Nice ...if not a little too similar
Really enjoyed the round at Purely Downs. Cracking start on a picturesque par 3. The course is not overly punishing, and if your scoring well then sometimes this distracts you from analysing the course itself.But having thought back I'd say how well maintained it was, (considering the awful golf conditions we're having), but I'd also say it was a touch same same for too many holes.
Would I go back - yes without doubt. A dull course well looked after is better than a interesting course that's unplayable.

Lovely course, some really interesting holes & great challenges & some excellent views back over London. The fairways’ recovering well from winter & rough was fair however, the greens had been heavily sanded & completely took the joy out of the day because we weren’t told when booking nor when we arrived. Very disappointing. Also plenty of work going on around the clubhouse so it’s going to be great when complete & I’ll be going back then.

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.
