The course was in superb condition given recent relentless rainfall everywhere. Many courses still have trolley bans and holes closed yet here there was barely a suggestion of any mud or surface water, even in the rough. Where there was any, it was clearly roped off and easily avoidable. The greens were true and reasonably quick and all bunkers were properly raked giving a reasonable chance to play a decent escape shot. A pleasure to play here again, and great value

Unfortunately my arrival coincided with a couple of hailstone downpours, however the course was in as excellent a condition as ever and I had an enjoyable round

Considering most courses are closed or have trolley restrictions due to prolonged, recent rain, Seaford was in excellent condition. All holes and greens in play, no casual water or mud, just a little damp underfoot. Quite amazing considering I'd had to drive through flood water a few miles from the course. The one disappointment was the mist, which obscured the beautiful views of the South Downs and the Sussex coast for much of my round, though that of course is no fault of the club.

My first round since before Christmas and I couldn't have chosen a better place to start off with. Some great coastal and hillside views. Considering the recent bad weather the course was in great condition with just one temporary hole and one temporary green in use. Hopefully I can come back in warmer conditions nearer to the summer for another round

A lovely course and a really enjoyable round. Helped probably by not losing a single ball until into the final third of the round despite the numerous water hazards around to play over. Found the course very fair with no ridiculously penal rough like you encounter on some courses

A very well maintained course with an interesting variety of holes and some very scenic views. Very friendly members and felt welcome. Very pleased to have played here now

I was very impressed by the upgrades to the course, which was in superb condition. I was a member here about 12 years ago and liked what I saw.

The course was in excellent condition. I could see the attention being given to maintaining it. Everybody on and off the course was very friendly. Hopefully the course will now remain open in its current format as the two halves complement each other. The course has been under threat for some time due to the proposed bypass and new housing nearby.

I took the opportunity to play this course to check out the new holes on 9, 10 and the tinkering to 11, 12 and the 17th tee. Very enjoyable afternoon round. I wish they'd alter holes 1 to 3 where I managed to lose 4 balls, though one was down to my rank incompetence from the drop zone on hole 2. In fairness even these holes have had a few helpful improvements too.

Always enjoy playing this course when it is in good condition, as it was during my round when it was excellent apart from one or two greens which had been returfed and were just bedding in again

I had an enjoyable round. Some interesting holes and lovely views. Some holes were a little bit tight for me, near to boundaries, however I managed to stay in play and got a few pars. The bunkers looked well maintained although on this occasion I managed to avoid visiting any of them!

Enjoyed my first round here. Very friendly welcome on arrival that made me feel they were pleased about my visit. The first couple of holes felt very tight. After that though the course opened up a bit to enable some decent driving opportunities. The greens were very slick and I was caught out a bit by one or two downhill putts that hadn't looked too obvious. Overall, a fun round and somewhere to look forward to going back to

The course was in As good a condition as I've ever found it. Light rough cut back to allow a reasonable chance of finding stray shots, greens true and even paced, bunkers all in excellent condition. Not too many people on the course. A really enjoyable day

This was a very enjoyable course to play even though I didn't play particularly well. Some lovely views from various parts of the course. It was a fair test with some interesting holes and the course overall was in very good condition. Would recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable test.

Very enjoyable round plus a complimentary coffee and bacon bap before starting. Very pleased to be back at Bramshaw for the first time in a couple of years. Hopefully will be back again soon, especially with offers such as this

The course was in very good condition considering recent weather. I only recall one instance when I needed to take relief from wet ground underfoot. Greens were fast and true for the time of year too. Bunkers were all very playable. In all, a very enjoyable round

This course has lovely scenery and is superbly maintained. Considering the vast amount of rain during March there was hardly a semblance of a puddle anywhere on the course. The fairways were in great condition as were all the greens and bunkers. I really enjoyed my round

I've never seen the course so boggy, and as a former member I'm acquainted with winter conditions here, however all the greens and bunkers were very playable and all holes were still in play, unlike other courses in the area which have been forced to close holes or use temporary ones due to the relentless appalling weather, so maybe the course staff deserve congratulations rather than brickbats for it being open at all. I still enjoyed the course and played surprisingly well.

My first visit to the West Berkshire. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A lengthy and challenging but fair course that suited my game perfectly. Very friendly welcome and very friendly encounters with others playing the course. Look forward to playing here again even though it's more than an hour's drive to get there

The course was in generally superb condition given the parched weather of recent weeks. Greens were very true, fairways and bunkers in good condition too. Rough was a bit on the thick side in some places. There were a couple of slowish fourballs ahead of me but we still got around in about 4 hours so it didn't mar the round in the end
