My brother and I played Bird Hills Golf Course on Friday 10th July 2020 at 3.00 pm. The weather was ideal with a light wind and bright conditions. The course was in great condition with the greens on the front nine playing medium speed. The greens on the back nine were inconsistent, with greens running medium on a few and slow on others. Overhall considering the greens get a lot of traffic, particularly at this time of year, were in good condition. However, our round was slightly ruined by a three ball in front of us who clearly were new to the game and slow play was evident. It was not uncommon for my brother and I to arrive on the next tee only to have to wait 3-4 minutes for the 3 ball in front of us to advance down the fairway. Course etiquette was unfortunately not being shown by these golfers. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting a test of golf. The 19th hole was excellent and staff friendly and accomodating.

Played the course on Sunday 22nd December. I was a bit worried that the course would be closed due to the rain we had experienced over the last few days. However, it was open and although the greens were up to their normal high standard, the fairways were water-logged. Unfortunately, we finised on the 10th hole as the pace of play was poor. This can sometimes be the case at Wexham, but on this particular day, it was as bad as it has ever been. The 19th hole was very good , with a great selection of beers and eats on sale. Would recommend this course to anybody, but it would be hit and miss as to how busy you may find your round on any particular day.

Played Wexham Park Blue Course on Sunday 10th November 2019. The weather was sunny, but after Friday's rain, the course was extremely wet. However, although muddy, the course played very well. The only disappointment of the round is that it was overcrowded. We had a 3 ball in front of us who were slow to say the least. As we were a 2 ball you would have thought that they would have called us through. This did not happen and as we hit our first ball from the 1st tee at 12.02hrs, we were coming down the 18th at 16.42hrs a total round of 4 hours 40 minutes!! This spoilt our round of golf and we may think twice about playing the course in the future. It does get overcrowded at times, but unfortunately quite a few of those on the course have no idea of course etiquette and therefore ruin it for others who just want to have a enjoyable game of golf without trying to complete a round of golf in failing light due to idiots.

Played this course with my brother on Saturday 28th August 2019. The weather was hot with little wind making it ideal for golf. The fairways were excellent, although a little bare in places, but in general, top notch for this time of year. The greens we found were excellent although a little inconsistent on some holes. The off-course amenities were first class with a full size driving range, putting green and excellent club house. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking for a pleasant day of golf coupled with first class staff serving ice cold drinks.

We played Aldenham Golf Course on Thursday 8th August 2019. I have played this course before some 10 years ago and the course is always full of surprises. The greens were slick and running true, the fairways were excellent and the overhall condition of the course I would say was superb. The weather was warm with a slight breeze, which made our round a wonderful experience. The staff in the Pro Shop were very professional and friendly and the 19th hole was a joy to behold. Overhall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone that wants a pleasant round of golf, not too difficult, but be prepared to be tested on the greens which were superb. I have picked up a membership pack for next year and you never know, I may become a member in the not too distant futrure.

My brother and I played Wexham Park Blue Course on Saturday 3rd August 2019. The course was in great condition with the greens running true and moderately fast. The pace of play was slow as there were quite a number of people out on the course probably because the sun was out. However, for the first time on this course we had the experience of meeting some "golfers" who were devoid of any sort of etiquette that you would expect of any golfer. They were clearly green fee payers because their behaviour was not that you would expect from members. To these "golfers", if you want to play golf lads, try and find a pitch and putt which would be right up your street. However, apart from this small aspect of our game, the course was in excellent condition and as I have said before, I would recommend this course to anyone, not only for the excellent value for money you get from playing one of the best courses around, but for the excellent service from staff on the 19th.

Played the Blue Course on Sunday as a two ball. Despite the course being busy, the golf etiquette shown by the golfers ahead of us was excellent. We had groups of three and four ball ahead of us, but despite this, everyone called as through, which is sometimes uncommon on many courses we have played. The course condition was superb and the greens were medium to fast and very true. We have played this course a number of times in the past and you can clearly see the amount of work that the green staff have put in to make this one of the best courses in the area by a long way. I believe there are improvement plans ahead for this venue and once done, this will be a very sought after course to play if not already. The pro shop staff were informative and the off course facilities (19th) were first class. In in all, I cannot recommend this course more highly. Will be back in the very near future rest assured.

