played here in Sept 2022, on a very hot Friday morning. course was in in pretty good condition. Some of the fairways seemed to be overwatered, and like wise some greens and bunkers. It is very pleasing on the eye, Nothing too strenuous to overcome, although did lose a couple of balls from tee shots which were played into blind areas, yet had no idea once we got there to where the ball might have gone? gets a little shabby lookin gin places around the course, but the clubhouse is very nice. the last 3 - 4 holes are a real trek back to the club.

just got back from a September break out here. Its a good decent golf course, like others state, its been revamped, which did mean the GPS watches / Garmin's etc, all went wrong at either the start of the round or at hole 14. its in tip top condition and the green were pure and fast. very pleased and impressed. the only downside was that its a slog between green and tee. some of the walks to next tee took almost 5 mins of walking. its a buggy styled course it seems, yet they do not have the buggies to match the traffic throughput? playing in 30+ degrees heat is fun but not walking with a golf bag. Overall, i liked it a lot, as the desert style layout is far different to what you get here in blighty.

played here a couple of times, most recent at end of August 2022. its a nice resort course, holes are well thought out, and not too taxing to tackle. the hardest bit was the walk from green to tee. its like a track through the mountains sometimes, so a buggy would be better, but they charge £60! its pure cooperate hospitality golf and facilities. and the starter said they only have 80 members, and its probably off putting with the amount of societies they have attending, which leads to long rounds. 5 plus hours is normal.

never played either course so was very happy to get a round on the members only heritage course.to start, i must point out that we are in the middle of one of the driest spells in the UK at time of writing, so although this has had a major impact on the state of many courses, i am happy to say that the greens and tee boxes here are a very lush, deep green amongst a sea of brown swathes. Playing off the yellow tees, the course is not actually that long, but hazards are strategically placed at just the right distances it seems throughout to capture your shot. A couple of the par 5 are easily reachable in 2, but again, this may be due to the 60+ yards of run currently benefiting drives in the dry weather. its an impressive place, with impressive facilities and picture perfect course layout in my opinion. Highly enjoyable round, and looking forward to go back soon.

like other reviews, its closing for 2 yrs for a massive refurb, so just hope its not torn up completely? was lucky enough to play here on a sunny July day, and the course was amazing, the greens were superb, tee boxes immaculate. the hospitality was also top notch by the club. was made to feel very welcome. (though it was a work event, so they were no doubt getting a lot of money? lol)only hope for the future is that is available to access and play for others, without taking out another mortgage.

An amazing course and design. A true gem hidden so close to London. at £95 a round, its not cheap, but you will be blown away by the course. would highly recommend people try and play here.

(West Course) absolute picture of a course, completely ruined by poor condition.the pro shop stated pick and place as a few of the fairways were still a bit patchy. slight understatement! parts of the fairway were like bunkers they were that dusty. only saw one green keeper watering anything, and that was the first green, the place was barren. the greens at first seemed to just play fast, but on closer inspection you realise you are playing off of baked hard dirt, with a few patches of green thrown in. TBH i was gutted, as was so looking forward to playing, and like i said the scenery was fantastic. but at £40 a round here, it was a a major let down. hope the Old course fairs better, as they charge more than double to play on there.will maybe try again in the autumn (no earlier) or even next year, but there are better quality courses out there. even my local municipal has come out of lockdown looking lush, unlike this barren wasteland. real shame.
