Challenging course, but felt very run-down. Bunkers and greens in particularly poor condition, with badly maintained sand, lots of stones mixed in and lumpy greens.
Had the best autumn experience here last week. The turf is sensational, the views even better, the golf architecturally excellent. The 14th a jaffer of a short 4 that epitomises the fantastic use of the land

A Harry Colt masterclass, Denham is a remarkable club with its own train station and a clubhouse dining room adorned with stuffed animals. The course is superb, with every tree seemingly in the perfect position, strategically placed bunkers ready to catch wayward shots, and fairways and greens that run true and fast. What really sets Denham apart, though, are its outstanding green sites. Upturned bowls, false fronts and subtle undulations create a wonderful challenge, testing even the finest golfers. Denham is a course full of character, strategic brilliance and architectural charm, offering so much to appreciate.

The best course for customer service. The most attentive and thoughtful front of house I have ever met. If you get a chance to stay at the dormy house, do not pass it up, as it a golfing experience like no other.

You will not be disappointed. Bucket list experience. Great views

A charming little links course with a few nice quirky holes but played in a very compact area (a lot like Crail). May be manageable with controlled numbers but like many have been tempted by the $ and cramming as many people as they possibly can into that small parcel of land which makes for a painfully slow and dangerous experience as you weave your way up and down the parallel fairways. Expect a lot of waiting on tees and shouts of fore as balls whistle past your head.

Such a visually pleasing place to play, elevation change and clean, clear presentation make it very easy on the eye. Incredible selection of par threes, and teasing short 4s, incredibly well conditioned on the day we played in September
Played here regularly for 30 years and it has never been better. The Clyde Johnson restoration is incredible. The snooker room and locker room are old school cool and the management deserve a lot of plaudits for getting a lot of long term decisions spot on

Fantastic course to play. Not easy but not unfair. The green staff take great pride in making this a 12 month of the year course and the members recognise this as extremely valuable. Conditions are excellent to play no matter the time of year. The course is a little hidden in Ayrshire’s big boys but once you find it you will want to play again. The team in the pro shop will take great care of you and the food and the catering team are just what you need after a round here.

The greens make this a very memorable course.

It's undergoing a transition which is improving the golf course significantly. The design has always been solid but the condition of the fairways and bunkers have only improved in the last couple of years. Another that I suspect will climb soon!.
Chris Myatt
Much improvement happening - I suspect this will climb quickly once completed.
