During normal times this is one of the best club lounges in the area. Yesterday we were looking for a venue for a wake. None of the pubs were available. However we were told that the manager could be contacted to see if anything could be arranged. We await the conversation later today.
Great day of golf at Chelsfield Lakes .Right from the friendly helpful staff to the condition of the course, it was a fun experience and of course wonderful to swing a club again.
Held birthday party in function room overlooking the course with view of downs in the distance. We had a sit down meal of roast beef which was top quality and cooked to absolute perfection. The house Malbec was excellent and complemented the beef wonderfully well. Non beefeaters had salmon and house pinot, which was also well received. Staff and service were great throughout. Small kids were able to play on the putting green outside the function room. Bigger kids had a go on the driving range. In brief, we had a fantastic party here, and highly recommend the venue and staff for making this an unforgettable event.
Bit breezy sometimes and the power pylons can be a distraction, but otherwise is a pleasant course. Bit of water here and there to try and avoid. Not too slopey.
Good service in pro shop, excellent mats on driving range. Greens very good. Tough especially in the wind and friendly bar service. Staff on a mission!
The greens on this course are awful. The warm weather will of course make the fairways a challenge but there s no excuse to have greens with sections you d be better off chipping over (Hole 5), holes in them from birds we think (several but 17th) and small weeds you have to putt over (several but 18th for reference).
At these green fees, there s got to be better options.
32 degrees when we played last Saturday and we only saw the drinks cart when we were approaching the 17th green. They d be better off parking at one central spot.
The starter was friendly and knowledgeable so they get an extra star for him but I won t be back.
Great course with fabulous views for intermediate golfers. Sub 12 handicap golfers may find it too easy.
Nice course not too demanding.freundly staff.will go there again.
Wonderful day great service from everyone well done Chelsfield Lakes
Very satisfied at the servicesground a bit under parr but due to hot weather understandable
Considering recent weather course was in good condition
I only visited the clubhouse but it looked a nice course in good condition.
Love it here, great course and friendly staff. Nice day on the course
Greens ropey...It needed a Marshall with crazy waiting for the slow ignorant 4 balls to allow 2 balls to play through.
But still a pleasant course to play
Nice easy and forgiving course. Good facilities, range, pro shop, club house etc and the staff are great. However, I know it s 2020, and golf is and should be an inclusive game, but there is no reason for anyone to play the game with their top off or wearing jeans and a t-shirt. I do not care about your background, it s just good manners. Also litter is a problem. Seeing bottles of beer thrown in bushes when there is a bin on nearly every hole, is just the height of ignorance. This isn t the clubs fault I guess but maybe some warning signs and threats of banning people from the course might be worth considering. Overall though, lucky to have this on the door step but I d never become a member unless they addressed some of those issues!
brilliant really recommend the teaching my son has had from Steve
Love this place only just started up golf again and enjoy the course so much lovely fairways and great helpful staff would definitely recommend this to a friend
The course plays very well, very good for high handicappers and it s maintain to a good standard. The staff are split 50/50 between those who understand how customer service works and genuinely do a good job and others that are far too lippy and seem to forget the customer pays the course therefore keeping them in a job. They need not look any further than Kent to see golf courses are tumbling down. Being polite costs nothing and may just keep you in a job.
Range facilities are in desperate need of refurbishment. Playing many other courses around Kent, Chelsfield is drastically behind here. The chipping area and putting greens however are up there with the best of the many courses I have played.
Sadly the main let down for a lot of courses and in particular this one, is the staff attitude. I wouldn t play the course again based on the attitude of those behind the pro shop counter.
So good to play a course not ankle deep in mud! Very enjoyable morning.
Good course, good pro shop, friendly bar staff,choice of snacks/food
Yes noce guys and a good course at a reasonable price
A friendly place with a nice range and a good value golf course. Not hard and not long to walk.
Excellent course, blowing an absolute gale and still played well. Excellent social distancing, still very busy but 4hrs for a 4ball Greens were OK at best, some actually quite poor
Played here twice. 1st time was ridiculously slow play. 2nd time the play was a decent pace, but it was on a Monday morning. Course is maintained very well and low scores very feasible
Gd golf course and staff couldn't fault it in any way
Average but pricey course and run down driving range (mean range mats like concrete). Car Wash is a bit in your face on arrival. Staff seem arrogant, seem to want to make fun of you on arrival and will not hesitate to get cheeky. The cheap Cray Valley Courses are better.
