Good course.

Good course, I like the layout and the length of the course. The greens were far too slow though and quite a few burnt/patchy. Another course that suffers badly with un-repaired pitch marks.

Club house is decent but was closed when we finished at 7.

I have played this course many times, normally its in fantastic shape, hopefully it returns to this soon.

Pace of play is so slow, greens are poor!

We had a Sunday afternoon tee time at 2.04. Tees off 20 minutes late due to a queue on the tee. Things did not improve we had to wait at every shot for the groups ahead. At one point 5 groups on the tee of the 8th. The round took 5.5 hours to complete as a 2 ball,.

The greens look like they have been in a drive by shooting. Never seen so many unrelated pitch marks! The 4 ball in front played from
Many bunkers and didn’t take them after they were done. The holes had damaged edges.

Practise facilities were very good, pro shop well stocked and friendly staff. Half way house was great too. An ice cream and an ice cold drink took out mind off the wait on 10!

Won’t be revisiting here any time soon, a lot better value for money available at any other Newbury course.

Great course and facilities. Some members let it down

Course is great. It makes up for it’s lack of yards with some tough holes, the 8th In particular is a challenging par4.

Staff in the pro shop are among the best I’ve dealt with.

The only thing that lets the course down is the attitude of the older members. I have played this course 100+ times. I can’t remember a round where I haven’t heard an stupid half wit comment aimed at one or more of our group. We are all aged between 25-40 so not juniors and 3 of us are ex members. If it wasn’t for these people I would definitely re-join this club. As it is I will keep my membership else where and return as the course is too good to not play it.
