In Great Condition Considering Recent Weather

The course was in superb condition given recent relentless rainfall everywhere. Many courses still have trolley bans and holes closed yet here there was barely a suggestion of any mud or surface water, even in the rough. Where there was any, it was clearly roped off and easily avoidable. The greens were true and reasonably quick and all bunkers were properly raked giving a reasonable chance to play a decent escape shot. A pleasure to play here again, and great value

Great value for money !!

From the ease of booking with Golf Now to arriving at the course. Everything was exactly as you would expect The welcome in the clubhouse and the breakfast before the round was good value.
We had a tee time of 12.44pm but went into the pro shop to book in to be told we could tee off earlier at 12.20 pm and this was not a problem
Great course with good drainage considering all the bad weather recently.
Our 4 ball really enjoyed our day at Newbury and Crookham
Great course
Good value
And very welcoming even in the 19th hole
We will be back very soon
Many thanks to Newbury and Crookham for a really enjoyable afternoon
The deal on Golf Now was really good value

First Time Playing

I can't wait to play this course again.

We played as a 3 ball, and all for the first time at this course. We were all blown away by the course. The condition of the course was superb. The fairways are excellent, the Tees great, and the greens are amazing. We played in constant wind and rain, and the lower parts of the course got a bit damp understandably, but most of the course withstood the weather (which had been wet for weeks prior) remarkably. The weather didn't dampen our spirits because Newbury and Crookham is that good. We can't wait to play there with leaves on the trees, because this place is a stunner in the winter, and we were informed, by a member on the course, that the course would be 10 times better in April.

Great Course

A great course in very good condition, especially liked bunkers that actually had raked sand in which is unusual after all the rain.

Outstandinh

For this time of year after the frost and wet weather, the course was in fantastic condition, I couldn’t believe how good the greens were.

Gorgeous course with great views across Newbury throughout and some really nice challenging and different holes. I will be back many many times!

Superb Greens

Got a hot deal at a bargain rate of £22. For this time of year and with the amount of rain there has been, course was in excellent condition and the greens were top notch.

Course celebrating its 150th year, one of the oldest around. General rule of thumb the older the course the higher the standard, Very true in respect of Newbury & Crookham.

Round of golf with three complete strangers.

Tee off time 1.40pm
Teed off and quite quickly got friendly with the three guys who were booked to play like me all first timers on this layout. It’s not a long course, thankfully for me at 71 but a good test of golfing skills nether the less. It’s a very scenic walk with lots of undulating fairways . The par three’s I would say are the stand out features of the layout . Definitely will pay another visit when the A34 is quieter as I live near Oxford.

Superb!

I've played here as a visitor four times within the last year. Admittedly being lucky enough to get the Golf Now hot deal for £20 before the price goes up helps when reviewing a course. Even still, the description of here being 'wonderful' is absolutely spot on. It's a lovely course and a overall a nice place. Immaculate tee boxes and greens, some awesome holes, lush fairways, friendly and welcoming staff and members, and good facilities. Honestly cannot think of anything bad to say! Just a shame I live around 45 mins away. If I was closer I'd definitely play here more regularly and wouldn't be against paying more than the bargain hot deal prices. I'll be playing here again in the future, for sure. Thank you to everyone involved with your club for the positive experiences so far

Pristine Condition

We were fortunate enough to pick up a Saturday afternoon HOT DEAL for £20 at Newbury & Crookham the day of the clubs 150th championship. Although the course had been played by a lot of people in the morning, the greens were superb (fast and true) and the fairways in good condition with tough, but not card ruining, rough. Maybe because the members were playing for a big silver cup - all the bunkers were well sanded and raked very neatly (one of my biggest golf annoyances, it isn't hard to rake a bunker !). The Par 3's are all a bit quirky, especially the 17th and the course is tough enough for a low handicap player but not impossible for a high handicapped player. We do always play of yellow tees, but the competition whites didn't look too daunting. Lovely course and a nice pint after.

Newbury and Crookham-perfect!

Played with a friend and had a brilliant round of golf on a delightful course. The course condition was exemplary, greens super smooth and fast , fairways in good condition and overall course condition excellent. Surprised how hilly the course is but this added to the character of the holes and the challenge.
One of the oldest courses in the country celebrating 150 years
Definitely play there again if I get the chance.

I have wanted to play Newbury & Crookham for years, but never found the right time. Glad I rectified that this afternoon. The course was in good nick for mid April. Fairways were very good with a good covering of grass and the greens were deceptively quick, especially if past the pin and facing a downhiller. I should think that they will be firm and fast in a few more weeks. Good layout that is quite hilly, that held the interest, in particular, a great collection of par 3s. The 3rd is a lovely downhill short hole, where you’ll get some good hang time. The 6th is just over 100 yards uphill and semi blind. The 9th is much longer, but a large green is there to collect your ball, however if the pin is at the back, beware! 15 & 17 are the short holes on the return home. 15 is solid, but 17 really catches your eye from the tee. Good food before the round, and clubhouse welcoming. Well done N&C GC. 150 years old in 2023!

Newbury and Crookham

Myself and Alan really enjoyed stealing away from work and getting a round of golf in at Newbury & Crookham.

Everything was seamless; Pro-shop helpful, members friendly, course in really good condition. The man at the bar was kind and thoughtful and ithe whole afternoon was a delight.

Made a new friend (young George the pilot) - one of the overlooked advantages when booking less than a full tee time with Golf Now - you often get to make a new acquaintance.

Would highly recommend Newbury & Crookham to all golfers.
