Disappointing and sad

Having been a member at this course I thought I would return to see what the condition was like. Very sadly my reason to leave was vindicated and even so much as the condition is deteriorating rapidly. Tee boxes were uneven and mostly sandy, fairways not lush and very disappointing are the state of the greens..little pot holes and uneven. Could not trust the roll as went all over the place. For USPGA greens they have lost them and need a lot of work.Could even see a liner in one bunker where they have clearly done one renovation work. Donnington Grove has the potential to be one of the premier courses in Berkshire but sadly its neglected and only deteriorating on this evidence.

Tee times Barmy

This is the second time I have played here and the course has some good holes with some undulations but quite a short course. On the whole OK but when I book a tee time that is the time I expect to tee off. Not to turn up and find ourselves in the Friday roll up with all other members and having a bun fight to tee off. We could of been held up for at least 45 mins if we did not push our way through. Why list a tee time if that is not guaranteed. An absolute joke and not what I expect. Will not be returning.
