Such a shame at a nice course

We've always liked playing this course in the summer, one of our favourites, but things have changed since the new quasar building has now opened.
Yes there's a nice new golf shop, but before you get there you have to park your car and if you haven't got the change for the machine, you have to phone a given number, give your bank details etc etc, not really what your expecting before you play, you do get your money back when you pay for you golf but who needs all this faffing around especially when there's 6 of you trying to do it at the same time ! The course hasn't changed it's still a good course. After the round if you and your fellow golfers would like some refreshments, well unless your a member then good luck with that idea! Determined to do so, we were directed to a small side widow where all the quasar customers were, just what golfers want, sitting amongst kids running around eating burgers, or we could have stood on the balcony without seats and looked at the members balcony with seats.

A very nice coarse with many different holes so you have to think about every shot.
It's a public coarse but in very good condition and a big improvement in the greens over the last few weeks.
At 21-00 quid on a Saturday morning it's fairly priced against other pay and play courses in the local area.

Good value for good conditions

We played on a Wednesday and very quiet, you can see the improvements they are making to the course and the green fee was excellent value for the condition of the course. The problem was when we had finished all 6 of us were not allowed in the bar, as there were no members present. So there were bar staff and no customers ... we are aged 50-60 and well behaved, they missed out on some money to pay the staff just standing around!!

Golf great but Socially terrible

It starts with changes to public car parking which was a real shambles and having to download an app and can't get through on the phone. Thankfully a kindly sole gave me their ticket so..next the golf (we play Hartswood about 8 times a year) course was good and receptive and challenging and enjoyable. Next post-round drinks, now visitors are locked out of a members area to be left with the screaming kids in the new soft play area. Going to a hatch behind the bar in the public area to find a kid serving who had no idea what a lager was or a cider (no training) terrible service. We were treated like lepers despite being regular non members disgusted. So angry and dissapointed.

So underrated

Compared to the other Brentwood courses the layout here is excellent. Tree lined fairways and picturesque greens on most holes. It's well kept and has a good mixture of holes. You have to plot your way around a bit as there are a lot of opportunities to get stuck in tree trouble but that just makes for the challenge. The practice facilities are poor but they're spending millions improving them over the next year or so. I'm excited to see how it ends up.

Good condition considering it is a public course.
Mature course and accurate tee shots are required to score well.
New clubhouse coming along nicely.

New Additions

Not been to Brentwood Golf Center for a few years,but they are implanting some new water features. That will make this course a more interesting and challenging course to play.
