Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had my husband’s 80th birthday lunch at Burstead on 2nd February. Food was delicious and the attention from the staff excellent. A really friendly place for a celebration. Particular thanks to Andy and Dino for their help with organising the lunch for our 40 guests making it a memorable occasion. Thank you all once again.

I compliment the Burstead ground staff who have managed to keep the course in great condition despite the recent bout of terrible weather we have had. The course is in great condition and the greens are superb and very true. There are grounds people constantly attending to the course to keep it in good condition and the hard work is really paying off.

Course has been really well maintained throughout the year and the greens have been SUPERB!. Good to see that the club are putting the membership fees back into investing in the club. Staff are very welcoming and the whole team put you at ease. Staff like Lewis and Pippa are really engaging and friendly. Glad to be a 7 day member at the club and having the ability to have joined in social events like the weekly Moonshiners that happens in the summer weeks (every Thursday). Food is always good and very reasonably priced.

Played on Thursday 21st October 2021. 18 holes on a new course for us. Poor conditions underfoot after overnight rain was compounded by a surprise Buggy and trolly ban. Even with a stripped-down cart bag that was tough and scores reflected that. The fact that unlike other courses nearby the gravel path doesnt extend beyond the tee down the side of the fairways makes poor conditions worse. We had already booked and paid otherwise we would have probably gone elsewhere. The club shop had snacks and there was a restaurant/bar where you could get hot drinks. We found navigation around the course a little complicated at times and overall the course was quite uninspiring and unwelcoming. The electronic gate was easy to access on entry but an unobvious keypad code to exit.

After playing here many times before (and considering membership) I was very disappointed Thursday evening when after playing the first 9, two 4 balls started playing 9 holes on the back 9 ! I later found out that it was a regular competition by why not, as usual etiquette play the front 9? Or, when we paid why wasn't we told? We could have started the back 9 first (unless WE would have held someone up) ! Yes members should get perks, but a warning or closing the course to non members would be a good idea!

Dear Lynn O,
Firstly may I offer my personal apology for the service you received in which we clearly failed to meet your expectation however we do value your comments and appreciate the time you have taken in providing this feedback and as such we would very much welcome the opportunity to furnish a better service and improved impression.
As you quite rightly pointed out, we run a members fun event every Thursday which runs for approximately 20 weeks. Under normal etiquette, our tee times are structured to ensure ALL play commences from the first tee however under the 9 hole “Moonshiners” event, members are encouraged to record scores on the front and back 9 for their season eclectic scores. We regret that you were not informed of this. We have planted a lot of signage on the course with both 1st and 10th tees boasting a sign offering right of way for anyone on the course. As such those on the 10th should stand down allowing those on the course courtesy. Once again we offer our apologies for this not being enforced during your visit.
In view of the service you received we would like to invite you back to the course by way of courtesy in recognition of our commitment to improving your impression of our club. Should this be of interest to you please contact Chris Nunn 01277 631171 in order to reserve your tee time.
We thank you once again for your comments and trust our actions have gone some way to meting your expectations of our business.
Yours sincerely,
Chris Nunn

Director of Golf

Never been here before but it was just the perfect place to hold the wake for our family member. The food was plentiful, with more than enough to go around, the service at the bar excellent and with a comfortable relaxed environment to mix and chat with everyone. Highly recommend.

Andy, Dino, Lucy and the kitchen staff made a memorable day extra special. During the run up to the lunch Andy and his team were totally supportive even reacting to change of guests and menu choices in a calm way. Theresa M was also most helpful producing a professional table plan and organising flowers for the tables and for the main guests. The guests enjoyed prosecco on arrival followed by an excellent menu which everyone enjoyed. One guest so liked the soup he wanted the recipe.
We arranged a menu of four choices for each course and the guests provided their selection in advance. This helped the kitchen staff and even when some guests requested gluten free Andy responded in a totally calm manner.
It was a wonderful day, despite the snow, and at the time of our arrival and during the lunch Andy was able to play our favourite tunes quietly in the background.
Thanks to everyone at The Burstead for making our Golden Wedding Day celebration with friends very, very special.

I live just up the road from this wonderful golf course but never got round to joining as a member.
Came here for a day out with some friends. Superb course although the front nine a little easy. Back nine a little more challenging.
Great surroundings, wonderful scenery and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Bar/Restuarant excellent.
Will definitely be back with some friends in the spring.

We had a Xmas lunch for twenty people.The conservatory was beautifully decorated and with a real fire, Really seasonal. The tables were beautifully laid with nice linen etc.
The food was of a high standard and everyone remarked how good it was. The duck was cooked beautifully and very moist, The cheeseboard was on individual plates with a good selection on each. Not one grumble from the group.
Good facilities for those with mobility issues as it is one level. Really friendly staff.

Played here last Friday in a society function. the course was immaculate, one of the best I have seen for a while. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. We had hospitality coffee and bacon rolls before teeing off and ham egg and chips on return. All prepared fresh and with a smile. The food and general hospitality was good. An old fashion type club but with gated access so privacy. Plenty of parking, well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Hi Guys is there much work going on on the course at the moment that would affect play. I'm playing on Thursday 11 April. Thanks in advance .
Written 6 April 2019
Hi Lee. We are currently playing the 18th Green as a shortened hole due to extensive lake works being carried out. Please see our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages for progress.
The works may effect the 9th hole pending on progress attained.
The rest of the course is playing nicely.
Please feel free to contact the pro shop on 01277631171 ext1 if you have any further questions.
We look forward to welcoming you and hope you enjoy your time here. #golow
