This course is an absolute gem. It’s not your usual, manicured, members golf course. It’s a little more rough and ready, like someone has mown out some golf holes in the middle of a national trust walk. But it’s amazing. Some truly quirky holes, blind par 3 shots, shots over roads, shots over dog walkers. But the experience is superb.

Such an interesting course, and wonderful value for money. Amazing views out over the Cotswolds. It’s a must play. Hidden beauty.

Friendly welcome in the clubhouse and although we didn’t have time to stop post round today, we played 18 months ago and the clubhouse was well worth a post round bite.

Will return to play when the 7th hole is back in play. Despite the hour and a half drive to get there, it’s worth the effort.

As per the title, this is a decent venue and have played it before and it’s been a good knock. However on this occasion the course was in poor condition. Fairways long, green recently ‘done’ and very bobbly and inconsistent. Rough just off the fairways penal. It’s a good track, and even though it’s been a tough spring I’d expect it to have recovered better than this by early May.

Having said all that, you could forgive it, especially given the very reasonable green fee (sub £20) if it wasn’t for the pace of play. Comfortably over 5 hours for a 2 ball isn’t acceptable under any conditions. Second time I’ve experienced such a slow round here. Needs a starter and a Marshall to better manage pace of play, if you come on the wrong day it will ruin your round (I’ve been on quieter days and not had any problem - it can be done)!

Will try again later in the summer, hopefully they will have turned the course round. I’m not sure they are ever going to do anything about the pace of the round, which is a real shame.

Cracking course, with amazing views out over the Cotswolds.

It's not a manicured golf course. There are areas where it's a bit rough and ready, and the fact that it's a public walkway can slow down play a little. Greens were tough when we played, and not overly receptive. But none of that really matters. It's a beautiful course, with some amazing views, some challenging holes and an absolutely top class experience.

Will definitely be returning to play again.