My brother and I played Wexham Park (Blue Course) on Sunday 9th June 2019. We have played this course on a number of occasions and always find it gives you a testing game. The greens we medium to slow and were in excellent condition. The pace of play was reasonable although on past visits, the course can become crowded and it is not uncommon to have a 3.5 to 4 hour round. We enjoyed our round of golf and would recommend this course to anyone who wants a good test of your game. The green fees I believe are very competitive and for a course of this standard, offers excellent value for money. The staff and selection of eats and drinks on the 19th are good and the friendliness of the staff is always to a very high standard. I would highly recommend this course.

We played Huntswood on Sunday 17th March 2019. The weather was windy with the odd shower and towards the latter end of the round, hail stones covered the greens which made putting a complete lottery. The only complaint I had on the day was the pace of play. We had a 3 x golfers in front of us with a pair having a buggy. One of the golfers was all over the place and my brother and I had to wait 5 minutes between holes which spoilt our round. Something needs to be done on the pace of play at Huntswood because the course is in good condition, but spoilt by individuals who simply lack course etiquete and the ability to hit the little ball.

Played the course on Friday 1st March 2019. Conditions were ideal with a slight breeze and cloudy. We found the course a good test of golf, although the greens had recently been sanded and tined, which made putting a bit of a lottery. However, we enjoyed the outing and the par 3s were brilliant and very testing. The amenities from the Pro Shop to the 19th Hole were excellent with friendly staff and a good selection of hot food and ales on the 19th. I would recommend Hazlemere Golf Club to anyone who seeks a good round of golf on a testing, albeit not too difficult, golf course. You are made to feel welcome which is so important in any golf club in the land. Highly recommended.

My brother and I played Bird Hills Golf Course on Saturday 9th February 2019. We have played this course before about 3-4 years ago and enjoyed it then. After the rain we had on the Friday, the course was extremely wet and muddy. In addition to this, it was very windy which made playing conditions very testing. However, we enjoyed our round of golf and would come back to play this excellent layout in the Summer months. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants a fair test of golf without paying the earth. The Clubhouse is fantastic and would not be out of place in a more expensive golf course. Highly recommended.

We played on Sunday 27th January 2019 in conditions that can only be described as awful. The high winds and sleet made playing conditions as hard as they could be. However, the course was in reasonable condition considering the time of year. The greens were not ideal with many playing inconsistent, but taking into account the inclement weather over the past week, I suppose were what was expected. I would recommend this course to anyone who would want a good test and excellent value for money. The 19th was truly excellent with friendly staff and a good selection of food and good quality ales. Highly recommended.

This is the second time I have played this course and the first time was in the summer months. However, playing the course in the winter is more challenging. The amount of leaves on the course does make for a very frustrating round as spending time looking for your ball, even on the fairway, does slow the game up and can be very frustraing. However, the greens are excellent but the fairways and tee boxes are a little on the average side.

My brother and I have played this course before and always found it a challenge. Unfortunately, we only managed 14 holes as the light faded badly having started at 14.06. The greens were not at their best and the fairways have taken a battering during the Summer months. The signage could be better as a number of holes were difficult to negotiate. I would say the course is a test and is great value for money. The driving range is handy and the the club house is excellent with friendly staff and an excellent selection of ales. We recommend this course to anyone.

My brother and I played Wexham Park Golf Course on Friday 21st September 2018. We found the course to be challenging, particularly in very windy conditions. The course is a good test and the greens we found were in excellent condition. The off-course amenities were excellent, providing a good choice of ales and food and the staff could not have been more helpful. I would recommend this course very highly.

I have played Huntswood Golf Course many times before and remember the times when it was a 9 hole course. Condition of the course was excellent and the greens were first class. The clubhouse was superb and the staff were friendly and willing to please. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.
