Played last week,thought the course was great condition,members seemed fine with us no problems,staff great and Mitcham have a great website with an online booking and a new online Proshop.Not many golf clubs have that.

Would advise golfers to try this little gem.

Played this course last week. Course has well maintained greens. Few holes could do with netting to prevent players accidentally hitting balls into traffic!

Green fees Mon-Fri very good. Unfortunately this course is let down by a large number of members who treat 'pay and play' golfers like dirt.

Speaking to a number of other players it seems that the club has a reputation for its rude members. This is the single reason why even though I live nearby, I have not joined. Shame because the staff seem very approachable and friendly...

Chris Gravell (England) 14/05/05

Played 18 holes this morning for the second time and in the main enjoyed my visit.

I know that players such as myself can be annoying to get stuck behind but I honestly lost count of the number of times a ball from the following four came past me.

Possibly one of the rude members others have mentioned.

Having said this the course is immensely enjoyable and fairly challenging for the high handicapper.

The greens are very well kept and fast while the fairways are well defined... you've just got to stay on them!

Managed to lose about 8 balls today but will undoubtedly be back again this summer for another 7am round!

Short but interesting course. Greens very good. Had no problems with the pro, but the course layout does mean that you must be constantly aware of other players on other holes. Unfortunately, some players (Sunday afternoon) couldn't manage basic golf ethics, so a few close calls. Otherwise, very enjoyable. Would go again.

Myself and my brother have played this course four or five times since mid-October. We have found it a challenging and interesting course, hence we have returned. Although parts of are easily waterlogged, the greens appear to be holding up quite well on the whole. Great for public transport, both train and tramlink stop right outside the clubhouse and the bar serves cheap Foster's! Rude members? No ruder than the average inhabitant of London!

Super stuff!

PLAYED TWILIGHT ON THE 27/05 - JUST MANAGED TO GET IN 18 HOLES. COURSE IN GREAT CONDITION - SCORED AN 83, MY BEST EVER. PRO HAD GONE HOME, BUT BARMAID WAS FRIENDLY AND TOOK OUR £10 FEES.

I CAN'T STOP GRINNING TODAY AFTER LAST NIGHTS ROUND.

Played 10.2.02 and found the course challenging if a little damp. I have to concur with the many other comments that from the first tee the members must be some of the rudest and unwelcoming

of any course that I have played. We will go back because the course as a whole was worth it but please do something about those arrogant members, who very nearly spoilt an otherwise excellent morning.

I grew up in the area & played the course reguarly returning this summer for the first time in over 20 years I found the course relatively unchanged,the greens were excelent and the layout challenging . Geof Godfrey the pro remember'd me & my name he is a real assett to the club . the fairways are firm & undulating,stay in them if you want to shoot a low round . I look forward to playing there again in 2002

Played this course yesterday and found it a joy. Definitely challenging for the high handicapper. The greens were in excellant condition but were waterlogged in some parts though. The staff were rude in the bar afterwards but the guy at the pro shop was very chatty and helpful.

A well thought out course where using your head is a must. Not particularly long but a decent challenge nonetheless. The greens are superb.

The club appears to have been established soon after the war and it seems that some of its members have probably been there since the early days! I think the culture may have something to do with this.

pete (England) 24/04/01

Enjoyed the course, although the final two holes were a touch dull. would have preferred something a little racier after 16 holes. and yes, the Pro was incredibly rude. i know this site isn't intended for cheap gossip but he really did my party of four in a bad mood from the first tee.

At £15 / round, the course was good value. Greens were slow, but they held their line.

Although very flat, the design provided a decent enough challenge.

I'll definitely go back.

Unfortunatley, I have to concur with the comment dated 04/05/99. Although the greens etc were favourable, my colleague & I found the Pro less than friendly. Similarly, the members. Likewise, we shall not be returning.

#

(England) 04/05/99

Nice greens, pity about the less-than-friendly members. I won't be back.

A top notch course with super greens, and a friendly Pro. Not completely comprimising fairways, with well designed and placed bunkers. The fairways are not a problem though, with the local rule of Preferred Lies
