Great course in the Berkshire area

The day I played this course was started with torrential rain and heavy wind by the time we teed off the rain had stopped and the course was in great condition under the circumstances. The greens were immaculate and ran true. I didn't have any clubs and shared my friends as all the hire clubs were already out(if you are wanting to hire perhaps ring ahead). The pro shop staff were very helpful and even let me borrow an umbrella. The front eight are quite hilly and technical and the back nine is a more parkland layout. Myself and playing partner really enjoyed this course but I would recommend a buggy if you find walking a regular course tiring. The walks between some of the hole are sizeable.

You'll need a buggie

A decent course but a very long course. Ridiculous amount of walking between some holes. Would play again, but will difentely book a buggie.

2 players. 12 holes. 4 hours. Gave up.

The course is beautiful and really enjoyed the 12 holes we played but sadly we had to give up due to how over booked the course was.

As a two ball it took us slightly over 4 hours to complete 12 holes, one one hole (8th) we were one of 4 groups waiting on the tee.

It was a shame as I’d had looked forward to playing the course since moving the area as I had heard good things and I was thinking of a possible membership, however I will be looking elsewhere now

Can't wait for summer

2nd time of playing this course this year and much better than the 1st. Still damp in places keeping buggies to the path to protect the fairways which will certainly be of benefit in the coming months. Bunkers were very Stoney and some of the greens although true were a bit bumpy.
Clubhouse very welcoming and reasonable priced

Complete Joke

Due to a senior ladies match going on and us being told there was no chance we were allowed to pressure them or play through them our round for a 2 ball took 5 hours.
A complaint to the pro shop brought no joy, its as if they didn't care about us as we were visitors to the course.
I will NEVER play this course again !!!

Nice course, weird layout, terrible pace of play

The course is in a beautiful setting and has the potential to be a great golf course, however it is let down by its layout which is unfortunately spread either side of the a34. The transition from the 8th to 9th to 10th holes with long walks in between completely break the rhythm of the round. In addition, I hope it’s just because it was bank holiday Friday, but the pace of play was dreadful. It took 4 hours to get through 12 holes today, which is simply unacceptable and you lose rhythm as a result making the course less enjoyable than it should be.

Challenging Course Suited to the Better Golfer

This is a championships length course of high quality particularly for a commercial operation. The holes are varied and challenging with excellent greens for this time of year. It can get very heavy, significantly increasing the length, but dries quickly. There are several long walks from green to tee, this plus the many slopes and inclines means a buggy is essential for older, more physically challenged players
It is probably more suitable to lower handicappers capable of striking the ball a decent distance from the tee, but for anyone with a half decent game it is highly recommended.
The staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating and there’s an excellent Half-Way House facility with a call-up on the 9th tee for pre-ordering of hot food, that is good value for money.
I’ll try it again in the summer, with a bit of run on the ball, giving me a chance of playing closer to my handicap.
Well worth a try!
