are irrelevant to the course and aren't too bad anyway, yes inevitably a bit rough. The 10-13th holes are across the road on an almost mini 4 hole course and are the easiest on the course, especially with the recently developed drivable par 4 13th, a great feature. There is a huge pile of waste to the right of the 10th which is slightly disturbing and yes the course is wholly not up to scratch, but it sure is more worthwhile to play here than to pay £50 at other nearby clubs. Highly recommended. The dog legs prove a challenge, although being a short course, playing a long par 4 elsewhere becomes the hardest par ever...

This is quite a hard course for beginners as the fairways are quite narrow and surrounded by very thick bushes and shrubbery. Easy for a learner like me to lose balls ????. But it is cheap and the course is well maintained. The 'clubhouse' is a large hut with little amenities but friendly staff.

Very forgiving course for the high handicapper. General condition of the course is good however some of the greens could do with some attention.
Good value for money though.

I think it shameful that some of the more recent reviews have given this lovely old course such poor reviews. This course is facing closure solely because of an inept council who a few years ago decided to pay £110K a year to a "company" to run it, (and keep all green fees by the way) who the just basically took the money and did absolutely nothing in return - no investment, no equitpment, nothing whatsoever. Now the course is closing - this course is one of the most unusual in the London area, it is more similar to an old Scottish course, natural, hummocky and very basic! - In a way it is a result of a bygone age which had there been some decent support from someone could have been one of the most interesting, playable and testing course in London. And testing it is in places, 14/15 and 16 being 3 of the most difficult holes that I have necountered anywhere in the world! (and I have played many!), Sadly, it is probably too difficult for the modern "newcomer" to the game who wants to play a flat course with no rough, no trees and pampered greens and fairways. Hounslow Heath is none of that and it is just a despicable crying shame that this inept and uncaring council and the useless money grabbing company that was "hired" to run it is making it close - many should be ashamed that this tradition and TRUE golf course is being allowed to close

Excellent weather, if your a wayward player the rough is very heavy and it's quite noisy being so close to heathrow, my problem was some of the greens have been damaged by idiots and not repaired, the bunkers are awful and would need digging out and re doing.
There are no real facilities but this has some of the pretties holes I've come across in years.
Even with all its faults I would happily play this again now I've figured out where to go as there are no signs or course planners so I used Google earth to figure it out.

A challenging course with a good layout however it is in need of some TLC, a shame the council is selling it off as it has a lot of potential if it had a good revamp with a nee club house (doesn't accept cards fyi). For £10 during the weekdays though it is a good course with some good doglegs to practice your draws and fades
