CUSHLASH

Played in a 2 ball today and decided to play Luton Hoo as I’ve not played the course in a few years. For the price I payed (£35 each) I expected the course to be in better state. The greens were in a poor condition with pitch marks all over them but the fairways were good. £35 is way too expensive in my opinion, winter rates should be reduced, then you would get more people playing the course as it was fairly quiet. The signage for the holes is poor and needs addressing. Just to point out, there are no bunkers on the course. The fairways we’re very wide and forgiving which suited my powerful slices. Sadly I won’t be in any rush to return to Luton Hoo.

I haven’t played many golf courses in the Oxfordshire area so decided on booking Heythrop and glad I did.

The course was in great condition considering how much rain we’ve had. The greenkeepers are doing a great job.

The club professional was very helpful and welcoming when we arrived.

All the holes are completely different, each one of them challenging. The course itself is really picturesque. There is a bit of a walk in between holes but nothing too heavy. The club has loads of buggies for those who aren’t keen on walking. The course was very quiet so no pressure and we could play to our own pace.

I played in a 4 ball and everyone wants to come back as they thoroughly enjoyed it.

Full marks Heythrop and I’ll be returning soon!
