Surrey National Golf Club

Slowest play I’ve ever encountered... at one stage on the 5th there were 5 groups of players... three on the tee box, one in the fairway and one on the green. All this with 8 minute slots between players... Starter told us that they allow members to play in between gaps in the field and that’s why it is so slow. Tee off at 13h00 was only able to finish 15 holes before dark. What a shame.

Fantastic course. Great design and very scenic. A real challenge. Many stunning looking holes. A fine one stroke victory to Will. Thanks to Dillon and Dan for a fun game. We will be back for sure!

I just don't much like the layout of this course. Too many short par 4s. Most holes not much trouble off the tee, but some almost impossible to hit the ball to a good place due to narrow and very slopey fairways. Decent condition though

Good course spoiled by the lack of marshals to prevent what ended up as very slow play.
Could prevent this by simply watching the direction their ball went, but ended up with buggies and trolleys all looking for one players lost ball.

No call through which is frustrating.

I would guess this is not a course for those with a handicap over 24 - you need to be able to direct your shots with reasonable accuracy and consistency. For those with these core competencies it is a real challenge, and great fun. Anti Covid measures fully in place and, remarkably, everything operating well including tee boxes, greens, fairways pro shop and clubhouse.

I enjoyed this course as it is picturesque but it is tough physically..I'm 63 and reasonably fit but despite using a electric trolley it was tiring.as it is very hilly
However the course is in great condition with superb greens and the fairways have a good surface to take a divot.
I have two complaints which are that the tee direction signage was absent on some holes or not in a good position on others. A map and some directions on the scorecards would help. Secondly, the paths are very rocky and uneven and the bunkers need some sand in them ! I know the idea is not to go in them, but there are a lot and they are mostly unplayable with only 1/2 inch of sand and somewhat stony in some. This I found out of character with the course and I suppose if I played it regularly, then I might be more aware of the bunker positions. I paid £26 on a hot deal and so was good value for money but the normal price is £38 so not good value when you take into consideration my comments. I will play again and maybe hire a buggy but only on a hot deal price.

First time playing at Surrey National! Really good course, incredibly friendly staff too. Excellent practice facilities on top. Which makes warming up fun and easy.

Would definitely recommend to any friends.

The only problem we had was the two elderly members playing in front of us didn’t let us play through, despite being at the tee box with them on at least 5 occasions and with us being in a buggy and then walking. But can’t blame the club or the staff for this.

Played here on Sunday afternoon and was impressed. The natural lie of the land lends itself to a maturing course which is quite hilly and has a spot of class to it. The tee boxes were in better condition than most course I've played acceoting guests and the greens were very well kept minus a few unrepaired divets owing to it being a very busy day. I would recommend playing it and the only negative was being placed behind a four ball playing in a medal and a 2 ball behind us also in a medal. On one par 5 there were three groups on the same hole which is just impatient. When we let the 2 ball play through us at the next tee, of course we were stuck behind them which confirmed that it was just a busy day rather than any slow play on our part. Clubhouse ok, great bacon sandwich and great pint of well kept Guinness after golf. Unprotentious but upholding all the expected standards. Man in pro shop a bit grumpy. Would play again though.

Very undulating course with water. A challenging but enjoyable course

Good course. Great condition. Course with lots to think about. wouldnt hesitate to rebook. Great to be on a course with proper lakes making you think about your shots
