My biggest problem with the course, among other things, there are no proper yardage markers, the teeboxes are in bad shape, greens need some work but I've seen worse. Cheap and good value for money. Definitely worth a visit as there are some nice holes here. With some more care and attention it could be so much more enjoyable.

Still council run and until that changes this course will not. Awful teeboxes, fairways very patchy in places and greens weren't the best but I've seen worse. Cheap and cheerful. Worth a visit as there are some decent holes here. With some more care and attention it could be so much more.

Very tight in places... and if you go astray you'd do well to find your ball. Was rock hard so landing the ball on the green was impossible with anything other than a wedge.

Not a very well maintained course. Local yobs find access to the course very easily and enjoy leaving burnt out cars and such like.
Will lose a few balls if not having a good day. Clubhouse is of below standard.
Rumour has it, it is under new management and will be hoping to see a few good changes.
Very reasonable price for general afternoon play, around 11 quid last time I played.

A bit disappointed with this course. Untidy in places, Lack off Tee markers what is there has been graffitied or burnt. And seems to be local dog walking location.

Horrible course, alot of thinking to be done. No tee boxes on alot of holes, no rakes in bunkers, no fairway yardage markers, flags are short making them look further away, if you don't hit straight forget it
DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE

A somewhat challenging course made almost unplayable due to the poor condition it's currently in...
Tee boxes were completely uneven and markers non existent, if it wasn't for the course guide on their website I wouldn't have had a clue where I was going.
The grass looks like it hasn't been cut in weeks, with the fairways resembling the rough and to make matters worse, being absolutely covered in white daisy flowers (good luck finding that white ball after a long sweet drive).
Bunkers just as bad as everything else on the approach - not a single rake in sight throughout the day sums up their condition.
I'm afraid the greens don't get any better, huge mud patches with no grass at all, holes everywhere and cracks going right across some of them.
This place could be a true gem, but unfortunately it has been neglected and hands down takes my award for the worst golf course I have ever played. Cheap, but sadly not cheerful.

This course is in very poor condition, the greens are cracked and have mud patches, the fairways need cutting. It's a shame as this is an interesting course particularly on the back 9

This really is a truly awful course. The only bright point is the £15 wknd fee but then you realise that it's a joke you play 15 to play a course in such dire condition. The greens had huge brown dry patches with massive cracks running through them. You'd get better greens at a pitch and putt. Fairways aren't looked after so no guarantee of good lie. I was having a bad round so maybe there is some element of sour grapes on my part but this honestly is the worst course I've ever played. One positive - you can pick blackberrys apples and plums in summer on the walk round. Othe than that, awful. Not playing here again

A real goat track. Avoid. Four of holes were closed due to "flooding" - i.e. puddles. The round was overpriced at 10 quid.

I am always a bit wary of poor reviews and I apologise to those who think golf at Hounslow Heath is fantastic, especially those in their formative years. I know I shouldn't want anyone blurring my fond memories. Unfortunately I have little good to say about it.
The clubhouse is a Portakabin with the warmth of the workhouse and decor to match. There was no guide to the course which made it very difficult for a first time visitor as the only holes in view from the tee are par 3s. Positioning drives was very difficult. Most pins were less than normal length which made which made distance control and reading undulations difficult. There were no rakes in bunkers, the tees were awful, there were no flat lies and any ball off the first cut of rough was lost, plain and simple.
During my adventure into the unknown I encountered a neanderthal selling golf balls and a Chinese man in meditation on the 7th tee. If he was praying for my welfare it simply didn't work! There was a dead magpie on the 13th green which must have been an omen. Had there been 2 I shouldn't have minded so much (1 for sorry, 2 for joy and so on.) Luckily I didn't have to move it. I'm sure that had I done so villagers would have emerged from the undergrowth with torches and pitchforks ready to burn me as an unbeliever who had defiled their sacrifice.
What really sums it up is the 14th (dog leg right.) You're not allowed to go for the green until you pass a post at about 175 yards. This is so you don't go over a gipsy site. Whatever your political persuasion or cut of your trousers you certainly swing to the left on that hole.
Having said all this, it was cheap if you don't count all the lost balls and the staff were very friendly, but I shan't be returning any time soon. Certainly not before the therapy to expunge the memory from my mind has been 100% successful.
