Great Round

Course was in great condition and was a real test with lots of interesting holes. You also had some wonderful views which enhanced the experience.

Everybody at the club were very helpful and we had a good time.

I would recommend this course as one to play and myself and playing partners will be back soon.

Great place to play golf

Lovely course

Despite the heavy rain, this course still showed its self to be a beautiful challenging facility. Was a bit water logged here and there, but didnt really effect anything. I would 100% recommend a buggy, few holes have a decent trek from green to tee… great course, would be back tomorrow if it wasn’t for work 🤣

Slow slow slow!!! cheese and onion pasty sold as meat!

After arriving at donnington groves country estate with high hopes of a great day out we where greated with a disappointing pro shop and a difficult to navigate course

with little information as to where tees are and long walks between some tees i would highly recommend a buggy, this definitely felt like more of a golf hotel than a golf club

the pace of play on the day was atrocious with tee times being far to close together

we managed to reach the “halfway house” after 2 and a half hours to be duped into buying a cheese and onion pasty labelled as cornish!!! thank heavens i’m not lactose intolerant

after leaving the dingy half way hut with a couple cans of carling and my cheesy monstrosity we ventured on a half mile journey to the back nine where play was even slower,

to be fair to the venue it was a lovely course mainly let down by poor signage and poor facilities.

i would visit again but only in the week and only with a buggy

Prepare to be challenged, physically and technically.

Played here for the 1st time in 20 years, and was looking forward to a challenge. A big estate and be prepared for a walk especially if not using a buggy. Disappointed that the halfway house had closed early as could have done with a sausage roll for the challenge of the long par 5 10th.
A very long course off the white tee but the fairway was running fast and hard, which was well burnt after the long dry spell. Greens in good condition and challenging pin positions, (don't go past the flag on the 1st).
We normally go round our course in 3hrs 20min, took an extra 1hr due to the long walks between some holes.
Will play again soon.
