Stockley Park Golf

Nowhere near as bad as some of these reviews make it out to be. Yes you start on hole 10 rather than the 1st but doesn't affect your round at all. Fairways in places are marked off for GUR but again, it's all to make the course better in the warmer months. Greens were big and undulating which makes for a very enjoyable round, they were punched when we were playing which bobbled a bit but otherwise can see the good potential! Pace could have been better but as other reviews mention, it's the golfers that play there that won't let you play through. Some challenging holes and course knowledge will help on returning to play in the summer which we will definitely do!

Really nice challenging course which requires plenty of shot shaping left to right and right to left. Certainly a course you need to have played once to score well as some blind shots off the white tees. Course was in great condition for the time of year. The greens were good but had been aerated so putts weren’t running through but it’s winter golf. Really nice facilities with putting green and driving range. The club bar is welcoming and a place you could easily spend a few hours in. Had the Cajun chicken sandwich would recommend.

The disadvantage is the course layout and signage. Speaking with the club starter the course is going through a restructure of the layout. So the first hole is now the tenth. Due to this the club have removed hole signage from a number of holes (but not all) which leads to confusion of the next hole as the course layout is not a flowing layout. Place of play was slow but more the golfers playing than the courses fault.

Overall a great course which I will be playing again and would advise any golfer to try it out.

Stockely Park was very overcrowded on Sunday 23 Jan 22.

After a request to start on the back nine, presumably to relieve congestion. the pace of play was incredibly slow with too many playing groups booked? on the course at one time.

The condition of the course was fair for time of year and weather however a few of the fairway bunkers are very poor and overgrown with weeds.

Overall a very disappointing golf course experience with what seems like cramming in players to make money rather than delivering a great golfing experience.

I have only played this course - several years ago so the 3 of us were essentially going in blind. No tee box had a legible number on - let alone yardage. Many holes had no signage to indicate where the next tee was. We got lost on 3/4 holes and we saw other golfers having the same issue. It was SO SO poor. We won’t return as a result because if a course can’t get the absolute basics like signage sorted it is a real worry.

Upside: lovely Guinness in the 19th

Despite the recent wet weather, Stockley Park were not operating a trolley ban (unlike most other local pay and play courses). What they are doing to mitigate course damage is roping off large areas of fairway and around the greens - that makes total sense.

I was prepared for a slow round - SP notoriously slow plus it was a Bank Holiday - lots of two-balls and the course still needs a marshal to speed things up.

Greens in good nick (as usual) and fairways not too bad considering time of year.

Some lovely holes, back 9 fairways in great condition. Good value.

Greens terrible, Green Keepers driving around and parking next to greens with radios on, and the tweaked course layout designed by someone on LSD. Although we did get several free showers from the fairway sprinklers that they refused to turn off. Goodbye forever Stockley Park

This is a good long course and the only gripe I have is that you will need to programme your devise to indicate that the old hole 10 is now the new 1. ☹️
You can easily lose balls but then again that’s all part of the challenge.If you don’t have anyone in front then it can be fun otherwise annoying. Fairly long walks in between holes.
Will go back again via Golf Now to get the best rate

Go anywhere but here! We played early July, so not peak summer and there has been some decent rain in the past two weeks. Yet the course is more dried out than a grape in a microwave for 15 minutes. The bunkers are utterly sandless, rock solid and you might as well play your wedges straight off the car park, it would certainly be better for them. Massive craters in the tee boxes and greens, probably did the tee boxes a favour to try and flatten them out a bit, but you’d need a JCB to finish the job. For £35 per player for 18 holes we didn’t expect the Belfry, but it might have been nice to have seen at least one blade of green grass. Next time we’ll just play a round on the M4 where there’s undoubtedly more moisture in the ground than there is here. Save your money, stay away. I’ve uploaded pictures as evidence but not sure if they are saving

This is actually a lovely course and I can’t understand the bad reviews! The staff were friendly, people on the course were interacting. Looks better than I expected from all the reviews. Long course would recommend others to play it but if no1 is in front of you you will never know we’re the next tee box is

Had to cancel due to fog not clear how to get a refund?

Be careful as my booking from GolfNow was at a different time to what they had told me so I got there 30 mins late for the tee off that they had to what I had booked.
That’s said the golf shop was very accommodating and sorted the issue out.

Very long course but great challenges

Really enjoyable first time at this course will definitely go again soom

As a 1-ball visitor to this course I followed a 4-ball members group that did not have the courtesy to let me play through (even though there was no one in front of them). The round took me 4+ hours. The fairways were badly maintained and the putting greens had weeds growing out of them. A beautiful sunny day ruined. Never again Stockley Park.

If this was someone’s first experience of golf, they’d sell their clubs, pack it all in and never play ever again. This was by far and away the worst 18 hole course I’ve ever had the misfortune to play. From the very first hole, which in the middle of summer was playing off winter mats, Our group had a pretty miserable 4 hours. When you book a specific time, and are told by the person on reception you’re free to go, you expect to tee off at that time. However, when we got to the first, we had a good half hour wait whilst groups in front tee’d off. Either people had just turned up and walked on whenever they felt, or the booking system had gone down the pan.

It never got better. Constantly waiting on the tee every hole, and that was far from the worst. The condition of the course was pathetic. I’ve never seen so much litter, or lack of care taken by greenkeepers to take pride in their work. Half the greens had been spikes, rendering them beyond useless, and the others it was a complete guess as to how they would play. The fairways were barely noticeable from the rough, and the bunkers had more rocks and stones in them than a quarry.

This is one course that would be best served as a local housing estate. If it wasn’t for the fact that the round we endured was the last round before one of our group headed back to Aus, I think we’d have walked off and demanded a refund.

Perfect weather, nice golf course, nice meal afterwards...what is not to like?

1st hole par 3, struggled to find tee box, temp tee box even in height of summer.
Rest of course a great layout with undulating fairways and tricky bunker placements.
Never have I ever seen Dandelions growing in greens....
Could be an amazing course, but all 18 tee boxes and greens need a lot of work and investment...!
Bunkers need sand and stone removal.

Staff in clubhouse friendly. No pro-shop, just an extension of the Bar area.

Very picturesque views over Heathrow and the ciry of London.

Unfortunately the course here is in urgent need of some TLC, it looks like he hasn't seen a lawn mower in weeks.

The lay out is poor and you spend more time walking between holes than actually playing.

We had a 5 ball in front of us which should never happen and made the last few holes ridiculously slow.

The best thing about the place was the food afterwards which was actually really nice.
