What the club says: Less than an hour from London you will find Surrey Downs Golf Club, set in the rolling Surrey Hills with spectacular views across The Downs. Peter Alliss was commissioned to design the course in keeping with the surroundings and he has produced a down land golf course which enhances the natural beauty of the hills.
The golf course is maintained to a very high standard with the greens being to USGA Specification. The downland setting normally provides a breeze which adds an alternative aspect to the challenging but very scenic rough with a particular feature being our large shared 9th and 18th green which is well protected by a large pond coming into play on both holes.
The course is challenging for golfers of all abilities with interestingly designed holes which require thought on course strategy over sheer length of hit and with this in mind it is a hugely enjoyable course which rewards good play.

Reviewed Dec 2 2019 by Nick - rated 4 out of 5 Lovely course !
I had never played 'Surrey Downs' previously but when the opportunity came along on a dry, bright November afternooon, I took the chance.Quite an open course and undulating as you would expect - this gave some great views. Some conditions underfoot were a little wet but, bearing in mind all the rain in the last month, it played well. The greens were excellent. and the sand in the bunkers nice and fluffy.
The course was not very busy and I was joined by a friendly member (Richard) from hole 9, which was very pleasant. This was handy as some of the holes are quite severe doglegs or require blind shots to the green.
Richard kept saying I should return in the summer, when the course will be better and I will certainly take his advice !

Reviewed Oct 28 2019 by Peter C - rated 4 out of 5 Impressed
As a professional turf manager I can judge the condition of a course with two hats on.Given the incredible amount of rain this part of the world has received in recent weeks I was impressed with all aspects of the course. The greens, with a couple of exceptions were true and at a stimp speed I would expect at this time of year. The fairways were drier than I was expecting and had very good grass coverage as were the tees with again a couple of exceptions.The rough was extremely punishing and very close to the fairways in places but that isn't necessarily a criticism. The only aspect of the course which was poor were the bunkers. Even given the wet conditions there was very little sand in places and that that was present was stony and a nightmare to play out of.
Pretty flat with some really challenging holes and some beautiful views to distract you from the gold if you aren't playing well.
I was lucky to be a guest of a member who knew the course lay out. There are a couple of places where signs pointing to the next tee should be in place.
My first time and I will definitely return given the opportunity.

Reviewed Aug 22 2019 by John - rated 2 out of 5 Course needs some work
We’d had a fair bit of rain in the days proceeding our visit, but the course was disappointing regardless. Greens had been heavily sanded and some hollow tined. Tee boxes weren’t in the greatest of shape either, and the bunkers were a joke. Barely a grain of sand in them, just a sprinkling with compacted mud underneath. Pace of play from the members 4 ball in front of us was horrendously slow. Some tough long rough ensured the course wasn’t too easy, which was good, but I wouldn’t be in a hurry to play it againCourse (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Jul 8 2019 by Calvin M - rated 2 out of 5 Extremely heavy rough
Not an easy course when the rough is so thick. You will be punished for average shots that are slightly off the fairway because your ball will be difficult to locate and you may take 2 (sometimes 3) shots to come out of the rough. Too many blind approaches with such a difficult rough makes this course not the most enjoyable.(Round played: Jul 2019 - Score: 100 Handicap: 18.6)

Reviewed Apr 23 2019 by Mike R - rated 1 out of 5 Course in poor condition having just been hollow tined and apparently not watered. Putting was pure chance. Fairways OK but rough was poor condition as were some of the tee boxes. Bunkers were unplayable with virtually no sand and hard as a rock. Clubhouse OK but no towels for a shower after 6-pm!!
Would not visit again.

Played here with a Society last Thursday.Course in poor to fair condition. Tee boxes badly scarred and uneven. Greens were shocking but had just been hollowtyned.
Bunkers were unplayable as rock hard and hadn’t seen a rake for ages.
Greens dry and hard and very undulating so precise shots impossible.
No towels provided as the facility was closed around 5/6pm.
Very disappointed. All the money spent on the clubhouse maybe?

So waste of time putting on greens, the fairways had not been cut and was in bad condition .. no holes where marked so had to ask other golfers where next tee was. Aslo wedding reception being held and drunk idiots driving buggies around 17th and 18th faiways screaming shouting while golfers on course.Very disappointed will not play there again.

Very nice location and upmarket arrival impression.Best to play in good weather as it is not really a winter course and was very boggy in places. Instead of charging £22.50 this should be reduced to reflect the conditions as it creates bad feeling. If I ran the course I would be clearing puddles from the course, not just collecting money!
A few good holes but I feel the course could have a lot more character via foliage given its location.

Reviewed Mar 14 2018 by Mike R - rated 4 out of 5 Friendly club, interesting course
Following a very wet winter, much of the course has stood up well to the weather. No temporary greens or tees and firm conditions once you get past the first 4 holes. Interesting layout - good tee shots are rewarded with short irons to the green on many holes. Very undulating greens; being on the right part of the green is essential.(Round played: Mar 2018 - Score: 74 Handicap: 3.7)
