What the club says: Calcot Park is an undulating, traditional, parkland course and is recognised as one of the best in the area. It was designed by Harry Colt in 1930 who also built, amongst others, Beaconsfield, Denham, Stoke Park, Sunningdale Old, Swinley Forest along with the East and West courses at Wentworth Club in Surrey.

The 18-hole course, Par and SSS 70, is 6216 yards long off the White Tees and is acknowledged as a demanding, yet fair test of golf. There are two par five's, both reachable in two by strong hitters and four excellent par three's, including the 7th, our signature hole, played across a lake to an elevated green.

The 13th is played across a stream in a shallow valley to a contoured green. The course opens and closes with two, long par four's. There are three small practice areas, practice nets and two practice chipping and putting greens.

Calcot Park has an abundance of mature trees and shrubs and the areas surrounding the course are home to a variety of wildlife including badgers, foxes and deer.

Not so intelligent golf

Unfortunately they appear to be struggling to keep their booking system and communication in line with weather. Despite being closed for a week they had bookings available through both golf now and on their website. I made a booking and no one made an attempt to let us know the course was closed. The email link they send doesn't actually link to the course status and all appears fine unless you click on the menu where it is hidden. Arrived at club no apology - simply a refund. Having driven over an hour to play the course it was disappointing that they were unable to manage this basic administration task.

Nice course

Nice course, just off the M4. Quite varied. Not too difficult, as not that long but well worth playing.

Pleasant course with killer greens

Calcott Park is a nice pleasant parkland course that has the look and feel as if you're playing in the park of the manor house. The fairways are open and the course would be relatively straightforward if it was not for the greens. Most of the greens appear to be on a slope and are quick. It's easy to leave many downhill putts 10ft short or off the green.

Great parkland with tricky greens

Enjoyable round with course in great condition apart from one dry and bare approach on the 12th. Greens were had and fast and front pins were very difficult to play to.

New chef provided a well presented and tasty dinner.

Really enjoyed my round. Staff and members were all very friendly. Considering how much rain we’ve had the course was in superb condition and the greens like lightening. Loved it.

Quality of Service

Our Golf Society visit (20 players) was very warmly welcomed by the Management & Catering Staff of Calcot Park. Everyone felt totally at home.
Service was speedy, and attentive.
The weather was perfect, and the golf course was in excellent condition considering the dry conditions.
Greens were challenging, but our Society average score exceeded 30 points, which was above the normal.
One player commented that all holes were very different and interesting.

First class course!

A gorgeous course, which is quite forgiving, but the greens are like glass, and are certainly not forgiving!! One false move, and the ball will run off for days!

nice course

Course was in parts tight with next tee box adjacent to the previous green and in striking distance, Course had suffered from the excessive recent rain and was boggy in parts. Shots carried no distance due to the ground being waterlogged which made the course seem much longer. Also as the course is hilly again no carry and in some cases plugging. pre golf we had a breakfast in the clubhouse which whilst modest was perfectly cooked. generally the course is very well kept and very tidy. Greens are true but very fast. Green Fees expensive at around £40+..

Hadn't played here in a while. Course was in good nick. Greens were a little firm so hard to stop the ball. . Well looked after in the bar pre and post round. Tight on covid rules. Course itself has an interesting layout and is well worth playing.

Interesting course

Played for first time. Would normally be too pricey for us but had a 4 ball voucher which was great. Course in very good nick and greens fats but true. Some holes perhaps a bit similar and course not as varied as expected.
