Strawberry Hill Golf Club - Est 1900
Info correct at last date played: 31st October 2003
Review Rating - Bronze
Not a long nine hole course
in total but does have some long par 3's.
You start with a par 5 that bends slightly left to right, this gives you an opportunity
to get off to a good start, then comes the three in a row Par 3's all over 200
yards!
The first of the par 3's is probably the best looking from the tee with trees
obscuring the view of the green.
The par 4's on this course really do give you a birdie
opportunity as they are not very long, but they still require an accurate approach,
the 7th in particular has a well guarded green.
Overall the course was in good condition, the greens in particular were very
well kept and well guarded with humps & bumps all around them.
Favourite Hole
Hole
7: 335 yard par 4.
Not a long par 4 and quite straight too but we
liked the approach shot into the green. You have a bunker with a large
face in front of the green urging you not to come up short and the houses
behind make you think twice about being long.

I have played here a quite few times and every time I play it is always the same beautiful course, so green and pleasant, every time. The green keepers and all the staff do a wonderful job.

One of the nicest courses in West London
Submitted by Luca Deponti on 29/04/2003.
It is by no means a very pleasant golf club. It is extremely convenient located for people who live in central London. The course is always well maintained in all weather conditions. I played several times now and I think is perfect golf course to practice medium and short shots investing less then two hours of time. The atmosphere is very friendly and informal: there are also classes for children who make it even more pleasant and familiar.

A fool and their money are soon parted! This course, which I admit is nicely maintained, is nothing more than a pitch and putt. The golf, food and drink, lessons, range and pro's shop are all at premium prices (more than Wentworth for some things!).
