Dorking Golf Club

Totally unforgettable experience; I can remember every hole clearly. The card suggests this is a short holiday course but after the first hole it is seriously challenging with some hard to get at greens and three uphill climbs. While we paid for 18 holes, we were glad to get off after 9 as it was a physically tiring and stressful course to play.

I played today for £13 twilight rate for as much golf as you wish. Though a 9 hole course which struggles to fit into the available land well worth a visit and a hole by hole description foolows.

1st: sharply downhill par 4 and can be driven.
2nd: good dog-leg the raised green requiring a well struck second.
3rd: the longest hole (446 yds)requires an acuurate and long drive to bring the green in range.
4th: tee shot over a pond playing longer than its 141 yds.
5th: a short dogleg, rewards a sensible tee shot
6th: with a sloping green needs a tee shot aimed right of the target
7th: challenging 2nd to raised & well protected green.
8th: is over 200 yds and plays its full length.
9th: needs a good drive before an uphill 2nd to a double decker green. Unless you get a flat stance this is a very difficult hole.

Fairways and greens in good condition and the hilly terrain gives the course its character. Good matchplay course. There was a suggestion from a memeber that the hole yardages are to the front of the greens which may explain my impressions about the length of most holes. Short but fun.

Very challenging course that proved excellent value for money

Very Nice course looks easy on the card, but you will have to be VERY straight when driving. The green are very very good, fast & sloping.Worth a visit.
