Sutton Green Golf Club

Played here on 15/4/2011
I've been playing golf for around 18 months and although I don't have a huge point of reference I have to say this course is certainly a thinking course. Up until now most courses I have played you could comfortably let rip with the driver but due to the brilliantly placed hazards all over the course I had to make more careful selections both off the tee and on the fairway(ok maybe rough).
The course isn't heavily tree lined so at times can feel a bit open the hazards keep the course very narrow.
The whole course is superbly kept and the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be playing there again soon.

Played here Feb. 2010
Fairly standard modern course.
Worth playing but i'm unsure whether i,d want to play it again.It felt like a long walk round ,even from the winter tees & there's quite a lot of walking imbetween greens & tees.It's not heavily treelined & can feel a bit bleak & barren in places.
Quite a nice start ,the mid section holes a bit uninspiring then a good run of holes from 12 unto the finish .I liked that the course starts & finishes with a par 5 & there are some good water feature holes.
Oak trees are prominent features on 6 holes ,sometimes in the middle of the fairway.
Identikit modern clubhouse.
So,not a bad course but the standard £50 green fee must be to keep people away & even for the £25 2 fore 1 rate there's better to be had in the area.

Played on 1st April 2009 in sunshine. A well designed course fitting 18 holes in a tight package of farmland, although the 4th/6th and 7th/8th are a bit close together. There are 3 good par3s (3rd, 13th and 16th). They should remove the hedge in front of the 11th though, it looks like what it is, a hang-over from the farmland and detracts from a 235 Yard par3. The 18th is a good par 5 finish with a big home green in front of the clubhouse patio.
Fairways are still a bit thin, the course was built in 1995, but the greens look like they will be OK. We phoned ahead as visitors, but weren't told they had hollow tined all 18 greens two days before – the greens were best left alone. This omission was corrected by the manager later with a complimentary voucher for a two-ball.
A modern, functional well-furnished clubhouse with pleasant staff and a visitor changing room complete with lockers. An interesting course for a reasonable price. Will come again.

Played Sutton green on 9th march 2009. The course was very wet and the greens were slow and quite bumpy, If I had payed the full £50 I would have been disappointed. Its a great lay out and I'd like another go when the summer comes

After moving to live in Woking i played 6 local courses in the same price band with a view to joining one and chose Sutton Green to join.
Its a lovely course, not too long but certainly a thinkers course. On several of the par 4s its advisable to keep the driver in the bag and go with a 3 wood off the tee.
the course is always in great condition and never has temperary tees or greens.
There is water on 7 holes with the short par 3 16th played to a virtual island green. Favourite is the 14th played over a lake from the tee and avoiding the lone oak in the middle of the fairway. slight dogleg right with another lake down the right. push the tee shot right and have a long approach all over water - keep left!
Straight over distance is the order of the day.
Enjoy

HAVE PLAYED HERE IN SOCIETYS A FEW TIMES COURSE ALWAYS IN GOOD NICK AND ALTHOUGH A FAIRLY RECENTLY BUILT COURSE STILL INTERESTING TEST.
THE YARDAGE MARKERS ON THE FAIRWAY SPRINKLERS ARE A BIG HELP AND BUNKERS WELL PLACED...YOU WILL EVEN SEE GROUND STAFF WORKING LATE INTO THE AFTERNOON...CLUBHOUSE EXCELLENT AND STAFF ARE THE FRIENDLIEST I HAVE ENCOUNTERED ANYWHERE.

Played here on the 17/8/2007. I have played here once before but couldn't remember that much about it, except that i enjoyed it. I was just as impressed 2nd time around. The course is varied with many different holes. There are some lovely holes where the water comes into play (9th/17th to mention two) The condition is really superb. At £250 with a green free voucher you can't go wrong player here.

I'd agree with most of the other comments, great condition, some lovely holes especially the 9th. Pro shop were very helpful, £25 on 241's is a bargain.

Our society played here today following a few weeks of very dry and warm weather, and the course was in absolute mint condition - the ground staff should be congratulated for their efforts.
The greens were again in perfect condition, allowing pitches to bite. Very subtle borrows led to a few lip-outs.
The course is not particularly long, which makes it very satisfying and enjoyable and perfect for society days.
I'm not sure I would want to pay £50 for a round here, however there are good rates available for societies, our visit cost £28, which included coffee and a very filling bacon roll.
Overall an excellent day's golf ( I scored 42 points playing off 21, hence the enthusiasm...)

