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.

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

I began playing this course many years ago. During the early nineties is was a lot busier than today.\It really has some fabulously designed holes. Many private courses with their boring straight and wide fairways really would not be in the same league as H.H. if someone could grab this place by the balls put some money into, adopt a proper management structure and build a clubhouse, this place would have a full membership in no time at all, especially considering the vast residential area surrounding the place. Coucellors whom have this place in their hands clearly are clueless to it\'s potential or are they running it down for other purposes? If I could purchase this place (which I could not afford) I would buy it tomorrow. Sadly the way it is going someone will lock the gates soon and the local dog walkers will have it to themselves- lucky people!