Think the club house and bar area just looks really grubby, could do with an update. Food was nice though.
Warm, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Course drains well and plays well after heavy rain the day before.
Nice shop and driving range, can't comment on the course as it's been a while since I played the full 18 here
Fairways and greens in very good condition... A short course but racing for all handicappers
My son has golf lessons with Steve one of the pro he is very good my son loves golf thanks to him
Great 18 hole course. Back 9 a bit easier than the front 9. Nice bar which serves food all day.
Great place to play specially with a the restriction
My daughter was married at Chelsfield Golf Club this weekend we also held her reception there. We had a great time the food was very nice and the staff were excellent Thank you every one for making her day a memorable one.
Good facilities nice clubhouse friendly staff pro shop very extensive staff very helpful and something becoming rare they smile buggies in nice condition course good 4/5. Greens true
Booked a surprise 40th party for wife on 23rd November.
Wonderful experience working with the team. All of them so enthusiastic and warm. They helped with decorations.. trying some new things during the party.
I was never rushed or pushed to make decisions.
Communications was excellent. All written and clear.
All queries were resolved swiftly.
Food was very tasty and allergies were well catered for.
It was a successful event .. so I will highly recommend this venue
One of my favourite places everyone there acts as a friend
Great for winter golf, quiet long with a certain degree of difficulty. A good test.
fun course, lots of apples to deal with on the floor
We went there to get the car washed, at the end of the day, after the school pick up.
They did a fine job. It was cold but they did not rush the job and were polite.
It was better priced than Olleys car wash in Orpington. The staff were more polite at the Chelsfield Lakes Golf course car wash.
The only problem was, there is no where warm to stay, while they cleaned the car. Minor problem.
That is my experience, see what you think.!!!
Great little course forgiving but you need to think your way around it if you want a good round driving range good , Staff very welcoming
Great venue for a family function. Nice views, good staff and well stocked bar. Catering was creative and met varied tastes. Views from the corner room of the golf course helped too.
Played here in December greens ok but the fairways were water logged in many places but the the Christmas dinner was great
Shortish course giving lots of opportunity to score when taking irons off the tee. Driving range is decent too.
Great views, good overall course some greens look tired
We attended a private function on 22/03/18, we were in the small room at the front which was very comfortable & just right for a small gathering. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The only thing that let this establishment down was the food my husband & I had the roast dinner I had beef he had chicken the roast potatoes were not well done they were burnt black & there were no trimmings with the roasts no Yorkshire pudding or any horseradish sauce / mustard to go with the beef & no stuffing with the chicken, gravy was already added to our plated meal not everyone likes gravy. Our starters & desserts were of an acceptable standard.
The course was in really good condition, although it felt like it was a slow round it didn't turn out to be.
Good golf course for beginners and high handicap player's
Fun challenging 9 hole, long varried 18 and an above average driving range all in all a good club
Given the current circumstances the course was in excellent condition and the staff were willing and helpful as always
Very boggy following recent heavy rain. Greens a bit grim fairways good. Bunkers that weren't flooded were well maintained.
Great help accommodating my family golf day, first time out for my daughter and my son had a good round too. Thanks
Lovely setting. Celebrating a Diamond Wedding Anniversary. Food was fresh and hot, only comment was that the cake dessert had been cut earlier as it was a bit dry in places. Staff serving and behind bar very friendly and efficient. Would recommend for small gatherings
Nice course and not too difficult. They let way too many people on the course at weekends and with no Marshall's on the course we were stuck behind a clueless 4 ball holding up multiple groups.
First time at a range, loved it will definitely be back.
Greens are in a great condition and very receptive.
Staff were friendly, breakfast and coffee were both nice and I played great despite the strong wind.
My only small criticism was the bunkers, pretty much all the ones I saw had some quite large and sharp stones in them. Luckily I only ended up in 1 fairway bunker and the ball was sitting up; I was worried I'd damage my clubs.
I would still come back as the course has an interesting layout, especially the front 9.
We visited for a wedding anniversary. Great good, good ambiance and friendly staff
Quite lush considering we've had hardly any rain! Shortish course with its own little challenges. We generally play very well here and score big Stamford wise.. early 30s to early 40s off 7 so good score to be had indeed.. food is a good standard too..
Great course, challenging but pleasant, with a driving range
Course was in great condition. Fairways like walking on carpet. Greens quick and true. Not long but doglegs demand precision and careful consideration of options off the tee. Will definitely return.
