Golf course review of Donnington Grove Country Club

Testing course which is long and tight. Very enjoyable but can hurt you if you are not straight off the tee. No easy holes as far as I am concerned - well placed bunkers abound and also a liberal sprinkling of water on many holes. Challenging but fair and worth a go - or maybe two! Great clubhouse with friendly staff and decent food.

Golf course review of Donnington Grove Country Club


One of the best courses around the newbury / reading / basingstoke area. Long course with long walks and often good deals around for 4 balls etc..

Good challenge with high SS rating and nice friendly pro shop / club house. A little small in the bar area and not too many good value meals around in the bar.

Always worth playing :-)

Thoroughly enjoyed the course and the facilities. Apart from one pompous member of staff who luckily was only there one day, we had a brilliant time and would recommend.

Golf course review of Donnington Grove Country Club

Played the course in late August and it was looking superb. This month the course was doing a deal charging just £17.50 Mon-Thurs. It is probably the best course you could play for that sort of money.

Golf course review of Donnington Grove Country Club

An interesting and well kept course which provided a good test. One concern is that given it has not exactly been adrought this year is how brown the grass is in large areas including tees and edge of greens. None the less an enjoyable place to play golf.

Golf course review of Donnington Grove Country Club

If it were not for the very long walks between a few of the tees then this course would be on my agenda very regularly, even though it is a monster.

Very nice holes and always in excellent condition.

this course was in tip-top condition. The bunkers were strategically placed and the greens were running fast. The wind played a big factor, especially for the inward nine.

Golf course review of Donnington Grove Country Club

Played here in mid May and really enjoyed the course, greens were in good nick despite recent heavy rain. The grounds were stunning and apart from the two mile hike from the 8th and 9th greens to the next tee box I enjoyed every aspect of the course. I'll definately be back but probably in a buggy next time!!

Golf course review of Donnington Grove Country Club

I found this course quite a challenge as it very demanding of your endurance. Exteremly long expecially the walks metioned below. I enjoyed this course as it was long but not too long. Also the course was in good condition and the greens were putting on glass. Would come back here but it is a bit of a hike so a buggy would be very good value for money.

Golf course review of Donnington Grove Country Club

I also just played in the Southern Cup here and the course is in great condition, especially the greens. I agree with Tims point about the "strategically placed bunkers" mainly because I must have found about 6 or 7 off the tee! The front nine is completely different to the back, and in the wind was a real challenge. Its a well thought out course and provides a good challenge for golfers of all abilities.

Golf course review of Donnington Grove Country Club

Just played in the Southern Cup here and was impressed with the course. Quite long and undulating but with big greens and some nasty strategically placed bunkers. Interesting the difference between the slightly fluffy Sunday greens to the freshly mown Monday greens, both ran true but the latter were much, much quicker. And many thanks to the greens staff for the different second day pin positions (not). Only gripe on the course side were the stones in the bunkers, but apart from that it was in spectacular condition for early March. Having said that, the treks over the motorway between the 1st & 2nd, the 8th & 9th and the hike from the 9th to the 10th were a bit of a pain. Hotel was small, friendly and charmingly decaying.
