Banstead and underrated and pretty nice course inside the M25

Nicely laid out, very good facilities. Every hole was pleasant on the eye, its a strange one this course, because I cannot remember any signature holes, but is just felt fantastic playing it. I loved it, fairways were good, greens were fantastic, I am trying to play different courses before I get old, but I enjoyed this course so much I will be returning and playing it again this year and few times more. Deserves a much higher ranking than what it has.

Nice dry track!!

Played in a matchplay event at Banstead GC on the 29 December. A great little course which because it lies on chalk was considerably dry after the amount of rain we had previous days. Makes it a great course in the winter. Very challenging and some long holes to test you off the white tees.
Just need to be careful crossing the main road that directs the course . . You have to cross it twice.
Nice clubhouse and a good atmosphere in there.
Just a shame that they charged us £35.00 which both I and my playing partner along with our hosts felt was a bit steep. Normally you would expect a reduction or even courtesy for the match . . . If I host someone at my club and they get charged a green fee, I always pay half of it.
I would recommend playing Banstead as it dries out so well . . . . But wait until you can get a deal from a golf booking agency.
