I thought Mill Ride was an excellent course and not just because they allow visitors on a Sunday!

The course is demanding due to its length and the excellent bunkering and use of trees. In particular I loved the par-3s with the 3rd hole and the last par 3 (the 15th?) being fantastic. The 8th was too short off the yellows but would be a proper hole off the whites.

The whole course looked well maintained and the clubhouse was attractive and welcoming.

I would definitely return.

I played Mill Ride in May 2006 and I must say what a course! The greens are in excellent condition with lush fairways and plenty of fairway bunkers/ water hazards. It's long but very interesting which makes for a very enjoyable round of golf. The staff are friendly and helpful with good facilities.

My wife won a round for 2 @ Mill Ride in a Charity Auction, so her Father and myself took the oppourtunity to see what all the fuss is about. We played in March 2006 and the course was in excellent condition. The clubhouse and pro shop staff were very helpful, and the bacon rolls were not to shabby either :-) 1st is a cracking Par 5 that lets you open your shoulders straight away. From then on the course was a pleasure to play. Even though we were in March and it had rained heavily a for a few days before, the greens were in superb condition and very fast. Had a nice Eagle on the 5th, with a drive, 4 Iron and Putt. The holes and setting makes you want to play well. We are planning a return trip in the summer when all the trees will be out in bloom, which will make it even more attractive. One of the most enjoyable rounds of golf I have played in a long time. Get along and see for yourselves.

I played here in Sept 2005 with as I am looking for a new club to join in the area. I really enjoyed the course generally. I played off the white tees which made it long(ish) and had a good variety of open and tight holes. The greens were pretty quick with some tricky pin positions the day I played. As a visitor I would thoroughly recommend it - well worth a look.

A few slight moans would be

1.The Tees NEED improving in places one or two were really scruffy.

2. I got held up 12 - 18th behind a group of 4 who just would not yield - not the clubs fault I realise.

3. Halfway house was closed (Saturday daytime).

The ownership of the club seems to have swapped hands a few times and it shows in my opinion. The Clubhouse has seen better days - changing rooms why do people smoke in there??????????

On the upside there does seem to be a lot of energy going into the club however with a new clubhouse planned etc. If/when this happens I am sure it will eventually make this a first class venue the marketing and brochures suggest it already is ;-)

Simply sensational. Exclusive and Illusive. Hopefully they'll keep it that way.

What a test.

What an awesome test of Golf. Close on 7000 yards of Parkland/Links Golf which tests every aspect of your game. The course punishes poor shots and rewards great ones (as a course should be). Somewhat exclusive, but very welcoming all the same. A great design (par 72) with awesome par 5's on the 1st, 10th and 18th especially. The 17th is a magnificent par 4 which plays close on 500 yards and has water in play for both the tee and approach shots. The 2nd is the most demanding par 4 you'll play off the backs. A 250 carry on the optimum line over water - you better be a big hitter. In summary, magnificent condition, super fast greens, gorgeous location next to Wentworth, Sunningdale, and the Berkshire in Ascot, exclusive membership but very welcoming. Only downsides, Tee Boxes are not all as perfect as the rest of the course, and the changing rooms are a tad dated and small.

Get a chance, go play it, but beware if you are a high handicapper, the course will win!
