Very enjoyable par 72 course

Very easy walking course, not a lot of elevation with good course layout. Lots of driving holes with big wide fairways ( I still managed to miss almost all of them) well positioned greens making you double think your approach shot.

Rude staff not welcoming to visitors

I came down on holiday to visit a friend and we wanted to play golf at a local course for a bounce game. We figured as we weren't playing seriously and it was a Thursday evening we would be able to share one set of clubs as we were playing socially. When warming up a member of staff came and interrogated us saying, "we aren't that kind of club you must hire if you want to play." To avoid an argument I agreed and payed £12.50 for quite possibly the worst hire set of clubs I've ever been given. Normally we would have stayed for food and drinks but felt quite embarrassed as we were accosted infront of the club house. My friend plays regularly at this club they have now lost a customer and potential future member.

The course however was an enjoyable and interesting challenge with many quirks. Unfortunately the greens had just been dressed so didn't play as well as I suspect they usually do.

Flat but tough

I enjoyed my round at Theale GC. The course is mainly flat but provides challenges with water, trees and the odd electricity pilon! It had been hot and dry for a while so the holes were playing shorter and off-course drives ran into the rough. However, the rough was not overgrown so our golf balls could be found but it was long enough to make the next shot more difficult.

Much improved

I have been playing the course now for many years. And I can say hand on heart it is currently in the best condition I have seen it in. There are a few things that need addressing (bunkers mainly) but over the last year it has been improving weekly. There are areas that have had a lot of irrigation work done recently that needs a bit of time and effort to get back to where they were but on the whole a good test for all abilities.

The course is in a awful condition, they seem to be trying to make it better, then seem to just give up and hope the grass will just grow.

Worth a round

Layouts a bit uninspired at times but it’s still a nice course, back nine I found had more character than the front. Everywhere’s pretty flat (could do with some raised greens/tee boxes) but greens are small and trees are plenty.

Has some nice driving holes and you can usually find your ball after miss hits, might need to play safe to get back on to the fairway but at least you have the chance to play out of trouble unlike other courses where missing the fairway by 10 ft means a reload.

We tee’d off at 11 and were waiting on a couple shots but nothing major for a dry Saturday. Course was in fairly good condition (well drained for the most part) after a cold wet week in the middle of winter.

Teale golf

Visited this course in early September it was excellent weather and the course was quiet. Some interesting holes to think through not a long course but enjoyed playing it very much. Well worth a visit

Pleasant course

Found this to be a pleasant experience, the fairways were in great condition however the tee boxes were a little uneven and could do with some work, most of the greens were good however some appeared to be recovering from recent maintenance. Friendly staff however no facilities available due to current COVID restrictions, will definitely return for another round in near future.

Absolutely Appalling

This was a disaster.

The course, if one can call it a course, was in such a terrible state. At points it felt like i was wading through mud in a vietnam monsoon.

The greens were bumpier than a Madagascan road and the rest of the course wasn't much better maintained. I could review the fairways if I was aware where they started and the rough ended, but alas that seemed too much to ask for £36.

For some odd reason despite it being the wettest time of year trolleys were still allowed, and the tyre marks on most fairways, made it feel as if we were on beaches of normandy, on that note the Green looked like it had seen more bombs than the battle of the bulge.

There was molehills throughout and most teeboxes (if you could even locate them) were muddy and slippy, to keep your grip while driving was a task in itself.

The staff were not welcoming in the slightest and it felt as if we were interrogated at every turn about our appropriateness to play at this 'club', despite forking out £36 for the privilege.

One must only assume they are using the £36(!) each to raise the funds for a greenkeeper as they clearly don't have one currently.

Just a tip for anyone thinking of booking this club, there are plenty of others in the area that are a similar price and considerably better.

This was not a golf course it is a public park, it was not worth the extortionate fee that it required, I will not be returning.

Dreadful Condition , unkept and unloved

Played today for the 1st and last time, The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in a stocking condition.

The greens were so full of moss and weeds and were like putting on a sponge

Such a shame as the course could be nice with a lot of work, it really did look like the groundsman has been on holiday for 3 months
