From tee boxes to greens this course is in aweful condition. Such a great layout course too. It has got worse over time to the point now it\'s unplayable.

Can’t younderstand what has happened to the greens at Merrist Wood. Have played there many times and the wise I have ever seen them. I know we have had a very dry summer. But every green seem to have half a green that looked like it had received no water at all. Luckily we are Crown members and didn’t have to pay, but if I did would have been asking for my money back. Its a course we like to play but in its present state be surprised if it will recover this year. There were even cracks in some of the greensReviewer Rating

Really poorly maintained and awful pace of play
Really disappointing round on one of the hottest days of the year so far.- The fairways are a real mess. We were told they'd been cut 3 times in the week leading up to the Saturday - there there were piles of dead grass everywhere and the cut on the fairway made it feel like you were playing every shot from the rough.
- The rough, well, good luck finding your ball if you're even a few feet off the fairway. Terrible.
- Even the tee boxes were in awful condition with long grass coming up over your shoes.
- The greens were bobbly and the grass was clearly too long in most cases.
- The pace of play really topped it off and killed our game - 5hr 15 for us to get round as a 4 ball, waiting on pretty much every tee box.
Seemed a combination of letting too many people on the course and delays with people looking for balls in the overgrown rough.
The course layout is interesting enough, but the condition and pace of play was just appalling.

No fairways - grass was as long as the rough
I wonder if this might be a nice course in the summer, but unfortunately it was extremely wet which meant they hadn't been out to cut the fairways. There was therefore literally no difference between the fairways and rough and it made finding your ball after a decent drive very tough.Reviewer Rating

Oh dear, where do I start. Played 18th November and there hadn\\\\\\\'t been a great deal of rain lately so I dread to think what this course is like during a wet period. Tees were no toot bad but could do with a cut. The fairways were shocking. Full of worm casts and flatted mud. Even though we had winter rules it was hard to find any grass without mud near it. The greens were very slow and patchy craters on them. They were however playable. It took me 14 holes to get used to the speed of the greens and to ignore minor breaks. Hit the ball straight and hard was order of the day. The rough was terrible with mud and leaves and no ball cleaning. I actually scored a respectable ( for the conditions ) 27 pts. I went in one bunker and there was a decent amount of sand in it but some bunkers looked pretty compacted sand. This course has a great layout with some fantastic holes and strategically place bunkers and hazards. Some long par 4s that test your skills. It may be fantastic come spring and summer but not a winter course. I would ring ahead and ask pro shop course condition before booking.

Booked a tee time at merrist wood ..and day before we played it rained called pro shop the morning of the game to see if the course was okay or in fact open ...!! Was informed it was ok ...We turned up tee off and walked down the first , it was a bog, up to are ankles in mud , (COURSE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSED) Walked off after 9 holes as it was impossible to play. Do not play this course if it's been raining.....!!

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.

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!Reviewer Rating

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.

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.

Course looked like it needed some TLC and not kept well. Rough areas were too long, bunkers looked like dirt rather than sand and greens were worn. Prices need to reflect course conditions.Reviewer Rating

Very disappointed
I've played Merrist Wood many times over the last ten or so years and was always impressed with the club and course.Unfortunately, I was shocked to see the state of the club and course when I arrived on Saturday. From when you arrive in the car park, usually well kept and tidy, the signs of neglect were obvious and this continued into the clubhouse and on to the course.
Still a great course but not very well kept at all. Untidy fairways and bunkers and long grass cuttings just left on the fairways and first cut. Even managed to lose a ball on the fairway?disappeared under the grass cuttings.
It's such a shame that such a good course have been let to slip like this
