Bletchingley Golf Club

Rung Pro shop to ask if there was any winter tees or temp greens, reply I got was no and trolleys are allowed and buggies only on the paths,
On playing the course I was playing of some winter tees, the course is very soft so was muddy in places and the paths were even worse, bunkers need sorting out on the majority of the holes, greens were in good shape,
There is one serious flaw in this course and that is the pace of play, caught up with a four ball who said " can't go through as there is four other four balls in front" at no point from the 7th hole onwards did they make any attempt to let me pass, old man swindle hence why you aren't going through
For £30 is was not that bad but it could be a lot better if the course issues was sorted and the members spoken too,

In extremely wet and windy conditions we found the course excellent for a sociable round of golf.
We may have got absolutely soaked and at times found our lies in extremely boggy areas of the course, despite being the "best drained course around the area. It was our decision to book and play on 31st December, however, with sensible attitudes we moved balls to drier areas before we hit them (as wanted to protect the course a bit).
Greens played superb with subtle difficult, nuances, winter tees anyway which we were warned of before we booked. Fairways as good as they could possible be in the circumstances.
Nothing the club can do about the weather conditions and enjoyed it enough to come again, probably in the summer though.

For under £30 it was was a good value round. Note that all tee’s were from winter mats (good quality though), and there was one temporary green in play when I went.

Played on my own in about 2.45hrs, and only overtook one group as the course was empty (probably due to it being xmas eve). Winter rules were in play which was necessary due to quite patches of grass.

If you haven’t played here, probably worth a visit.

Course is in good condition for the time of year, especially after the drought of this summer. Conditions were a little soft and muddy which makes the par 5’s quite hard work! But a good and varied selection of different types of hole. Greens very good! And a well kept pint of beer at the end. Thank you very much,

Very slow play, course in poor condition not worth the £50 green fee.

we were blessed with the only rainy day on 2 months but the course was not in good condition. tee boxes and front of greens were basically mud.

Slow play, no policing.
Poor fairways and some greens impossible to putt on.
Miserable person on the check in desk
Just not enjoyable

I know it’s dry at the moment, and baked out fairways are to be expected….but this is the first course I’ve played to not water the tee boxes. They were of course hard as concrete and dry as sand. Almost unusable.

Bunkers had about 1cm of sand in on top of what felt like solid rock

Course was totally unkept. Litter all over the tee boxes. No grass on the fairways (just compacted earth - impossible to hit off). Every hole looked the same. Not an enjoyable round.

The dry weather is affecting all courses at present but Bletchingley is in a mess. Tee boxes are brown and uneven. Fairways burnt to a crisp. Greens overwatered and slow. Probably worth avoiding this course until next Spring.