Played on Sunday 26th June on a 2-Fore-1 round, which cost £30 each. My first impressions were favourable and I was looking forward to the round, after reading previous reviews. Now for £30 on a Sunday there probably cannot be many complaints, be what the heck if not 2-Fore-1 then for £60 there would be. I did find the course in very good condition overall, with a few challenging holes that made you play strategic, not just let it rip. The problems I found were that the holes seemed very close together. Standing on the 1st you have the 15th fairway and green close on your right. The 7th, 8th, 9th 10th & 11th are all visable from each fairway, and it is a little confusing when you approach the T-Box for the 9th as the 11th T is very close and it took us a few minutes to work out which way to play!!!!. Standing on the 17th you have the 1st, 15th and 18th again in very close proximatey. But what I found completely unnacceptable was what we encountered whilst playing the 9th. As metioned earlier it is not easily noted which way the 9th & 11th play, but we assumed we had guessed correct. We T'd of on the 9th, which like many of the other holes is attractive looking, being Par 4, 379 yards , with a pond coming into play on the right. We T'd off and walked up the fairway to ours balls. It was upon reaching our 2nd shots that I noticed other balls on the green. First we thought we had played up to, and possibly past a group looking for a ball in the rough, but knew this couldn't be the case as the course is open and there had not been anybody in front of us all round. Then we thought that maybe we had been wrong, and were playing the 11th instead of the 9th. Alas after a quick check of the course layout it was confirmed we were on the correct hole. The mystery continued, but we agreed to play to the green and see what was going on when we reached it. We played up and upon reaching the green I cleared !!!!8 ADDITIONAL GOLF BALLS!!!! of the green. I had actually missed the green to the left, after being to cautious not to go in the pond on the right, and upon reaching where my ball had landed I was met by around 15 balls all lying there!!!!! They turned out to be range balls, as the practice fairway plays up towards the 8th T and 9th Green. I have never experienced this on any other course, even cheap public courses and certainly would not expect it of a course of Sutton Green's supposed standard. Upon finishing the round I went into the pro shop and expressed my views on this, to which the gentleman just gave me a look and sigh, as if it is a common occurance. Maybe any player taking range balls should be made aware that a long strike could endanger players T'ing of on the 8th or putting on the 9th, or maybe they should restrict the practice fairway to and 8 iron maximum. This aside the course was in good condition and other golfers we ecnountered were pleasant, but for £30 I can think of a few other courses within the Guildford ara that I would play over this one. I suppose they should get a Gold Star for allowing non-members to play on a Sunday on 2-Fore-1 and have the chance to experience the course, so for that I say thanks. Try it for yourselves, as this is ust my personal view.
PS The fact I had a disasterous round has no bearing on my above comments.

A very friendly and welcoming club with some very polite members. We were called through two fourballs and had a very pleasant well-paced round.
The rough has been allowed to grow apparently for an upcoming competition, with the price to us being a number of lost balls which you would normally expec to find - accuracy is at a premium.
Some lovely testing tee shots including a very inviting drive between trees and over a bunker on the 14th and a tricky par 3 16th with virtually an island green.
Nice course, will play again.

The course looks easy,but you need to be straight and the greens are developing some interesting borrows.Money has been spent on new landscaping and this is helping to mature a newish course.Can be slow at weekends.

Played the course on a society day and posted a gross 64 off a handicap of 6. Dunked one in the water on the 9th for a double bogey and then birdied all but the 11th and 17th on the back 9 for a 28 home and 7 under total. I love the place, though I'm not sure I'll be invited back after taking the prizes with 48 points and nearest the pin (2 feet on the 13th with a 5 iron).

Great course, nice clubhouse and easy going atmosphere. The course looks easy at first glance but is more than a challenge. The long 7th is a favourite, and I like the par 3 16th which is tougher than it looks.

great courtesy shown by everyone.Not a difficult course ,but interesting all the same.Superb par 5 to open and it is a lovely leisurely walk to continue.GOLF FOR ALL.
