Played at the course a few times and always enjoyed the round. Recent visit may have been badly timed as greens had been tined and sanded and grass left long - lottery for putting. We also had a strimmer following us and fairway mowing without proper recognition of impact on players. Still enjoyed it though.

Course layout is good - other than strange 10th hole! - but we felt that maintenance let it down. Greens had too much grass, greens and fairway fringe grass was left too long imo. May be due to time of year, but still a negative aspect.

My 3rd round at Forest of Dean and haven't been disappointed with any of them. A well laid out and well tended course that doesn't punish wayward shots too harshly, well not on most holes. Only slight negative was the greens, which seemed to have too much grass on them, making it difficult to judge pace.

Played a few rounds at Bryn Meadows and generally enjoy the challenge. Some holes are very frustrating (notably potential card wreckers at 10 and 17) whilst most others just require good shots. Excellent facilities in hotel and bar.
