Down Royal Park Golf Course

Played here before..... Not the most salubrious of courses but I'd always found it OK. Went today mostly because you don't have to use mats (which I hate) and there's a driving range with real balls that allows you to hit some warm up shots (getting to be a must do with my aging joints and muscles)The course was in "just OK" nick, dry underfoot but the greens had been heavily sanded which i would have liked to have been made aware of prior to booking. The course was generally a bit untidy with unreplaced divots everywhere (birds maybe?) and bits of rubbish lying in the edges. I realise that the ground staff have to keep bushes, shrubs trees etc under a certain height to maintain visibility of the horse race track surrounding it but the course could do with a bit of landscape cosmetics. Having said all that, I enjoyed the wide fairways and the dryness of the place. Ill come back again as it was reasonable value.

Greens in need of attention but I’ll blame that on player’s not repairing pitch marks, some parts of course very wet but the weather hasn’t been great this past few weeks

Brilliant course not many winter mat tees only maybe 6. No winter greens would highly recommend

Booked a tee- time for 4 o’clock but arrived early and the guy in the pro shop let us tee off at 3 o’clock. Mighty decent. Really enjoyed my day at Down Royal. The course was really nice to play but the greens were a bit slow. Over all, not a bad day out.

Its been very wet recently, lots of rain and a lot of local courses are damp underfoot. Down Royal is a heathland course with good drainage so it should have been dry.. There wasnt any flooding or puddles but the fairways havent been cut recently ( perhaps because of all the rain?) and were very hairy, particularly the front 9. Balls were sometimes hard to find even in the middle of the fairways and there certainly wasnt any run once the shot touched down. Disappointingly they have closed the driving range which was a great facility for warming up before playing. Course could have been better....a bit expensive to be in this condition.

Good course but given little or no attention. Greens are slower than normal fairways, fairways are like rough, bunkers are like waste areas. Shame - good setting, good layout - sadly neglected.

Greens good condition for time of year. Good value for money and staff very friendly and helpful.

Played this course a few times now and have always been disappointed with the condition.

Had heard it was a good course to play in Winter as it doesn’t hold water so gave it another go - pleasantly surprised!

Fairways & greens a little long in places but with it being wet recently this was to be expected.

Bunkers could do with a fill of sand but aside from that pretty decent!

The course is in superb condition for the time of year, and is probably the best value in the local area by a long way. Really enjoyable!

Have played here several times over past two years, particularly over the winter as it drains so well.
Greens in good condition, course not crowded and helpful staff. Any other golfers we've met have been very friendly. Value for money

Have played this course before and enjoyed the course, however it has really changed and not for thebetter, very poor greens, bunkers are atrocious, worst i have ever seen, fairway grass is too long, cant say i would return if its stays like this, it needs a lot of tlc to make it better, dont think it could get any worse.
