Coombe Wood Golf Club
Played On 04/17/2019very pleasant but bobbly greens
A wonderful course, well laid out and challenging. It was our first time there and so it was great to venture into the unknown. We were given a course map and directed o where we needed to go which was nice and friendly. We spoke to a few while we were there and everyone was cheerful and warm. Course was laid out well with a couple of holes which needed a little strategy and discussion. There are a couple of long par 3's which were very tough and one short par 3 that lines a row of gardens into which one shot may have ventured and luckily there was no yell or greenhouse destruction. The greens had recently been sanded and spiked so we suffered with bobbles and weaves and the odd quirky roll that niggled us. Hitting them was interesting as the sand seemed to make them pop and roll a bit further than expected but when putting it was very hard to read and the lack of turning surprised us. factoring the weather and conditions, recently, the course is in great shape. It was surprisingly quiet in the afternoon and that really helped us enjoy the course and would go back for sure.

Played On 11/17/2018forgiving and spectacular
Played mid November on a Saturday, lucky it was quiet and found the course in great condition. Open and forgiving fairways helped shake the rust off, greens great condition, hard and fast even though it was 'winter' - nice mix of challenging holes and great water features around a couple. Elevated tee's made some holes a joy to play. Not the toughest course so when you found trouble it was playable. Bunker locations are the main challenge, esp around the greens. Low key and no frills clubhouse. Would play again for sure.

Played On 11/12/2018Enjoyable, not too tough
First time round, found it fairly straightforward, not too many blind tee's, nice variation, very nice greens, some were craftily designed and would be worth noting next time round, it was mid November so a bit sticky and they were adjusting to winter tee's on some holes.A very enjoyable round was had. I found a wicked bunker guarding the ninth which coaxed me in. Also not too long to complete 18 - about 3.5 hours although 4 ball ahead did bail after nine.
