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.

Disappointing

Disappointing to see how a once superb golf course is falling apart. Greens and bunkers are in real need of attention even considering the time of year. Fairways are reasonable but all over Course is struggling hence very low green fee
Bar was closed by the time we finished too so could not even have a drink afterwards

In need of some TLC

A potential Surrey “gem” unfortunately needing some major renovation which apparently is pending. Fine layout which clearly plays to its length - unfortunately fairways needed a cut, tee boxes reseeding, and distance markers required to bring it back to no doubt better times. Enjoyed, will return but only when the much needed improvements happen.

Good value

Good value at £30 for a weekend round but the drought has decimated the tee boxes and the course is struggling
Still a good experience though

Unfortunately the weather has taken its toll on the course, fairways and greens both not in great condition. Despite that, a challenging course which definitely tests you!

Parched

I like Merrist Wood and it is a good layout. Sadly the hot weather has absolutely couched the course. The fairways were bone dry, as you would expect but the tees were so dry, the grass had died and it was just dust on several of them. The greens were bumpy and needed some attention.
There was little sand in the bunkers and the whole course felt neglected.
The kitchen was closed although there was some hot food available behind the bar and the pro shop was shut, with a small offering of balls and gloves in one corner of the bar.
It was a real shame to see the course and facilities like this. The staff were very friendly though, which was good.

Course has had very little maintenance, ballast for bunkers,scabby greens, fairways sparse and unpredictable, no kitchen, makeshift club shop is a pullout table and till. Staff okay considering what they have to work with. Subsequently found out site has been purchased for landfill. Avoid.

Quite difficult course but in very good nick apart from some bunkers being a bit short of sand. Very good value compared to others in the area.
