The Shire London - Masters Course
Played On 10/24/2017Excellent except for little things
Terrific course in great condition October but tricky for players new to the course because of lack of information at each hole and how to find the next.
First time there and lucky for us one of us bought the course guide that has the hole information, distances and hazards and more important where the pin is. Unless you know you can be playing blind because there is no information at any of the tees.
Finding the next hole is easy enough except for 11-12 we ended-up on 14 and by the time we walked back the next group were nearly upon us.
Another negative is two pins share one green - it makes you wonder which pin to aim-at.
Challenging course with lots of water, looks fantastic, just let down by assuming everyone knows their way around.
Old Fold Manor Golf Club
Played On 10/23/2017Wide open fairways
Love this course, wide open fairways, bring your driver and bang-away. Though long the holes are still interesting with plenty of bunkers waiting to catch you. The whole course was immaculate - I couldn't quite believe that prior to me playing there had been lots of rain. Hitting a ball on the fairway and I was getting summer distances - the ground was so good.
Great course
Grims Dyke Golf Club
Played On 10/22/2017Lovely little course
I really like this course. It is relatively compact but very interesting using a range of sticks off the tee. Some of the holes will trip you up if you try to go long so some hole planning is required.
Course is in terrific condition and highly recommended
Bushey Hall Golf Club
Played On 10/08/2017Very nice course some interesting holes
First time here and am definitely coming back with friends.
The course, fairways bunkers and importantly the green were in excellent condition. A few one-putts were much appreciated. A couple of the holes would suit a left-hander especially if they can draw (left) so this makes it interesting and important to plan your shots unless you dare to hit a fade (right).
Play was a bit slow there were two fours in front of me. At the one hole they waived me through my tee shot hit a tree and dropped in the water. I was happy to amble along behind and think about how to tackle each hole.
Shop staff and Marshall especially helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed my round.

Played On 09/10/2017Stockley Packed
I booked to play single because it looked free online, and was so looking forward to playing a course with blue (pro) tees even though I would be hacking off the yellows
Apparently not free and a late medal competition meant it was backing-up when I went.
I quickly joined a 2 in-front of me but we were stuck behind 6 clowns going off the blues and straight into the trees. The marshall did nothing except ask them to play as a 6 as this might be quicker...
A round for 3 of us took 5 hours and 15 minutes!
The course. Some of the greens are quite badly broken. Some of the sandpits are full of stones and I simply wouldn't use an expensive wedge in there - rather take a drop. Generally the course is nice but the grass is too long and it made it difficult to find your ball. To be fair - it had rained heavily before.
The first hole is under renovation - but is not playable - I just walked past it. This and the conditions of the greens make it a 2/5
Perhaps why clowns play there. Perhaps when the 1st hole is renovated I might try it again
Haste Hill Golf Club
Played On 07/08/2017Great course for mid handicappers
I play 20
I love haste hill because it is a well designed variable course - no doing laps here. There is only one 5 par but a couple of the 4's are long so you need to keep in the fairway and out of the ditches. I recommend a 3 or 5 wood off a few of the tees. The 6th is one of my favourite holes on any course and I like the 9 and 18.
I scored it down on condition because there are a couple of bunkers that have been in construction for as long as I have played there but otherwise the fairways are good and the greens are nice.
For a late afternoon game Haste Hill is top value and a really nice playable course
