tricky course wet and muddy at least it was open but prob should not have been as most others were closed, also noticed that a lot of the old staff we enjoyed meeting and chatting with on our last visit were not around a member told us a few had left or been laid off, not what you want to hear as they were the life and soul of the club, shame, obvs new manager and get golf think they know best, not always the way though .

Frosty and muddy and some greens uneven

Needed to get out there. Course was playable but there were plenty of muddy patches and hard greens that turned into watery graves. Greens not very even but not surprising given the conditions. On the whole playable but only just in some places.

Played here on a society day. Course was in reasonable condition given the recent wet weather. Was very misty in parts both at start and end which made for tricky scoring but pleased the club let us go out. Greens were decent and rolled well. Well looked after by the club both pre and post round and food was good.

A very charming, quirky little 18-hole course. I liked a lot how many of the holes rewarded accurate play (you can't just bash your way round the course) and for just £18 per player for a twilight fee this is incredible value for money. There were a number of bunkers that were overgrown but the greens were massively improved compared to the previous time I played here.

The best holes here for me at the 9th (a steeply downhill par 3 with great views), 14th (a pond means you have to be careful with your tee shot plus on a clear day you can see Central London) and 17th (a dogleg par 4 where your tee shot must be played over a steep valley)

Hello Stephen, Thank you for your review! As well as our twilight green fees we also offer a buggy blitz! 2 Players and a buggy from 2pm for £25 per person if you wish to come back with a playing partner! Our greenkeepers have done a lot of work on the greens and our little and often approach for maintenance has improved all greens! Look forward to welcoming you back again.

Fine track

After some heavy rain, fairways and greens need a cut. Slow greens but true. SOme tees show wear and tear and may need to be moved around buit on the whole a good conditioned golf course.

Reviewed May 28 2024

The course is not particularly long but a combination of tight holes, sloped fairways, unusual layout and tricky green positions make this an interesting and somewhat challenging course. Conditions were good, greens although didn't look quick were not slow and fair. Quite a lot of unrepaired pitch marls which was a shame. There are too many holes that either cross over or have to wait for greens to clear.

Hello Clive, Thank you for your review! We are growing up some longer rough areas around the course, this will benefit us by cutting the hours it takes to maintain roughs but also shapes holes and is has great ecological benefits to wild life. Hope to see you again soon!
