Jewel in the Bay

This is my local club but not my member club and I’m considering a switch.
The views from the 8th tee are wonderful and both the 9th and 10th are great holes.
Not too many playing when I went round but I’ll be back a bit more often I think.

Thinking of switching clubs!

This is my closest club but not where my membership is and after this, it’s got me thinking!

The course is beautifully laid out with some short par 4 holes but nevertheless still challenging. An amazing view from the 8th tee and some great undulating holes.

The bar area is a good size and there’s ample practice facilities to fine tune your game prior to the start.

Good open course

With golf clubs and hotels open once again, I thought I'd take advantage of my personal freedom currently and play this course for the first time.
The driving range is missing a number of rubber tees, forcing me to play all shots off the mat. Very disappointing. The putting green was in decent condition.

The guys in the pro shop was very helpful when I arrived and talked me through the layout of the course after discovering it was my first time.

The course is very open with little in the way of trees lining the fairways. This makes it a fairly forgiving course and I'll always welcome that! Some decent holes including the par 3 8th. There are minimal water hazards and, at the time of my visit, the bunkers were mostly out of play.

After 9 holes I paired up with another solo player and together we enjoyed the back nine at a good pace. Overall, I would definitely return and this club is in an area that suits me for work purposes.

Perfect Course, Terrible Round

Everything was setup for a great round of golf. Sunshine and an empty course (due to going out first) but sadly my golf decided to take a day off and I posted a somewhat embarrassing score.

However! The course is very good and the staff are only to willing to help out with any requests you have. The greens were quite fast you soon adjust and only the bunkers were disappointing but, to be fair, the recent heavy rain had compacted the sand making it hard to chip out (unless it's me).

After the golf, there is a small bar next to the golf reception that you can buy drinks and snacks in or you can sit outside on the terrace and watch other players come in.

I will definitely try to return this summer when I'm in the area.

A jewel in the Berkshire crown

Was this the first time I played this course?

No.............I played yesterday too.

This is a fantastic course with immaculate greens, sand based tees and nice wide fairways that everybody should love. I played on successive days and loved it both times.
