At Chiddingfold you will find a pleasant and relaxing round of golf. I've played it about four times now and the great thing about it is that it doesn't seem to get too crowded (Great for beginners and us high handicappers who don't want to make our mistakes in front of a virtual gallery!)
On the face of it, it looks quite short, but it is no less challenging than a course 1,000 yards it's senior. The 9th and 11th Tees offer the chance to drive straight to stop short of greens around 300 yards downhill from the tees for a pitch to the greens over a ditch. My favourite hole has got to be the 15th. A par 4 dogleg left over a ravine, with water waiting to swallow a duffel shot. Catch it right though and it proves most satisfying (especially for left-handers with a slight slice!).
The clubhouse is comfortable with good 'pub-grub' and pleasant enough beer.

The staff in the Pro-shop are very welcoming and the course has stood up well to the wet weather of recent months. The card shows the course to be 5199 off the yellow tees and we all know short means easy!
Sorry to disappoint but it isn't. A bit of local knowledge is helpful as even on the first hole, a 475 yard par 5 you are hard pushed to keep the ball on the fairway.
The second hole is deceptively easy but trees ahead of the tee, trap the unwary and bunkers to the right beckon. The green is protected by two bunkers at the front with out of bounds menacingly close behind. This is only index 5.
The course continues like this with some very interesting holes. If you don't like deep gullies with trees left and right and a pond ready to collect loose shots you will not like the 14th. On the other hand if you hit a good straight shot slightly to the left, on this index 1 dogleg then a par is easily achievable.
The greens are receptive and very positive. You can go for it every time but the pin positions add an extra dimension.
Views from the 9th and 16 tees are spectacular and the clubhouse had a good range of quality food and good beers.
