Finding affordable courses for 'non-golf course members' in London can be a little tricky - Stand up Brent Valley golf club.
It was the second time playing the course and was still enjoyable. There are a few similar holes on the front 9 but the course is well maintained and challenging enough for a new-mid starter to the game. You'll even find a couple of Par 4 greens accessable in 1 shot - nice birdy/eagle territory.
There are plenty of bunkers and some water hazards which keep you on your toes.
The greens are well kept and the rough is looked after.
The course is open so you'll see plenty of people walking besides or across holes and the occasional dog wandering onto the course. Because the weather was so nice, a small group of people had decided to have a picnic on one of the tee-off points. You just need to be aware of them and make sure you ask them to step aside to let you play through. You might even be lucky enough to be approached by someone on a bicycle trying to sell you golfballs. You could potentially be buying your own lost ball back.
But saying all of that, it's a nice affordable course. It's open and picturesque.
You can hire trolleys and they have a small selection of golf items to purchase if you've forgotten anything.
To top it off the 19th hole has a lovely outside area that overlooks part of the course. A perfect view for a well deserved end of round beer.
Go on, give it a go!
