What they say...

Links meets inland golf, but not a whiff of sea air, the course plays and feels like a seaside links. The course favours the lower handicap golfer.

Great back nine on this impressive course

June 10, 2024

This is a course to enjoy for the longer hitters – even the blue tees are 5,600 yards, and there are some tough carries off the tee. Well done to the club for keeping the carries to under 100 yards mostly, but where there is a slope, they will be daunting for many of us. But with that statement out of the way it’s an enjoyable course to play, especially the back nine where the front nine pattern of mostly long and straight gets varied a bit with some more strategic holes including my favourite, the 12th, a quirky little dogleg.

Visually, the emphasis is on the word ‘heath’. It’s fairly flat and when you cross the road after the first to the main part of the course you see this impressively vast area of land with trees and gorse dotted about, plus cute thatched, conical shelters. On a sunny day I imagine it’s quite stunning. You can hear the noise from the M25 as a constant drone, but you soon learn to ignore it.

One of my favourite things about this course is the greens complexes. They are large, rolling and often with lovely little chipping areas around the edge. The hazards are fairly placed and there is nearly always an accessible route to the green. It’s not impossible to score well here if you can hit the ball straight.

The course was in superb condition, the turf is so nice to hit from.

The minimal signage meant we teed off on the wrong tee for the 14th (the 14th tees for the Old and New course are in roughly the same place!) but apart from that we had a very enjoyable round of golf.
