For my Golf Course Review I have just started playing this wonderful game and this is by far my favourite course near to where I live. It is now in the hands of Cowdray Park Golf Course and things are improving greatly since they took over. When you arrive there is ample parking. The log cabin clubhouse which replaces the old clubhouse is welcoming. Take time to look at the album of old pics showing the state of the course when the new regime came in and look at the pics of the course which show what improvements have been made. Now make your way, past the putting green to the 1st tee. A challenging par 4 awaits you. The fairways are in briliant shape for the time of year. The greens are running very well and true. The rough is fair and is well managed by the new team. For me it's a lovely course which challenges me at my stage and offers a good challenge for all golfers. A highlight for me is the 16th which starts at the top of a hill and meanders down to a green which is blind from view as its around 40 foot below in a valley. It makes me want to play it again and again. It is great value for money, and I urge you to visit especially when the sunny warmer weather comes. I have now joined as a gold card member which represents brilliant value at £250, to play Chiddingfold and Cowdray for half price green fees, and also special deals all year. Well done and hats off to you Cowdray for saving this special course.

This course used to be beautiful. My friends and I played it regularly and it was worth the drive to get there, but clearly it has fallen on hard times and the ownership seems to be doing very little to resolve it.

They sold the clubhouse as a private residence, but I guess that the debts were already so big that there was no money left to spend, because clearly they haven't invested in the course in a VERY, VERY long time.

The fairways hadn't been cut in forever. The greens look like they have been treated for moss or weeds, but no seed has been planted so they are very bare. The bunkers not only hadn't been raked in months, but they didn't actually have any rakes in them either. The 18th as mentioned is a work in progress but was supposed to be finished last summer, so there really is no excuse.

The reason one of the other reviewers maybe thought that the greens had been used for chipping is that was likely the only way to get around the the mounds of dirt and rabbit holes that existed on pretty much every green.

The owner needs to take a hard look at his thought processes. Instead of sitting in his new little clubhouse, maybe he should install an honesty box and ask people to pay what they feel it is worth, and be honest about the condition of the course when you make a reservation (which he wasn't despite saying he was when my buddy made the reservation). He could install a little cooler outside with an honesty box and a price list there, and even do the same in the club house for balls and stuff to make a bit of extra cash.

That way he could actually be out on the course mowing the firways, tending the greens, etc instead of pracing around in his slacks and pringle sweater. It aint gonna fix itself, he is going to have to find a way to be more creative, but I fear he has simply thrown in the towel.

I did hear he wants to lease it for 40,000GBP a year, but you will need many times that to invest in the repairs, maybe even close it for a season to give it recovery time. Maybe he should lease it for a buck, and let the new lessor rent for a couple of years free to rebuild.
