Shambles

Greens are absolutely disgusting. Fairways are basically rough, pro shop…. What pro shop? Only 3 selection of balls available all Srixon.
A bit of weird one but got to the 12th and realized the mini cheddars they sold me were out of date 🤢

Thank you for taking the time to review our course and provide us with valuable feedback from your experience.
Sadly with the extreme dry spell we had in the summer our planned autumn renovations were put back to the middle of September which sadly coincided with your visit to us.
We trust your next visit to us will be with much improved playing services away from renovation times.
We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

So much potential here

I have played Gatton Manor 6 or 7 times over the last few years. I like the lay out but today the greens where terrible. Green keeper needs to get his finger out.

Thank you for taking the time to review Gatton Manor Golf Course.

We wanted to take this opportunity to make you aware of the recent challenges we have faced with our greens and how we are dealing with them going forward and investing in
the whole course in general.

At the back end of July 2021, our greens developed a disease (which is not uncommon) and unfortunately, it was not treated correctly by our then Course Manager. We decided to recruit a complete new greenkeeping team our new Course Manager who started with us in September recognised the disease straight away and has set about controlling it to limit its spread.

We have invested in a whole new fleet of greenkeeping equipment which we expect to take delivery of in June. We appreciate that our golf course has not been presented anywhere to the level of condition and presentation synonymous with Gatton Manor. Our aim moving forward is to take the current layout including the presentation to another level.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Gatton Manor, you will see and enjoy a vast improvement in the quality of the golf course.

Second worst course

There have been many courses I have played but this is one of the worst as the course has been neglected completely for a while now and it shows no grass on the greens very bobbly no point putting tees in poor condition as well yet the fairways looked after as the green keeper kept going up and down the course even when trying to play not stopping sometimes or turning off his engine like I get on other courses will not be going back to this course as none of this was told to us at the beginning then listening in the bar area which is also club house I believe hear they are charging people ten pounds yet we paid double not sure this is right then the chap said it is due to the poor condition of the course so why are they not doing this online

Shocking greens

I've played Gatton Manor many times over the years but on this visit the greens were truly shocking. I appreciate that it was only a week since greens maintenance had been carried out and perhaps they'll recover but ignoring the hollow tineing there was little or no grass. It will be a long time before I return (if ever)

Shame the greens and tees had just been hollow tuned and heavily sanded, I picture the course being really good by end May.

Good layout, some tough holes

Challenging interesting course

This is a beautiful parkland course, with interesting variety of holes. With a brook running through the course, there are multiple opportunities to avoid lakes, streams and blind rivers on the hardest hole.

The only downside was the greens need a bit of TLC. I'm sure they will be working on these over spring, so we will be going back in the summer.

Staff were very friendly, but if you're having lunch, make sure it is available. We had gourmet sausage rolls and crisps, which was ok.

The course was very soft in places. The greens held lots of water when it rained and lacked drainage. Lots of surface water lay on fairways. More temporary greens and tee boxes needed during Winter season.

Over all maintenance of the course has improved since our last visit. Tee boxes need improving. Lakes and rives need to be maintained. Stoney paths need to be levelled and bark would improve the surface passage of all paths.

This course could be outstanding but investment needed badly around this golf course.
