Chartham Park - East Grinstead

Darren G.

The East Grinstead Business Association recently held its annual Golf Day on behalf of The Greenaway Foundation at Chartham Park Golf And Country Club. Although the weather did its absolute best to dampen spirits the team at Chartham Park did an absoulte amazing job. Nothing was too much trouble, they change arrangements to accommodate the weather and always on hand to help with everything.

As novice golfer the course was really good and challenging, and although water logged we were able to get round in pretty good time.

We would highly recommend the Chartham Park for its facilities and the team for being so upbeat and accommodating.

I have been a member at Chartham for around three years with my son. The only reason I still go to Chartham is because the other gyms in the area do not offer a pool, easy parking and kids classes . Chartham park would never get away with what they charge if there was another club alike to theirs locally, they only get away with it because most of the others in east Grinstead are ‘high street gyms’ rather than a health club like Chartham, however they do not keep the facilities up to standard.
Definitely not work the £130 a month .
The gym equipment is frequently out of order, the equipment is old, the classes are always fully booked, the pool floor has so many missing tiles and cracks, if the steam room is working you can guarantee that the jacuzzi or sauna will be broken, the shower pool side is always broken , the jacuzzi has rust marks everywhere, the showers in the changing room are disgustingly dirty, cold and weak, the toilets are always dirty, when you order food you could be waiting an hour, the water fountains are warm water, the driving range ball machine never works, the staff are over worked and under paid and in general the entire club looks tired

Awesome golf course, challenging with a number of features and a lot of bunkers, but greens were fast and relatively true. One of the best courses in the area. Staff were brilliant too, very helpful and welcoming. Only popped up for a midweek twilight round but will be back.

I have been coming here for so many years, I pay about £115 a month after numerous price increases. The management is nothing short of terrible, the gym is small and often crowded, the tiling in the pool is torn to shreds, the wet facilities are often out of use, the classes are always fully booked, the food wait time is around an hour, showers come out like a cold dribble if you time your visit wrong and any complaints fall on deaf ears. The real issue here is after years of complaints from so many members (check their facebook comments) they do absolutely nothing to resolve any of the issues or their sub par facilities . Instead they invest into building a new pergola out back taking up the very little outside space for absolutely no reason at all?

I am a member and regularly use Nizels gym and spa facilities which are superb! I used Chartham Park as a one off whilst Nizels do some maintenance on the spa and pool area. Chartham park is extremely average. The gym equipment is old, not maintained and rusty. The changing rooms feel neglected. The whole place needs updating and a good clean, especially when you charge a premium price.

The golf course is in great shape, fairways and greens are in first class condition. Unfortunately the bunkers do not match the quality of the rest of the course. Rain on Thursday clearly hadn't helped and many bunkers were full of water and that suggests poor drainage and heavy soil underneath. The sand in the bunkers that had no water was very heavy and there was no depth to it. Moral of the story enjoy a great course in great condition at the moment and stay out of the bunkers.

Such a beautiful club & the staff bend over backwards to make it a great place to go. Like every club it’s got some areas that are due developing but the golf course is stunning & me, my son & my wife love our gym & swim visits!

Really lovely course. The greens are fantastic. The course is very well laid out. The clubhouse is excellent with gym and pool.
