Suggestions for place to play at the weekend - Surrey / M25 area

[Canary_Yellow]

Hi everyone,

I have a friend visitng the UK this weekend, he's going to be based in the Slough area, I live in Kent so we're looking to split the difference and play somewhere in Surrey.

Any suggestions for a decent place to play on Saturday afternoon / early evening? Finding somewhere decent to play at the weekend isn't easy (or cheap), so suggestions for places offering good twilight deals would be appreciated.

Tandridge is on the Surrey / Kent border

That's a very good suggestion, such a good suggestion in fact that me and the same friend played there last month when he was over.

It's also a little bit too near to me as I'm in West Kent.

Anyone know if The Drift is good?

Its good and been improving all the time with more and more trees coming out. Depending on when you are planning to play Saturday it might be difficult as the Mens Open is that day. Suppose that will mean absolute peak condition if you do manage to get out, guessing it will be fine in the afternoon though

Reigate Hill tend to have good rates available

Thanks Hosel Fade. We'd be looking to play late-ish afternoon I think. Hopefully that would be ok? I'll check.

Thanks Maninblack - I've played there before and the first few holes are good, as are the last couple, but the ones in between are a bit boring. Also, there is a pace of play issue....

I'm not ruling it out, but hoping we can find somewhere better.

If pace of play is an issue then be careful of The Drift. They really do try and pack them in!!

Thanks road2ruin.

What I'm after in an ideal world is a members club that lets visitors on the course late in the day at weekends (when members clubs are typically quiet).

Thank you - again though, probably a bit too near Tonbridge and not near enough to Slough. I've always made him come round my way in the past so trying to redress the balance!

pyrford supposed to be a decent knock ,thats more his way.

Maybe a look at West Byfleet GC. Just off the M25. Members club that allows visitors and reduced rate after 3pm at the weekend.

Laleham.......

 

[Hosel Fade]

...... indeed ;-)

West Byfleet is quality, Pyrford is somewhat decent apart from the 18th being possibly the worst finishing hole I have ever seen

 

[Canary_Yellow]

Thanks all. West Byfleet worth £45?

 

[dufferman]

Hoebridge? Just off the M25. http://www.hoebridgegc.co.uk/

Farleigh could be a possibility. Not stunning, but certainly reasonable and good value at £15 after 3:00 (through Teeofftimes -http://teeofftimes.co.uk/).

Weterham or any of the others group is about the same level of quality - except The Addington which is a hefty step up in quality and price!

West Byfleet is definitely a very good course. £45 IS pricey, but if you are after quality....

Is Mill Ride a bit too close to Slough for you?

 

[Canary_Yellow]

Thank you - I don't mind paying £45 if it's a good course, just wouldn't want to stump up that much cash if there were something equally as good available for less.

I've heard of Mill Ride - decent track?
