Another five hour uncompleted round yesterday.

The management don't seem to understand the concept of staggered tee times, with everyone being told to turn up as the course is empty. Only to find a wait for the 1st tee and up to five groups playing or waiting to play the same hole.

The location is handy/easily accessible from London but when taking into account the over crowding, with a course and facilities which are average at best, I would advise playing elsewhere.

These are views shared by the staff at the course, who openly admit that nick and John (the managers) only care about money and packing as may people onto the course as possible.

Will never return!

Dear management,
Stop being so arrogant, stop being money driven, start caring about your customers and, above all, start following a tee-time booking system.

I played the course 4-5 times last year and never finished under 5 hours. I agreed to play with a friend and give you another chance this weekend, nothing has changed.

We walked off the course after 3 hours having played 8 holes. 20mins waiting on each tee box is ridiculous. At one point 5 groups were all playing the same hole.
This time I am never going back.

London course - Very Average

Not many courses in London as green space is highly sought after and quite a flat city. Course is fairly expensive in my opinion, especially for what it is. Can get a much better matained challengign course with water and elevation a further 20 min drive outside of London. But this place remains very popular due to being one of the only pay and play's in the area. Just don't expect much. Play was very slow too. Lots of people learning golf, which is great, but causes a long wait. Rough is thick and swallows golf balls. Lots of people looking for golf balls.

Average

Went for a 3 ball round yesterday and quite enjoyed it. It is muddy of course at this time of year and the fairways are more like fields. We only did 15 holes as we were behind two 3 balls who were excruciatingly slow....six shots to the green players. Having said that we had a good walk and I parred the 18th which always makes you leave with a smile. The Glendale staff have done a good job since taking over. Cheap, cheerful and unpretentious.

Overbooked and expensive

The course really really overpacked the course so that the rounds were taking nearly 5hrs with waiting at every single tee.

Difficult to give an objective view.

When golf courses suffered with the heat of last summer and the wet winter you are maybe not be playing many courses at the moment in the best of conditions. Richmond Park (Princes Course) was in that category. It was not helped, and this has to be done, by hollow tiling and top dressing on the greens.
However it is the time of the year when the fairways should be getting a decent mowing and tee boxes get tidied up. Sadly this seems at the moment to have been forgotten by the green keeping staff. I suppose to their defence with this course being so close to London it must get played during most of the daylight hours and makes this difficult.
Having said that I did play 4 shots under my handicap despite the 'sandy' greens.
To their credit the bunkers, although a bit stony were in good condition. I did seem to find quite a few during the round.
This is not a long course but you do have to do a bit of course management on the way round.
I was last out in a four ball in a society so we were playing at a pedestrian pace! Felt sorry for a two ball behind but pointless letting them through. Maybe they should have been paired up as a four ball.
The clubhouse does I am afraid to say borders on the 'functional'. Very much of the style of a service station also due to the high ceiling very noisy. However I was not there for a romantic dinner so it was fine.
Buggies very reasonably priced. Pleasant staff. Food was standard golf club fare.
If i could be bothered to drive 90 minutes again might like to play it in the summer to see it in better condition. However much better courses closer to home.

An enjoyable round even though the course still needs work after a dry summer.
