Cuddington Golf Club

Was invited to play this Harry Colt course. When entering the grounds it appeared as though the holes would be very similar with a lot of room on and off the fairways. But looks can be deceiving it turned out. The holes were quite different and although no stress off the tee, strategically placed shots were needed to get close to your hcp. Maintenance was excellent and greens fast but true. This is a course not many will play when visiting Surrey, but I do recommend giving this a try. Colt design and an affordable greenfee make this a solid choice for a fun round of golf.

Seguramente si vas a Surrey en viaje de golf ni siquiera se te va a pasar por la cabeza jugar Cuddington, pero debería repensarlo.

Campo diseño de Harry Colt (1929) que siempre es una garantía.

Al llegar lo primero que ves es la bonita casa club en forma de U con una gran terraza qcon vista al green del 18 y tres del 1 y 10.

Desde aquí el campo no parece gran cosa ya que hay 3 calles que corren paralelas 1/18/10 pero al empezar a jugar te das cuenta que el campo tiene su gracia.

Hoyos diferentes, bonitos pares 3, algunos greens muy movidos y con grandes zonas de escapada.

Los bunkers también resultan vistosos con sus elevados taludes.

Es un campo para salir a jugar y disfrutar, calles anchas para soltarse y dónde no intuyes demasiados peligros.

Una curiosidad es que arranca con dos pares 5 seguidos.

Lo dicho... una gran opción a considerar si no te quieres dejar una fortuna en greenfees en algunos de sus "vecinos".

Cuddington is a Harry Colt designed course that is often overlooked in the Trophy Courses studded county of Surrey. Playing another Colt classic, St. George's Hill in the AM before teeing off at Cuddington proved that the same designer can make two optically completely different courses. Cuddington is wide open with a couple of trees, hardly any heather and strategic bunkering.

The course starts with 2 consecutive par 5's and a long par 4 with 1516 yards the longest course-start in the UK. As noted earlier the course looks not really thrilling but when you play it you realise that it is great fun to play. The bunkers are placed well the greens need to be approached from the right angle and you definitely realise that the course is designed by one of the best architects the world has ever seen.

When we were finished the clubhouse was almost closed so we went to Epsom and had a perfect fish and chips at the Duke of Wellington pub, I can definitely recommend it.
