Course Review

Three courses set in mature parkland countryside.
The main course is quite hilly and it can be hard walking around this course. The first nine holes are quite open but the second nine has more trees and bushes along the fairway's to catch wayward drives. When we played the course the greens were very firm and you had to land your ball just before them and roll on otherwise you were through the green and were chipping back.

Favourite Hole

Hole 17:   500 yard plus par 5 dogleg to the right.
You need a drive of at least 230 yards to get to the corner of this dogleg and it is not easy because the fairway is not flat it slopes away from the corner of the dogleg making your second shot longer. The second is blind and if you reach the green then you are a mighty long hitter.

I played this course on Sunday 20 August 2000. A wonderful course! Although the greens have been aired they were still quiet playable. A little hard to stop the ball on the greens but after 2 days of baking sunshine I could not expect any better.
The Course is beautiful, open at time and some very challenging holes that require well thought out tee shots. I was penalised three times for long straight tee shots that ended up on the wrong side of the fairway to attack the green.
The rough was forgiving in place and totally uncompromising in others. Lack of water hazards is compensated for by some well placed bunkers.
Overall a 8/10 day and excellent value for money course that is well managed and has all the facilities to make a great day out. I will definitely be back soon.

Without doubt the best public course in Surrey, I was one of the first people to play it some twenty five years when I was only twelve or so. The only changes to the course since then are the shortening of the first and some cutting back of rough to help speed of play.
It is quite a long course with individually created holes with very good use of the hilly terrain around Old Woking. I think the third is the hardest being over 440 yards dog leg to the left with a steep climb to the green and left to right camber. The green is small and flat but with rough and trouble all around.
The fifth is an elevated lovely tee with the green having a huge tree and bunker straight in line from the tee shot. This makes the approach if you want par hard as the green has a massive drop away both to the right and behind.
I agree that the 17th is a hard hole but the green does let the hole down being without any difficulty. I have played the course at least a hundred times and never seen anyone get on the green for two and I can hit close to 300 yards on a good day (with the wind behind me and luck!)

The only disappointment is the 18th which is a flat boring short par three to finish.
Over the last ten years a nice par three and nine hole par four have been added which together with a very nice clubhouse a large pro shop make it a great place to enjoy great value golf.

What a shocker played a society day was 5 hour round and with no dress codes people buying drinks at the bar with clubs on their backs serious golfers beware this is pay and play in it's true form!

Played this course yesterday and can honestly say it is one of the best pay and plays I have played. I have played Pine Ridge in Camberley a few times and it is woefully overplayed and in terrible condition - well Hoebridge is the antidote. In particular the pin positions yesterday really made you think and the greens weren't the usual flat affairs of other courses in the area.
