Played this course a few times now and really enjoy it. Despite being short it’s quite a challenge for me as a high handicapper but not unfair. Played as a 2-ball at midday on a Sunday and took a buggy for the first time which was a good move (course is quite hilly). Flew round until the 11th when we got stuck behind another 2-ball who were very slow but who also had got stuck behind an even-slower 4-ball. Bit disappointed that we weren’t waved through but nevertheless an enjoyable (if slightly slow) round. Very friendly staff in the clubhouse too 👍🏻

Played on a busy Wednesday a couple of days after loads of heavy rain but the course was in very good condition considering the time of year and all the recent wet weather. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in good condition. No hold ups going round nor pressure from groups behind ( we were only a 2 ball) so pace of play was very good despite the course apparently being fully booked from 09.00-12.30 (we teed off at 11.30). A very enjoyable round with friendly staff in the shop/clubhouse. Beware though, it is very hilly. But fantastic value at only £21!!! Will definitely return.

Course was in good condition considering the time of year. Greens very challenging! Teed off just before 10am with no in front or behind us all the way round. Really good value and very friendly staff in the clubhouse afterwards when having a well deserved pint. Will definitely be back.

Played Crews Hill early yesterday morning. Course was very quiet so our 2-ball went round with no-one in front or behind us. Given the time of year, course was in reasonable condition. Fairways were decent but greens were absolutely soaking wet. Biggest complaint was the “over enthusiastic” green keepers who followed us for most of the round and continued mowing and blowing leaves all the time when we were playing shots and putting. And they even managed to run over my playing partner’s ball when it was clearly visible on the green fringe! Golf etiquette is important for players but should be equally so for the course staff too!

First time playing Hurtmore and upon arrival we were informed that our pre-booked 2-ball had been paired up with another 2-ball due to the course being extremely busy with a competition and society. Not ideal but as it turns out the other fellas were really nice and with handicaps of 28 and 10 were not too dissimilar to ours. Surprisingly pace of play was pretty good and we weren’t held up at all. The course itself is short with several similar short par 4’s which are very driveable for longer hitters. That said there are several well placed bunkers and some water to collect any misplaced shots but overall it’s fairly forgiving but still a good test for mid to high handicappers. The greens were in fantastic condition and very quick with some subtle breaks (and some not so subtle). Overall a very enjoyable round. Very friendly staff and a nice clubhouse too. I would definitely play Hurtmore again.

Course was in very good condition despite the torrential rain the previous day. Greens were excellent and very receptive. All staff were very friendly and helpful especially in the Pro shop. Only drawback was the slow round caused by a geriatric 4-ball who held up the 2-ball in front of our 2-ball and who didn’t allow our faster groups to play through. A very hilly course so excellent for a cardiac workout.

Hadn’t played at Enfield for many years but would certainly go back again. Course was very dry due to virtually no rain for over a month but greens were excellent. Water hazards were mostly dry ditches though (understandably). Our 2 ball got round in under 4 hrs with only a few waits due to a 4 ball three holes ahead of us slowing up the other 2 balls and us behind them. A really enjoyable round though. (Very hilly so a good cardiac workout if you’re walking round like we di!)

Played a 2-ball this morning and had a fantastic time. It was our first time playing here and we found the course in great condition and a good challenge. Some really nice holes. We were lucky that we had another 2-ball in front of us and no-one behind us for most of the round so pace of play was good. Things only slowed down from the 15th when we were all stacked up behind a geriatric male and female 4-ball who were struggling to even achieve a snail’s pace! That apart, a thoroughly enjoyable round and will definitely return.

Played on a Saturday morning and expected the course to be busy but from the 2nd hole onwards our 2-ball got stuck behind (at least) 4 4-balls playing a match. The group in front of us weren’t too slow but we’re constantly being held up by the groups in front of them. At no stage did they even consider letting us play through. Nor were we warned of the matches in play at reception. That said, course was in good condition - greens and fairways very good; tee boxes could do with some attention though. Overall still enjoyable despite our 2-ball taking 4 1/2 hrs to get round.

Played on a Saturday morning in a 3 ball. Course was busy with mainly 4 balls but there were no real hold ups and no backing up on tees. Despite very heavy overnight rain course was in good condition. Course marshal was visible during round and staff very friendly. A very enjoyable round and will be back.

Having seen previous reviews about very slow play and overcrowding I was a bit concerned when I booked. Thankfully they now have a starter/course marshal and there were no queues at the first tee. We were a 2 ball and behind another 2 ball who were quite slow but kindly let us play through after 4 holes and there were no more hold ups for the rest of the round. There was nobody immediately behind us either. Course was in excellent condition with true slick greens and fairways cut nicely short. Only shame was due to Covid the clubhouse facilities were understandably not available. Overall though, a very enjoyable round and very good value.

First time playing Crews Hill but hopefully won’t be the last. Nice layout with some great Par 3’s. The undulating and sloping fairways were a bit bare in places but presented a good challenge as did the very slick greens. Played as a 2 ball at 8am and no one was behind us all the way round and the 3 ball in front of us didn’t hold us up at all. Only gripe was some of the green keeping staff were following us for a few holes and were continually working on the tees and greens we were playing on. All in all though, thoroughly enjoyable and good value.

First time playing this course and very enjoyable. Greens were excellent and fairways good. A couple of tee boxes were a bit bare but overall the course was in good condition. Not a long course but some nice dogleg holes. Great value at only £14! Only drawback was the number of dog walkers and other members of the public wandering around the course. I would definitely play there again.
