Hersham re-visited, very pleasantly surprised by. Improvements, maturity...
Well it was a very long time since I played this course, in fact before I joined this friendly on-line community that is TheSocialGolfer. I used to play a few times a year with a local golf society.
The course is short, but well laid out, well looked after, challenging, beautiful greens with interesting shapes/undulations, it has certainly matured well over the years. The holes described as plain by some previous reviewers have certainly filled up, yes they are more open but it will give you a chance to use the biggest clubs in the bag These holes (13 to 16) have some very pretty sights of the back of leafy Esher with wonderful big houses and a few fields for horses to graze and train. Sights you cannot possibly imagine if you are not golfing at Hersham Village.
The first 12 and last 2 holes are. well established parkland with good challenges including ponds with water fountain & ditches better avoided. Very pleasant indeed, the only nuisance at this autumnal time is the yellow & brown leaves on the side of the fairways making it pretty impossible to find your errand golf ball......
Warm reception and friendly staff all around.
Large Car Park and a Safari Park for children (no real animals though).
The Proshop has been relocated in the new building/extension of the left hand side of the original Clubhouse. A pleasant design including lots of natural light, a restaurant etc..... There are two large seating areas outside.
A chipping, putting area. A large driving range.
Well worth a visit, and reasonable rates from £19 to £22 weekday,
Can be tricky to find as it is tucked away at the end of very private late but GPSs will guide you there.
Will return but I imagine that it can be a "wettish" winter course.
THE END...
