Course was In excellent condition. Greens superb. Will definitely be going back. Good value for money
Forest of GREEN
Great course, the greens were the greenest and quite perfect,
Beautifully course, would definitely play again, just a bit far for us to travel - 92 miles,
May consider overnight stay at the hotel
Well worth a visit
For the money, I would definitely recommend this course to anyone. It was in good condition although the greens rolled a little slow, which was to be expected at this time of year. Will definitely be coming back soon
Good value and forgiving course
Reasonable parkland course with a few interesting holes and features. For the most part open and forgiving for higher hanidcappers. Made for an enjoyable round, if not a memorable test of golf. Not the easiest the navigate first time, with a few unmarked tee boxes. Greens and fairways in decent condition.
Still a few winter tee boxes in play which was disappointing. Good value at 15 pound and a great place to play if you’re looking for something at the easier end of the spectrum
Enjoyable course
Course in good condition. Greens.are very well cared for. Play slow took 35 minutes longer than previous time due to slow play and we were a foursome always having to wait
Decent course but slow!
Perfectly acceptable condition, but one area of course very clogged with tees and criss-crossing fairways that caused delays and was potentially hazardous, especially for a new visitor.
Slow play an issue, although I guess Sunday lunchtime is always busy so I imagine later in the day would be quicker.
Despite these issues, well worth a visit- some interesting holes and good use of water hazards.
Bar terrace a lovely sun trap!
Nice course was very slow
Played course in good weather. Course looks in great shape from a distance but greens a little patchy in places.
Well marked out yardage, holes etc for first time playing.
10th hole tee is such a let down looks just surrounded by dead ground and playing of a temporary mat which isn't big enough to stand on.
Not sure if a problem all the time but spent over an hour waiting overall probably closer to 2. There were 7 groups on 2 holes at one point
Nice scenic course and setting
Course is generally really well presented. It has generous fairways and decent sized greens but plays a little tougher than it looks. Disappointing that there were still 2 or 3 winter tee mats in use, the only other slight negative is that the greens were a little slow and bobbley. But overall nice course and great value for money
Friendly Round of Golf
A round of golf with a friend after lockdown, we moaned to secure a tee at Forest of Dean. Never played it before and enjoyed the experience. Not too difficult as wide open fairways; so great for mid handicap players, societies and beginners. Greens on the slow side. A fun day had by us. Couldn't rate off-course as not open after lockdown yet.
Great Course
The course is quite short but requires incredible accuracy! There are some superb holes, including the fantastic 12th with its island green and signature 17th. The course is currently in incredible condition considering the recent wintry weather and the mature tree-lined fairways are particularly impressive. Whilst the greens are in great condition, we found them to be quite slow. Our ONLY criticism would be the pace of play - we were regularly held up by several slow groups of three and four ahead. Overall, I’d say this is a lovely course, well worth a visit, and one I’d return to again.
Will not bother returning
2 hour's 45 minutes to play 9 holes, got to the 10th there were a group on the green a fourball in the fairway + a group waiting to tee off pretty much as it was on every par 4 up to this point. Found out there were 2 societies out & members, enough was enough we retired and didn’t bother with further torture of more slow play. Disappointed that the course was over subscribed so this will be entered onto the will not return list in fact it’s the first one on there.
Little Gem
This is a little Gem of a course, only let down and a minor point is work being carried out on the 10th tee, winter mat in place making it a difficult tee shot being blocked off by trees
Played great considering the conditions
Wet day and week in general but whole course played very well, mix of challenging holes and some simpler ones. Club pro was very helpful and pointed out certain things to navigate the course well and quickly. Will definitely be back with such a good price of £16pp
Great course
Great course I would happily go back and play it again
