Green fees are £33, this is there own discount rate and does not include further reduction using open fairways.

The course was in superb condition(excellent tee boxes, greens lovely, really nice feel about the layout), was a members only course but now allow visitors(we were virtually the only ones on the course - played after lunch).

Course plays short off the yellows(5728 yrds), there are whites for members and Blacks for competition which would give the course a different outlook, the course is quite hilly with a few blind holes but for me who plays off 22 a very enjoyable course and for anyone else you would expect to play to your handicap here.

This is one I would call a little gem although one of our group was not so keen, different strokes for different folks I guess!!!

One thing I like about Woldingham golf club is despite the space they have to make an 18 hole golf club, I LIKE THE LAYOUT.

Driving into the club it looks very open, unchallenging, and boring, personal opionion, I like this course -- greens not in great nick(time of year I guess) can get boggie(what pay and play course doesn't) but I never got bored on any of the holes, greens surrounded by good positioned bunkers(plenty of them)

looking forward to my return

If you asked anyone who hasn't heard of Blue Mountain Golf Club, you would think this course sounds amazing " up in the mountains looking over deep blue ocean", a bit like Chelsfield Lakes, a golf course surrounded by beautiful lakes ---------- instead you couldn't be further from the truth with both.

So why is it Typical crown course, OK so i played here in a society, on the first tee the starter was saying to me that Blue Mountain are doing some deal at the moment £25 a month with all these benefits(to me he is a saleman wanting as many punters through the door a possible) I didnt know if he was offering me £25 a month to play there or for me to stump up £25 a month to play with there with 750(too many)keen members, like sunbury, traditions, chelsfield lakes these are just add on's that you wouldn't really rush back at these courses more than once to play unless you are part of the crown membership which includes these free rounds of golf as part of the benefits which attracts so many members(why on earth pyrford has to be on the scheme as doesn't need to be) now I know i cant speak for all crown courses but to me it is just a money making scheme that just want people through the door.

OK AS I SAY I CANT SPEAK FOR ALL CROWN COURSES BUT I HATE TIMESHARES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

Now a good man once said to me, you pay for what you get and if its sounds to get to be true it probably is, now I like to go to a club with a personal feel to it and i hate the word golf centre on any sign as your approching a GOLF CLUB.

The only good thing about Blue Mountain was the greens were in good condition, a tad slow but still pretty good, this is the only highlight, course boring, 1 good hole(8th), tee boxes poor and i would like to ask every member how they could get excited about putting there clubs in the boot of there car to drive here, I couldn't

Im starting to ask myself, am I anti crown ---------- YES

10 years ago I turned up in Tenerife with the lads searching for girls, booze and nightclubs!!!!!

Roll on time and now im with Mrs Slums looking for something more conservitive, relaxation, be in bed before Mid-night, no heavy hangovers!!!!!!

I had hired a car and had promised the wife a day round the shopping centres, however after checking out the 3rd golf club she knew I had other intentions.

While at Adeje Golf club I had got chatting to a couple of English guys out on the island who had played the other courses in the Area, I was assured that Adeje was the best of the bunch so I went to book my tee time in the club house for the following day.

100 euro included Unlimited golf, buggy, club hire(callaway) and buffet(superb) so I booked my tee time for 7.58.

I was on my own(hate playing golf on my tod) and didn't want to get into any 5 hour plus rounds so set off being 1st person out on the day.

1st hole uphill par 5(struggled to adapt to my new set of clubs) 9 recorded already on the scorecard, 2nd hole par 3 ------ flew in with a par, 3rd hole superb par 5 where drive was vital, 4th hole Amazing downhill par 4 where all you can see is the ocean for miles, my scorecard was already damaged so scoring well was not an option now and it was all about enjoying it.

Having just played the 4th, if the rest of the course was going to be this spectacular then i am in for a real treat, 5th was a great par 3 but after this the course did not excite me too much more, greens were in ok condition but still thought the package was very good value and by the 16th with no score to beat i was looking forward to the buffet that was included.

Buffet ususally 14 euro if you are not playing golf and this was superb along with a well deserved beer.

Final verdict on Adeje golf club, if i was back in Tenerife i wouldn't say it would be top of my list to go back, however i did enjoy my round and would still reccomend this to anyone, however remembering the lads quoting to me the day before i booked up "this is a fantastic course" -------------- i wouldnt quite go that far.

Played Slinfold golf club on one of our SCC TOUR golf societys, upon arrival you can see that it also offers a health club, gym and swimming pool so if this comes with your annual golf membership, -- then you have the use of excellent facilities, my only worry is that ive been told it can get very busy and i suspect it has a lot of members and ive never been one for overcrowded clubs.
Anyway Breakfast on arrival was superb, a full English so this was a good setup before we got down to the golf, the course was a good variety of holes, plays just over the 6000yds so not to long but challenging I would say, fairways in pretty good condition although a little dry, greens very patchy and was the most disapointing thing about the course.
Overall I will look forward to returning next year when the tour hopefully returns to play here.

