Lovely conditioned course, best I've seen it

Somehow manages to be good and disappointing all at the same time. NIce greens
Just can?t believe you?re in London!
A lovely scenic, tree lined golf course. You cannot believe that you?re in residential London. Very friendly staff throughout and course in really good condition.
Very well kept parkland course
The outer course (JH Taylor) is a real challenge at this very nice club. Despite the very dry summer, the course was in great shape and plays tough; typically the long par 4s play into the wind. There are only 2 par 5s but 5 par 3s of varying lengths. Well worth playing, particularly if you can get on with a member.
Lovely course under flight path
Clubhouse and course very good when we visited for a 9/11 charity golf day.
A good day out of the office!!
A four ball with old friends as part of a Charity Day auction "prize". All decided on the 18th

Probably the strongest run is from the 2nd to the 8th where a grand variety of trees border each of the holes.

Pre-Round Thoughts
Arriving at Royal Mid-Surrey certainly feels like an event. The club’s Royal credentials shine out at you as you swing in through intricately-wrought gates and progress down a stately bush- and tree-lined drive. If Augusta has magnolias, Royal Mid-Surrey has firs. The effect makes a statement before you’ve even checked in for your round.
Front 9 Overview
As I’ve pointed out, Royal Mid-Surrey is a stunning track, visually top of the class. The start is a little slow – a 225 yard par 3 offers a test fresh out the gate, but is otherwise not an especially memorable first hole. This quickly changes, however, when you step onto the 2nd tee and regard its successor.
Back 9 Overview
Strong as the front side is, Royal Mid-Surrey comes into its element around the turn. From the tee of the 10th hole, you can see the beautiful and historic King’s Observatory (also visible from the green of the 9th and the fairways of the 12th, 13th and 14th).
Post-Round Thoughts
Though the kitchen was closed by the time we finished, the bar was there to welcome us with open arms. Drinks were well-priced and the staff were polite and friendly, proving the relaxed atmosphere I’d experienced before the round wasn’t a one-off.
Verdict
All in all, then, Royal Mid-Surrey more than lives up to the stamp of Royal approval attested in its name. The club combines all the best parts of a traditional golfing experience – two ancient and distinguished courses, a grand history and plenty of pleasingly antique leather armchairs – with a sense of the new and the bold.
