Best greens in East Surrey

Greens were brilliant. Course was interesting and a challenge, but a bit hilly. Overall, I would love to be a member, if they'll have me!

Reviewed Feb 6 2018

Great course in excellent condition despite being the middle of winter. Goes up and down and all around. Some of the par 4's are slightly unfair in that they have dips in the middle which means unless you bomb it a mile you will hit the fairway and roll back a considerable distance which then leaves you with a considerable shot up hill. But other than that it's a pleasure to play. Nice food both before and after round too and very friendly in clubhouse.

Great Course in Croydon

I have only played here once, in a 2 ball. It was a great little course, with some very tricky holes, but well worth a visit, I am sure you will come back again.

Lovely course, great views

Great course - tees, fairways and greens in great condition. Superb views over London from some the holes. Generally quite wide fairways - could probably do with a couple more trees and hazards, but overall a very enjoyable round.

Reviewed May 6 2017

Some long par 4s and challenging par 3 greens to hit. Possibly the dry spring meant the fairways were not cut as nicely as I've seen in the past but still some nice turf to play off and the greens were ok but not amazing. Spectacular long views across London. A pity visitors are only allowed on during weekdays as would be nice to give it a second try. Didn't go into the clubhouse so can't comment but pro shop welcoming.

Beautifully presented course with quality fast greens (not that easy to read) outstanding views across London skyline. Pro staff and bar staff very friendly and we were made to feel welcome. Will be considering applying for membership once I want to settle on one course. Not stuffy like some members clubs I've been to.

Interesting course with superb views of London. Course in excellent condition. Greens very fast and undulating, but very true. Long par 4s challenging for the shorter hitter.
Highly recommended.
