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.

A course with a lot of potential, but the council are trying to sell the course and are not spending any money on the up keep. Fairways and greens are pretty awful. The back 9 is very challenging and has some great finishing holes, a real shame they arent looking after it properly.

A very tricky course go off the fairway and forget about looking for your ball you will not find it. persevere through the first few holes and it becomes quite a nice course (for a public one) has a few issues with polluted water and possibly the environment agency need to have a look at what the close by industrial estates are pumping into the local streams! but for £15 a round a challenge the greens are poor and fairways not the best but as said for a public course that dog walkers and the local youth obviously frequent the green keeper is doing his best. could be a lot better but i would imagine that the local authority does not see this as high finance priority

played the course 3 times whilst working in London with the boss. We both have enjoyed playing the course mainly for its intresting doglegs and course layout I must admit that its not the best course to play on greens very slow,tees very rough and bunkers like childrens sandpits but its a good way of spending a few hours after work while working away from home.Good value for money.

Only redeeming holes are 13 and 14, and they are made to shine by the rest of them
