Great value for money.

Great value for money. Very hilly. Two holes in particular have the slope running across the fairway which really hurts my ankles. The ball also runs across the slope regardless of how good or bad your drive might be. The walk from the lower two holes on the course to the seventh tee is particularly demanding uphill.
The grass on the greens is fairly coarse and not cut very short making the greens relatively slow. The fairways on some of the holes are tight and it is necessary to drive accurately on these holes.
I would play the course again, ( but not rush back ) because it represents great value for money and a challenge. I would like to see how it plays in the Summer. I wouldn’t recommend the course to my friends as some of them might find the vagaries too much to bear.

Headley pursuit

Picturesque surroundings with some lovely, tricky, tight holes - the spectacular viaduct tees on 4 are a gem! Fantastic swanky club house/function venue and well kept course with many improvements still ongoing. Leg burner hills, little confusing hole by hole at first (some more signage please) and maybe not to the taste of long drive belters but I'll definitely be back(perfect for twilight 9s) Very friendly host and members, slightly slow in their senior years but happy to allow playing through. Give it a try for as little as £8.99 on golfnow 👍🏻

Cheap and cheerful

Only discovered this course recently, I’ve been missing out, for a nine hole course it has its challenges, greens in good condition, fairways plenty of life, and for the money excellent value, will definitely play here again 🏌️‍♂️

Snobby place for what it was

Was a nice course and great for golfers who are experienced but if you are not and you are sort of in a phase of trying to increase difficulty of course I wouldn’t recommend. We were looked down on heavily by groundsman and they were watching our every swing putting us off playing properly.

Perfect weather
Walked

Great scenery, hidden challenges.

Although only a 9 hole course, Headley provides plenty of variety, esp if you do 18 holes with varied tees on some holes changing how the course plays on the back 9.
This is extremely competitively priced for 18 holes (in fact I don't think it can be beaten locally).
The course is in great condition and the greenskeeper has done a superb job noting the wet weather over the last few months. What's more he was incredibly friendly and chatty when I played and chatted to me about the course - a total credit to Headley golf course.
The actual course, being split on 2 levels does demand a degree of fitness and stamina!! That said you will be rewarded with some great scenery and challenging holes. Teeing off between the arches of a viaduct is not something most golfers will do. The course is not the flattest so be prepared for your ball to roll down quite a lot (though adds to the complexity of the round). All in all great value, great scenery and a great workout!
Finally, a nod to the lady in the Clubhouse, warm and friendly greeting received, good instructions for a first-time player on the course layout.

A little gem

Played Headley on a Saturday afternoon and was surprised it was so quiet as it’s great value for money m. A lovely course in good condition with some really interesting holes , and tee locations. The sound of the tee shot underneath the viaduct was amazing

I am here all week and sure to pay another visit

Thank you

Incredible value beautiful setting

Don’t let that one bad review put you off. This is a lovely little 9 holer in a really nice setting and for £10 a round you can’t beat it. It’s pretty holly mind. Lovely par 3s and not too easy.

Good course, tough to get around

The first 3 holes are very nice holes. You then have to go down a very rugged track to play 4,5,6 and 7 and back up the rugged track for holes 8 and 9. Only £10 and worth the money though

Nice Course, Poor Service from Manager

I have played Headley a number of times & always enjoyed it. However, this review relates to an off the course experience while attending a Christmas Fayre at the venue, reference to staff relates to catering/Management, not the golf team. The food was undercooked & when this was politely flagged the Manager/Organiser was exceptionally rude & insisted that our party leave immediately. This was unbelievably poor customer service, he wouldn't even listen to our viewpoint. We were not the only people complaining & his attitude was appalling. Due to this I will not visit Headley again, this is a crying shame as the club deserve better than this.

Great 9 hole course - not for the feigns hearted

Compact 9 hole course with some really unusual holes. Only 4 groups out on the course so made good progress. Really glad to have found it. One note of caution - it is very up and down and if you struggle physically you will need a buggy. All in all a very pleasant afternoon rounded off with a couple of drinks in the very impressive clubhouse.
