Teed off at 1pm. 2 ball. Made very good time up to the 9th hole but then we caught up with members. Pace of last 11 holes was much slower which was a wee bit frustrating. The greens were generally in very good condition. The tee boxes were pretty badly damaged and some of the bunkers were very poor. Sand was grubby, not raked, just poor quality. The 8th and 18th holes are very easy on the eye. There is a lot of work going on at The Ridge and this will much improve the overall facilities. All the staff that we came into contact with were friendly and helpful. We booked via GolfNow so paid £19 for 18 holes which is very good value. Completed the round by 4.45pm.

I’ve played Surrey National half a dozen times now. The course was in reasonable condition for middle of March. Unfortunately there were far too many unrepaired pitch marks on every green together with loads of divots on fairways, again unrepaired. Pace of play was ok. Two ball got round in just under 4 hours. Decent sandwich in the bar afterwards. £19 for the round via tee times.co.uk

Teed off at 12.45pm and finished just before lights out at 4.45pm. Pretty decent pace of play. Course was in good condition for mid January, although pretty much every green had numerous unrepaired pitch marks which was pretty frustrating. Other than that, 18 holes for £12 you just can’t go wrong. Shot a gross 80 with four birdies, so my best round for months.

Can’t really add much to the above. 3rd and 4th holes are dangerously close to each other. The 8th and 9th share a fairway effectively and the members strolling down the 9th seemed to be blissfully unaware that we were waiting to tee off up the 8th. Painfully slow. Took 4 hours to complete the 2x9 holes. Probably an hour longer than it should for a 2 ball. Greens were in good nick though. Got back to the bar at 2.15pm to be told that the kitchen was closed “because we have a function on this afternoon” so they couldn’t even make us a ham and cheese sandwich. There was one other person in the bar at the time so she was hardly overworked. Overall not a great experience for a new visitor. The sunshine was nice.

Played in a 2 ball. Course looks very much better than the last time I was here 15 years ago. Greens are immaculate and quick ! Some tight drives to negotiate. The par 3 8th hole is a picture. We caught up with an elderly 4 ball at the 13th so that last few holes were much slower but we still got round in 3 hours 45 minutes. I would recommend this as a decent challenge for mid handicap golfers. Probably a good option for a society.
