What The Club Says
Merrist Golf Course is deemed one of Surrey's longest golf courses measuring just under 7,000 yards. When played from the back tees the golf course offers a stern challenge for the most accomplished of golfers. The forward tees also provide an excellent test for the lesser player. Water is a key hazard from both the tee and when approaching the greens. The 17th over water and the par 5 18th a fine finish to an excellent round.

Abysmal
The worst golf course I have ever played. In absolutely disgraceful condition. The greens were totally unplayable. The grass was stupidly long all over the course and it was covered in goose excrement. The whole place was a muddy and wet mess, but they can’t do a lot about how much it’s rained. Was £15 but even that low price was too much for this joke of a course. The car park was overgrown and looked like the place closed down years ago. It really should not be open and needs shutting down. Do not play here.Reviewer Rating

Popped in latish Saturday afternoon on a whim as hadn't played here in some years. Whilst seemingly good value at £15, sadly my review would echo all the comments made recently below. Essentially the course is in a major state of disrepair and borderline unplayable if you go off the fairway due to semi that's far too long still with cuttings left meaning you stand a very good chance of not being able to locate your ball. The greens are unputtable due to the moss etc that's been allowed to grow. All bunkers are also essentially GUR due to lack of sand and other plant growth within them though not indicated as such. It's a real shame as the layout itself is very good and with some time and effort being put into maintenance could be an excellent pay and play course. Whomever currently owns it needs to spend some cash though, because as it stands its simply not worth anyone playing it, even for practice.

Awful condition
Haven't played here in 4-5 years and unfortunately this club has been neglected to the point it now resembles a zombie apocalypse rather than a managed golf course. Even as you drive in the car park is now over run by weeds and overgrown, signs look neglected. Pro shop boarded up and you check in now around the back in what was the club house and a make shift office. The course itself is in awful condition. Tee boxes are mounds of overgrown grass with dry patches of dirt, fair ways are like a badly cut fringe elsewhere and rough is left to its own devices. Greens are scorched grass/mud, no true rolls at all. Sadly what once was a nice, affordable long open course has been left to become out of control and unenjoyable. I booked to play a cheap round with a newbie and we only played 7 holes before calling it a day. Only plus was friendly pro who checked us in and affordable price. BUT even for the price I wouldn't play again. My local pitch and put and school course is maintained to a higher standard. Sadly I feel its either commissioned to close or its future will be to close very soon.Reviewer Rating

Terrible condition
Played yesterday, played there a couple of times in recent years and always thought it was a reasonable course. In its current condition though it is unplayable.I was suspicious when I booked as it seemed too cheap for a Saturday morning round. The fairways were ok, needed to be trimmed as were like playing from the first cut. The light rough was covered in clippings which made it near on impossible to find your ball if you did stray just off the fairway. The greens were the real issue though as they were absolutely devoid of grass. The worst was the 11th that had deep gouges and craters all over the “green”.
It really seems like this course hasn’t had any real maintenance in months. The cost might seem cheap but in its current state absolutely avoid as it is still a total waste of time and money. We walked off after the 11th after 2hrs and 45 minutes even though the course appeared to be empty when we teed off
It really should be a decent course as the layout is interesting and the setting is lovely

Could be such a fantastic course, but not maintained. If you hit a fairway and find your ball, it's like playing out of 2nd cut rough. No sand in bunkers. Dandelions growing on greens. Don't bother.

Not that bad
We played here as our course was shut due to the rain. I’d read the reviews and didn’t have much hope.The bunkers and greens need some love and tlc as does the whole course but in terms of playability it’s really not that bad. It has some absolutely stunning holes and with the wind blowing it was a challenge.
It’s got some stunning long par 4’s, and challenging par 3’s.
If I was a millionaire I’d buy this course as it’s got the length and views, lakes, challenging bunkers, and great size greens. Yes it could be so much better but it was great fun all the same.
