Just to say that we played in the mixed open there on Sunday, and was very impressed.
£45 each and included coffee & pastries on arrival, 18 holes, then a very generous 2 course meal afterwards.
Enjoyed the course, has some interesting holes and the greens were superb. Fairways had suffered from...
Just wondering what people thought of this club if you have played there.
They are holding a mixed open in September and I'm thinking of getting a few of us together to go, only £90 per pair including a 2 course lunch.
Any reports or comments about the place.
I have only ever played the new layout and seems okay to me. I believe before, there were 3 holes across the road, but they got closed and the land sold on for potential houses.
we often play at Milford Golf Club, as it is owned by Crown so we can play there for free.
played last sunday and in very good condition, some interesting holes and it looked like the clubhouse was busy.
Not sure what the membership charges are, but would be worth a look.

What time you teeing off as I’m there late afternoon.
Enjoy your round

They were down to about 5-6 greenstff a while ago, and now another two have left this week.
Are there any other members on this forum, from other Crown Golf courses (i'm Batchworth). If so, I would be interested to hear if they are currently maintaining the courses up to a reasonable standard.
we had our Drive-in this weekend (fun comp)- they opened all 18 for the first time in months (front nine been shut as on clay), and really highlighted how bad that side was. Boggy as hell, balls getting lost on fairways as plugging, plus the length of grass on the supposed fairways and semi...
Walked past it about 2 months ago, and it had a look about it, that it had been deserted and looked all overgrown, where as previously you could make out the greens and fairways.
Personally think it maybe slightly doomed once they lost permission to build an 18 hole, and can only now build a 9...
