A challenging course if you are not familiar with it. Sloping fairways and hidden greens. In very good condition and good parking and service from the staff.

Classic old school course

This is a classic downlond course with views over London. Very hilly and undulating and it blew a 2-3 club wind when I played meaning some of the long par 4 holes played likepar 5s and the par 5s played like 4s. Absolutely superb condition and a nice varierty of holes. Tranquil and quiet when I played, apart from the sound of the wind, it is well worth a visit. Not a long course but the greens are tough and you have to be precise with your shots.

Links style golf inland

An inland course playing hard and fast with rolling hills and a breeze was as close as you will get to links golf inland. With stunning views of London and fast and true greens, Purley Downs is a great experience and a true test of golf.

Hadn't been here for a while but played with a friend who's a member. Course was in great nick and greens were super quick (esp given time of year) and rolled very well. Course itself it interesting in nature and some recent tree clearance has opened it up in a few places. Great challenge all round with several long par 4's despite not being that long overall. Had bacon sandwich pre round and some lunch once we were done, both of which were excellent.

epic course

all different types of holes ... long par 4s, short par 4s, tricky par 3s. Perhaps only missing piece is a long par 5, but it really didnt matter because the course is 10/10 in design, challenge etc. Also ... very well kept, greenkeepers are doing a great job with fairway maintenance, tee area. Greens are good speed. £35 rate after 1.30PM on week days is a really good deal.

Fantastic Condition

Middle of February, all greens in use and in amazing condition fro Autumn, never mind winter. Not particularly muddy. When other courses in the the area are either closed or quagmires, this course continues to be open and offering quality golf.
