Poor course
Cant complain about the price as breakfast plus golf for less than £20 is good. Food is nice and bar staff friendly but course lets its self down big time. Greens very poor, flowers growing shows when they was last cut... You can miss a green by 5 yards and have a lie on a patch of mud which might swell be concrete.Reviewer Rating

Don’t play here
I played here Wednesday 18th July. Very disappointed in my visit. I had heard very good things about this golf course and was very excited to play here, but that soon changed after reaching the 1st green. The greens here are awful, they were long, patchy and very heavy. While the course layout is good and the course itself is enjoyable, the greens hugely spoil the experience. I regularly play at Cranham Golf Course, which as a lot of golfers will know is a short well maintained course and th greens are superb. While Cranham isn’t as challenging as Top Meadow, and the course layout isn’t as good, I would happily pay to play at Cranham rather than putt on top meadows shambles of greens.Reviewer Rating

Bit gutted
Played here on Sunday 22nd April and was really disappointed how bad the greens was.Considering the amount of rain we have had they was really dry and bobbly and really really slow.Also they all had been hollow lined so putting was a defo no-no.Will defo go back because I have played here before but I think I will leave it for a while until the greens are back to there original self,fast and trueReviewer Rating

Conditions were ok and playable for winter after a very wet spell. Greens were lumpy and slow, not great but understandable. Layout is a bit criss cross with some long walks between holes.

Good value society course
Found the course very samey, A par 5 that you cannot attack as the ditches prevent a driver from the tee.Some indexes are inaccurate due to length of par 4?s. ..overall good value for money but uninteresting overallc

Seeing as the course hasn’t been played on for 7 weeks I thought the condition of the course was poor . The fairways grass was too long and inconsistent and the greens are rubbish. Head grounds man needs to take a good look at himself
