Having played here multiple times as its my local course, I have finally given up with this place. The reason? Greedy management and slow, slow, sloooow rounds.
I played a few months back and gave up after 6 holes due to members and a society teeing off as and when they please. I was given a voucher for a round as compensation. Fair enough. On the use of that voucher it took 4.5 hrs to get round on a Friday night twilight round.
Today I returned for the 1st time since then and gave up on the 8th.
Until the management put larger gaps between tee times, and actually have a warden patrol so you don't get 6 balls going round (I've seen this nearly every round I've played) and teach some members and guests some actual etiquette I won't be back. Bunkers never raked and the greens are absolutely riddled with unrepaired / poorly repaired pitch marks.
The course itself is decent, tee boxes an greens especially need some work. But there is not much to be positive about unfortunately.

1st time playing here and for £23 a round you will not find better value in berkshire.
The fairways were near perfect and the greens were in incredible condition. The rough was challenging but you could usually find your ball. And the overall maturity of the course with its tree lined fairways was great. Will 100% be back here to play.

Overall the course is OK... just a few gripes really. If you miss the fairway by even a yard you can easily lose your ball in the overgrown 1st cut... if it goes more than 3yds off the fairway be prepared to spend an eternity looking for it.
The tee boxes were often uneven and in wildly average condition, which was made more frustrating when we were told to move our bags off the tee on the 10th. I've never come across this rule before in all my time playing golf.
The course has an OK layout, way to overbooked though... we were held up by the 2 ball in front who were held up by the 4 ball in front of them... so we had behind up our @rse the entire round. Whilst I wouldn't play there again myself its not a bad course for the money.

Firstly ignore the low star rating, this is a great course with friendly staff. The issue is Golf Now don't link with the clubs own booking system. I booked my round Friday but saw a review about this issue so I called the club.
What happens is Golf now gives you a tee time, it goes to the club admin team who then have to check said tee time is available then email the pro shop to book it in. I've had this issue with other clubs which is Golf Now's problem to fix.
But the course is in great condition, the greens were great. My only gripe is the layout is a bit all over the place so grab a course map at the pro shop

This is my 4th time playing here, and was always going to be my venue of choice for my 1st round of the year.
The course was in great shape and the greens were fantastic. The front 9 round the lakes was a little slow as the 4 ball in front were playing like they were competing on the PGA, but once we got on to the back 9 of the woods it was really good pace.
Have loved playing this course every time I visit an will continue to do so, not even the freak snow shower yesterday could have put me off.

Played for the 1st time today, staff are great an very friendly. The course was decent but obviously packed after the return from lockdown. I have no issues with this. My only gripe was the absolute lack of social distancing from the 12+ group of guys on the 1st tee to the staff standing way to close to people. Whilst I realise a lot of people are now vaccinated, we still have to be responsible. Yes you may not care, but if they close golf again you'll only have yourselves to blame.

Played here for the 1st time yesterday with a friend and was absolutely delighted with what we got for our £35.
Warm welcome in the shop on arrival set the tone, choice of 3 courses of 9 holes to play (we did parks and lakes), and a halfway hut to boot.
Considering the weather; the course was in great condition and was very quiet. The kind lady in the shop advised we could tee off whenever we were ready after offering her advice on what each course offered.
The parks was great, nice and open for a 21 handicapper like me. The lakes was a touch more challenging with it's various water hazards but still great fun.
Will be returning soon to try out the woods course.
My only small gripe is a bit more signage would be handy to guide you to the next hole, and also cut back some of the bushes covering existing signs. Other than that I highly recommend this course.

Love this course and regularly play here. But the boggy mud was horrendous today... walk ways were thick, slippy mud slides.
Oh no winter messes with the course, but constantly having to be aware of your footing was quite draining and I'm surprised even trollies were allowed out today.
But greens in great nick and course is well laid out and a decent challenge. I do wish they'd install an air gun or boot wash to clean your shoes after your round though.

Great course with some fantastic holes... par 3 4th springs to mind.
Just an all round fun but also challenging course to play. Nice wide fairways an elevated greens made the whole round interesting.
Only down sides were pace of play,we were stuck behind a 3 ball who really took the Michael when looking for balls. This led to a two ball behind us getting stuck and then another two ball behind them who refused to wait an simply fired shots at you forced their way through all of us only to get stuck behind the 3 ball.
And the pro shop... Good for tees or if you need a grip but no choice of soft drinks/ energy drinks or hot food.
But I'd definitely go back... maybe wait till summer as it played quite long in boggy conditions

Anyone who's played this course will understand when I say how brilliant it is. From the super friendly staff upon arrival, to the fantastically kept course and all round great amenities.
Great flowing holes and some of the best greens I've played in recent months. The team here have done an incredible job.
The only thing I can fault it for was the pace of play but that was down to the guys in front of us having stopped for a beer halfway through a round then proceeding to tee off immediately after us on the back 9 and then playing in to holes we were still stood on the fairway of because we were losing daylight.
I'll be back here to play as much as possible in the future.

me and a friend played here for the first time sunday 7:45am tee time and really enjoyed it.
The only problem we found was how busy it was, we were behind another 2 ball and in front of a 3 ball who were being followed by a 4 ball. All of whom were should pateintly waiting go us to tee off. The first 4 holes just became a race to get some separation between us all. But I supposed these are the last precious weeks before winter returns an everyone wants to get out. Other than that I can't really fault the place... the only other problem I had was the course didn't suit my eye. It's all quite open without tree lines to funnel towards the pin and for the first 5 to 6 holes you hear bellows of "FORE" from every angle!
But would definitely play again as there were some lovely designed holes on this course.
