Cherwell Edge Golf Club

Cold round of golf, ground was frozen so hard to get the Tee's in the ground. Made for an interesting round. Had to change my normal round and adapt to the frozen ground ball bouncing all over the place some times higher than a house. but really enjoyed it non the less.

A lovely parkland course tucked away off the beaten track. The staff member in the pro's shop was really helpful. We arrived later than our intended booking, due to congestion in London, on a warm summers evening. The course was busy, but he still managed to accommodate the 3 of us by getting us out on the back 9. At £20 each, playing 9 holes was still great value.
The course was in good condition, with plenty of technical holes. Club selection and ball position for the 2nd shot more of a consideration, than just hitting it long. A few blind shots, so playing with a member the first time would help.
Excellent hole description boards on each tee, plenty of golf ball washes and rubbish bins.
Could maybe do with some "To the next Tee >" signs for the benefit of guests.
Due to finishing late in the evening we didn't get a chance to use the off course facilities. There's a covered driving range and the clubhouse with terrace looks nice.
Given the opportunity, all 3 of us will play there again.

Well enjoyed game of golf, friendly staff.
Turned up early and allowed to tee off early by proshop.
Course we'll looked after for what you pay, greens a bit lumpy in places from the worms but couldn't be helped.
Really quiet and not rushed in the slightest.

I called the course in the morning and booked a tee time for a single golfer in a buggy with my dad caddying for me, great. We arrived to find it was very busy with 5+ groups of 4 balls in front of us. If the person who took my call had thought about my request maybe a warning would have been offered to say it was going to be very slow, a single golfer in a buggy isn’t the best idea unless you have time.

The course itself isn’t in very good nick, fairways like rough greens like fairways. Definitely not worth the money.

We eventually got through 9 holes and though no this is horrendous so went back into the shop to see if we could do the other 9 holes with the buggy on another day that’s not so busy. I was told no I booked for 18 so I must pay for 18. I explained the situation but fell to deaf ears.

All in all, overpriced, unkept and unfriendly place! Won’t be coming back.

Front and back nines completely different. Front 9 quite long and back nine more picturesque and sloping.
Very friendly staff
Would be great if clubhouse was open

We found that the course overall was in a good condition, greens were cut shorter than earlier in the spring and played very consistently. Only thing that we would gripe about is the condition of the fairways, they could do with a cut , but that may be because the course is still operating with a skeleton staff numbers due to covid and the recent wet weather.

Nice day out, local for me but had a good game of golf with friends. Course in good condition and food was lovely.

1st time on the course and was greeted by thick fog on 1st hole.Fortunately I drove down middle.
Fog cleared after 2 holes and we then discovered a great course.Most holes were of a good distance and gave you an opportunity of par which is nice.
Signs need to be better to guide you of next hole and also guidance of course lay out.
Front and back nine are so different which is good.
We paid £20 which gave us 18 holes plus £5 behind bar which was good value.
Loved cherwell edge and will be back!

Excellent course with some interesting holes. Course in good condition for the time of year.

Good friendly staff and an enjoyable day.

Great value for money and would recommend to others

Overall the course was in excellent condition with the greens running true although could be a little faster but only a minor gripe. It represents great value and certainly one of the better courses in the Banbury region.

The front and back nine are opposites with the front nine playing as a typical parkland layout, however, as you cross the road to the lengthy par 3 11th the course takes on a more undulating terrain with emphasis on club selection and accuracy off the tee which features shorter holes than the front but makes for an enjoyable course to test your game.

I've played this course several times and really enjoy it.

The course offers a nice balance whereby the Front-9 has a few longer holes the require a bit of distance and accuracy off the tee to set up a mid-iron approach to the green in comparison to the shorter Back-9 where course management is rewarded, there are also a couple of Par-4s that can be reached by the longer (and accurate) hitter.

The staff at Cherwell have always been very friendly and offer a warm welcome to all visitors. The facilities are very good, there is a floodlit driving range (lessons available), putting green, Pro Shop and the usual Club House facilities.

My only criticism would be the pace of play, the course is well used by members and you can sometimes find yourself stuck behind a 4-ball for a few holes before they consider letting you play through. Saying that, even with the hold up you are still almost guaranteed to get around in a fairly decent time.

I played early Feb and the course was very wet due to heavy rain the night before. The club does take very good care to maintain the course all year round and unless there is a heavy frost the main greens will be in play. Given the time of year the course was in good condition, a few astroturf tee boxes were in play. Should you venture down in the summer months the course is generally in immaculate condition 7 days a week.

I would definitely recommend this course, it offers a unique challenge to golfers of all levels and will test all facets of your game which is why I enjoy going back.
