Chiltern Forest Golf Club
Played On 08/30/2023Always a Treat
I always look forward to playing Chiltern Forest, one of my favourite courses. The course is also gorgeous to look at with great views. As ever it was in immaculate condition throughout. It's a short course but because it's so hilly it feels much longer. For example the tricky 8th par 3 plays to a shallow green on a hillside ledge and measures just 132yds off the yellow tee but plays more like 180yds. One of many optical illusions that can catch you out. It's a compact course so in a few places you cross the fairways of other holes, if that doesn't bother you it's well worth a visit.
The clubhouse is excellent too with good local ale and food. We always notice a friendly atmosphere not only in the clubhouse but around the course too. I just wish it was closer!

Played On 11/18/2022Great holes and always good condition
Chose Chiltern Forest as always great condition and enjoy the varied challenging holes. After days of rain we picked a fine day and the course had drained very well. Greens really excellent considering conditions.
Not long but very hilly, you know you've played it!
Several holes cross each other but that's the only negative. Realistic price.
The bar sells wonderful Tring brewery beer too!
Oakland Park Golf Club
Played On 10/11/2021Always a Pleasure
It's always a pleasure to play Oakland which is invariably in good condition. It's very attractive with several water features and nice greens. It's mostly short but good use is made of doglegs. The last three holes are longer and more challenging, opening out like a 'big' course making for a satisfying finale.
The only real criticism is that the way to the next green is not always obvious and time can be wasted searching around. A few more signs would greatly improve the experience.

Played On 06/24/2021Quality Course
Not a long course but it looks long! Terrific condition with the best greens we've played on this year. Almost every hole looks gorgeous, many have long sweeping avenues of trees from high elevation tees.
Only downside is that it's tightly packed and was very busy, if you can accept that it's brilliant.
Lovely traditional clubhouse felt friendly and was still busy early evening when many other courses are closed due to lack of numbers.
We had a real bargain price of £16, unbelievable value for a course of this quality.

Played On 06/01/2017Awesome, if you're fit!
Although not long if the course was ironed out flat it would surely be championship length! It's very hilly and some holes cross other fairways. If you don't mind those negatives it is awesome, especially on a perfect day like ours was when there are picturesque views for miles, lovely peace and quiet with no road noise. Nearly every hole is a different challenge and all are in excellent condition. Very enjoyable.