Ok,

I used to play here about 6 years ago, had a few freebees so you can never complain at that however I did ----------------------- greens used to be terrible and I mean terrible(worst ive ever played on) which was enough to spoil the course ----- toooooo fast and just couldn't get any tempo on them.

Roll on 6 years, set up the same, range looks like a shed -- pro shop the same so I can see how this course may have struggled but looking on the brightside the greens have improved BIG TIME.

They have slightly altered the first two holes, have moved the tee box for the first hole which makes it slightly shorter, 2nd hole now a par 3 not a par 4 which makes the course about 300 yrds shorter.

One thing with Edenbridge golf club I mean Kent and Surrey golf club is that every hole offers something different, you cant take this course for granted - to shoot to your handicap is a good score so be prepered to use every club in the bag!!!

If this club spent some more money on the tee boxes and trimmed up round the edges this for me would be a very very good golf course.

Hats off to Edenbridgr for sorting out those greens.

I had big expectations of Surrey Downs GC, with its neighbouring rival golf club Kingswood next door I wanted big things.

Driving down the drive to the clubhouse you get the initial impression its open = which it is.

Pro shop very friendly and are now on thw 241golf scheme so at £15 a round this was a bargain.

I couldn't say that there are any spectacular holes but the layout was enjoyable, the right distance for Par 4's, and Par 5's which proberley explain the longer distance for par 3's.

The greens are superb and in immaculate condition, very fast which i had been told about before i had played.

£30 a round without the vouchers may have been a little too much but at £15 a round this is one of the best value round of golf that i have ever had.

hats off to Surrey Downs and I hope you don't get too much riff raff at your club -------- I know what your thinking ============ Snob ------------ i don't care.

Growing up as a kid, Leatherhead always had a reputation of being expensive to me, its taken me 32 years to play here and now i can say i have,
Over the last 5 months they have reconstructed all the tees on the back nine which are now in use,
Anyway booked a teetime through teeofftimes.co.uk for 14.00 and all went smooth, got to the pro shop to check in at 13.20 and was told we can go out whenever we were ready. Now to play before 14.00 was double the price so a result that we could still go out despite paying half the price to go out after 14.00(friendly pro shop).

OK pros - some really good holes, 3rd, 5th, 11th, 12th 13th, 14th(my fav) 15th and 17th, nice halfway hut, good tee boxes back 9, great facilities.

cons - Tee boxes on the front 9 need reconstructing, greens not in great condition, no short par 3's, some of the fairways very hard(could imagine gets boggy in the winter)

I have already penned in my diary my next visit and if they could sort out the tee boxes on the front nine this would be would be a very very tidy course.

I joined the GOLF MAGIC golf society at THE ADDINGTON back in january, so had been looking forward to this for a long time, it was £60 for 36 holes including lunch.
A week before the event i had been checking the weather forecast praying for the gods above to deliever some tropical sun, it wasn't meant to be.
Having played ADDINGTON PALACE last week it had me expecting BIG expectations.
The best part of the course is from holes 6 to 14, some spectacular layouts and holes you couldn't get bored with, The bridges you walk over to get to certain parts of the holes really make the course(if you have played here you will know what i mean).
The greens are in very good condition and are very difficult to read so you will need your putting shoes with you.
My only minor gripe, and this is minor is that i have played on better tee boxes and i felt some were a little overgrown or had too many divots in them(par 3's)
Can't wait till next year.

Have not played at Mannings Heath for about 5 years, Waterfall course now members only although used to be accepted on 2 - 1 offers.
I could not remember the course at all and was told that it can get very boggy after it has rained, THIS IS NOT AN UNDERSTATEMENT, i came off looking like i had just ran an assault course and we only had a nights rainfall(and not terrential) the previous night.
Still enjoyed it and would go back although not many spectacular holes(15th being my pick of the best.
Cant believe I FIVE, yes FIVE putted the 10th AAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Im looking to play as much cheap golf as i can this summer and at royal ashdown forest i was not left disappointed.
£20 a round or half that with 2 for 1 vouchers, the guy in the pro shop couldn't have been more helpfull.
The west course measures up to 5500 yards from the white tees(no yellow tees) with quite a few challenging holes(18th being my pick of the best), greens not in the best shape as you suspect most of the budget is spent on the prestige old course.

The course is only 5 mins away from my flat but has been about 5 years since I played here last.

Played here during Epsom Golf Clubs BIG THAW promotion of 9.95(usually £26)which expires at the end of feb.

Its one of those course that you either love or hate, not a long course(5300 yrds yellow tees) but has a lot of interesting holes, felt the course could do with a bit more attention(some of the greens in poor nick - unable to find some of the yellow tee markers on some holes)

Might be a good idea you have golf insurance before you play here as on a few of the holes you a
play run parallel to a busy road however gives you a bit more incentive to hit a decent shot if you haven't.

Would I come back and pay £26 - prob not - will have to wait till they run there next promotion.

This is one of my favourite course, no temp greens in the winter and no dreaded mats, lots of challenging holes with a real variety, 2-1 vouchers accepted so green fee is about £20 each. Very friendly club too.
