Played this course in the past for £25 and loved it. Friends wanted to play, so we did, but such a shame it's now outpriced many social golfers. Nice course but not worth the prices they are now charging so will find somewhere else until it's more affordable again. Pity..

Golf Now really needs to do something about golf clubs not updating the tee times available and trying to pair you up with other golfers. Warnings on the booking pages need to be given.. When we booked there were plenty of times and on the morning of the round there still were plenty of available times, suggesting not a busy course,. However upon arrival, queues, queues and queues and the club trying to pair us up with others! I have never waited on the 8th tee with four groups of four in front of us and the round took 5 hours. Chaos!

Bunkers unplayable and barren fairways along with the queuing let this once decent course down badly.

Played North Downs a few times before and it's a lovely little course. However on 5th July 2020 the greens were in a terrible state, probably the worst greens I have ever played on. We were informed of this at the Pro Shop, hence the reasonable price, but these course conditions should be flagged up by the Club either on this site or on the Clubs own website of which neither show this. I would certainly avoid for the next month or so as the greens will probably take some time.

Feel sorry for the Club. Not long reopened and the first few greens were a bit of a mess as obviously members of the public decided to desecrate them over lockdown.

The public today are all candidates for The Darwin Awards! I know there are public rights of way on this course but this was bizarre. People sunning it in the middle of fairways, under trees on the fairway, on and around greens hidden behind blind hills it was quite unbelievable how many people didn't seem to care that this is a golf course! You had to actually ask people to move to play a shot at times and as you lined up someone with a dog would just appear and walk across your shot line and it really felt like as a golfer it was you intruding on peoples right to sun bathe!! Hope the Club can get this back under control as things move forward because it was a bizarre and frustrating experience.

As the title suggests it's a decent enough course but a little bland. For the price charged there are far better courses to play for either the same price or cheaper. Price suggests the Club would prefer few visitors and that's fair enough but as I say far better courses out there with better deals.

Unfortunately a rather nice course ruined by a rather snooty attitude at Copthorne. Very fussy on attire and etiquette which is fine but it doesn't seem to apply to some of the members themselves! Be prepared for a ticking off if a shoe lace is out of place, a shirt not fully tucked in or the wrong colour clothing being worn, it rather seems that green fees are not really welcome.

The course itself is in good condition and quite a challenge due to tree lined fairways, bunker protected greens and dog legs galore and a dropped shot can be fatal if you are looking for a good score. However if you stay on the fairways you can score well but one bad hole and the wheels can come off.

All in all it's ok but for the money there are far nicer courses and atmospheres elsewhere.

Nice course and in general a good club but they have rather confusing rules about tee time bookings and roll ups. Personally after recent experience I wouldn't trust booking a tee time because the club seems to give the impression that they don't take tee times although it may have now changed. Best to call the club before making any booking.

Love this course. If you just want a nice round with a playing time of around three and a quarter to three and a half hours and a fairly flat, short course this is ideal. Would much rather play here for £10-£15 than a better course on paper for £25-£30.

Not a bad course at all for the money and it's in a decent enough condition. The only problem is that the Club obviously doesn't let Golf Now or Tee Off Times know their Foot Golf bookings. We were lucky and arrived earlier than our tee time. If we had been 5 minutes later we would have been stuck slap bang in the middle of several Foot Golf parties who play on the front nine. So play early or check the schedule.
