Played on a Sunday, course was in pretty good condition with greens that are better than many local courses, if you want a full breakfast then stop off at a cafe on route as the menu was very limited and quite expensive

tricky
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 .Reviewer Rating

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.Reviewer Rating

Beautiful Course
The course is over various valleys, so expect to be playing uphill, downhill & across slopes. It looks stunning and has great viewes out.It can be confusing as a first timer to know where to go next but fortunately everyone was very helpful in pointing us in the right directions.
The rough is fairly punishing we found - especially with the leaves making it hard to find your ball!
I cant wait to come back and play it again though.

Give it a go for sure!
This is a course worth playing without a doubt. There are a lot of negative reviews about the greens which is fair however, they are making a come back and it's still worth playing especially if you're a 2 putt player! Wonderful creative course to really test your skill! Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Give it a go.Reviewer Rating

North Downs is a wonderful course, not long, with well maintained fairways & superb greens. It's more of a challenge than at first realised two sides to the course giving wonderful views. The club house is a very pleasant place to eat well priced & good food. A 4 ball with a coffee, bacon sandwich after 7 holes. & a beer to finish with for £25 each is a fair price. Friendly golfers make North Downs Golf club a place to visit.

Sad how far it has fallen.
It seems the club do not close bookings once booked on the online booking system? I booked two tee times for a Saturday afternoon and the booking system gave the impression that the course was not particularly busy. However when we arrived it was absolutely solid. That in itself isn't an issue, it happens, but the course was flooded with people who were clearly not golfers. Youngsters wearing T Shirts and Football shorts, people hacking their way round with balls flying all over the place and we even saw a 5 ball and a 7 ball ahead, creating endless bottle necks. I have certainly never seen buggies with people drinking beer and wearing party hats before! We decided to walk off far from the end because the pace of play was extremely slow. It is such a shame as in recent years North Downs has been one of our favourite clubs and courses, but this was close to one of those council courses where people with no understanding of rules or etiquette show up on masse. If we had known how busy it was and that drinking parties were going on on the course we would have given it a swerve. Very disappointing how far the club seems to have fallen.Reviewer Rating

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.
