Cracking course, tucked away in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. We played during lockdown, hence the low rating for off-course amenities. I'm sure they are as good as the rest of the club in normal circumstances.
The course is fairly long, with a number of 420+ yard par 4's. It's a challenge for higher handicappers, but is also quite forgiving. Some fairly generous fairways. Also a sprinkling of tight ones! There are 3 or 4 absolutely stunning-looking holes, particularly on the back 9, and the place must be an absolute picture on a sunny day.
The staff were brilliant. Obviously, social distancing was in effect, but we were made to feel very welcome. This is not always the case when visiting clubs that are tucked away. They like their privacy! We met a few members as well, and they were also very warm.
We enjoyed Rye Hill so much, that we are going to try to make it a regular outing.
