Chesfield Downs - Hitchin

I had a fantastic experience at Chesfield Downs, as I visited for a tournament on Saturday.

The catering team went above and beyond to accommodate my halal dietary requirements. They were incredibly thoughtful, ensuring my meal was prepared in accordance with my needs. What stood out most was their consideration for my fasting—they timed the food preparation perfectly so it was ready just before I broke my fast. This level of attention and care truly made my visit special. A big thank you to the chef and team for their excellent service and hospitality!

Lovely gym facilities overlooking the course.
Plenty of parking, food is nice and always good for sneaky coffee.
9 hole par 3 is fun and the 18 is also a good challenge. Well looked after club

Do not become a member here!
I signed up on 29/09/23 on a 12 month membership and after I have completed the 12 months I went to request that my membership not renew.
I was told that I still had until May until I could cancel because the club run memberships May to May and as a result I still owed the club company over £500. At no point was I made aware of this until I tried to cancel. And this is not consistent with all membership types.
The general manager Chris was extremely rude calling me a lier and insinuating that I knew this and was just trying to cancel. I was offered a bucket of range balls as compensation but offering someone £13 but holding them to ransom for £500 is in my opinion very insulting.
You cannot get tee times on the weekend as it is always booked and even when you do manage to get a tee time other people are allowed to book on it so you can never just play a round as you like.
The gym facilities are sub par at best with the plunge pool out of order most of the time and the changing rooms not kept to a clean standard.
I have been a member here on multiple occasions since I was a child and never have I been so disappointed with the treatment of members. Absolute joke do not join!

Driving range is great with the screens and drinks area but why is there only option for large set of balls. Would like to use as warm up before 18 but dont have the time to go through 100 balls before going on the course plus ends up costing loads as well.

I love being a member here. The club is clean and tidy and all the staff are so nice.

Winter isn’t the best here as it needs more grass cover on the fairways. But in summer it’s great!! The course is maturing well. It’s still a young course. But see this place getting better and better every year I play. Worth the trip down. Twilight rates are best in the area.

I recently left a bad review about the lack of hot water, after weeks of everyone complaining, they finally shelled out for a new boiler rectifying the situation. So i removed my review..
But i alao mentioned the lack of hygiene. This has now reached fully unacceptabe standards.
There is now some sort of worm infestation in the steam room, this is the last straw. This is a £56 a month gym, which tries to portray itself as a premium health club.. it is far from it..
I think my pictures tell the story..
Not only the worms, the spa is filthy, the showers are filthy, changing area and toilets are all disgusting. They just dont clean, we hardly ever see a cleaner and it shows..
Blood on walls for ages, mould, broken ceramic tiles ready to slice your ankle.
Iv had enough, they just dont care about the members, as long as we keep paying the membership, nothing will happen.. i know alot of people have left already..
This is a shame as the gym people are great, the location is great, its all just let down by bad management and obvious cost cutting...

Edit... since this the new manager has done lots to fix everything and improve cleanliness..

Wedding venue and Golf and country club. Such a good events team here. The brides and groom had a wonderful day and I was their photographer. Lovely views and the tram will drive you to the lake for photographs of you wish. Ceremony room is s a little small upstairs but the reception room is large and light filled and makes a lovely vibe.
