Maylands Golf and Country Club Player Reports

We played this course yesterday and it is a well designed and mature one. The 9th (long par 3) and the 18th (challenging par 4) can destroy either your first 9 or the back 9 - or both!

It is not cheap, but, as it is within the M25, is not unreasonably priced.

The only possible fault is that, although the fairways were OK and there were no puddles to be seen anywhere, every tee area for visitors and members in 'general play' was from mats, despite the 'whites' and the 'ladies' being played off the genuine article ie grass.

Also, several members were using buggies, so the conditions can't have been too bad! This, to me, seems incongrous and also a bit silly, as it takes the edge off a very good outing having to use mats if playing off the normal tees wouldn't have caused any damage. This does not seem to be a 'one off' occurance, as, on my last 2 visits tee shots have had to be off mats.

Maylands used to be a members only course with long waiting lists to join but now has vacancies for membership, allows 'pay and play', and encourages societies. Unfortunately, some of the members do not appreciate that this subsidises their membership fees and helps maintain their facilities and they are not exactly friendly. Thankfully, they are outnumbered by the good guys.

Overall though, a very good course and look out for 'offers' that includes bacon rolls and lunch, as the food is good.

To start off, I am not a member and have only been playing the game for a short time.

I have played this course many times within the last two years. i have seen a great improvement with the tees and greens. They are both well maintained now. Think my only problem would be there isnt a par 5 on the front nine.

The clubhouse has greatly improved and now everything has been updated.

To other people who have the problem with the M25 being right beside "one" hole, get real!! I bet them people who play that hole and "cock" it up blame the traffic.

Would say to every golfer to try this course out at least once and see what you think.

I Have been a member of this course for just over a year now and the course has improved dramaticaly , the greens are very challenging but are in excellent condition the fairways are excellent and the practice facilities are brilliant , A massive putting green at least 80ft long and even a practice hole.

Found the course very average and lacking in the value for money department. With 35 pounds on a weekday you would expect a course better looked after. The noise from the M25 also definitely interfered on a few holes. Good course for a mid handicaper though with mature trees lining most fairways. Quality of the greens was above average.
