Great course after lots of rain!

One of the few courses that remained open in early Jan 2024 after loads of rain / flooding in the area.

Impressed by how well it drained.
Greens in particularly were excellent and true.

Course is long enough for driver (and forgiving enough in places …)

Lots of OB / greens were recently tined

Reasonably picturesque course but IMHO marred by way too much OB, due to the amount of ‘protected environment’ areas.

Am sure the greens could be decent but they’d been tined a few weeks previously so it wasn’t much fun to putt on a bobbly surface.

A gem in Oxfordshire countryside

Fantastic greens
Par 4s you can open shoulders on.
Tough par 5s
Well crafted par 3s
Water hazards to keep things interesting!

All set in idyllic countryside
Shaping up to be a great club - lots of investment in new hotel / clubhouse.

Honest test, great greens, friendly pro.

Always welcoming and friendly clubhouse staff.
Course looks straightforward. And it is. IF you hit it straight consistently...

Great value.

Great value / decent greens

I used the hot deal on the 2nd day of golf being allowed back after lockdown - I got a great deal so excellent value but it was always going to be busy and a slow round.

The course was a very good length with some fun, tactical and risk/reward par 4 holes and a good number of par 5s.

Greens were very good in general.

Only question would be the course felt quite heavy/boggy in places and when I played it had been dry for a while. I would worry how it would play when wet.

Fantastic value / welcoming / superb greens

Played on a breezy but mostly sunny May day mid week.
Pro Paul is always very welcoming and cheerful which always gets the experience off to a good start. And he was there at the end to serves us up a cold beer as we watched from the raised outside bar area as players tackled the short but challenging 18th. 2nd shot is often into a stiff 2 club breeze (and needs to carry over a wide ditch). You need to be in a good position off tee to get a look at the green or face being blocked out by trees on right. Great finishing hole.
Overall a fantastic little course that always presents a strategic challenge. What it lacks in length/elevation is well balanced by the natural defences of wind and seemingly magnetic ponds and thoughtfully placed ditches!
Greens are consistently excellent - smooth, receptive and true.

I’ve played a lot of courses across UK over last 30 years and I keep returning to to this one.

Recommend!
