This really is a farmers field, and only worth visiting if you live close by and the weather is fine. It is convenient because you don't need to book and can pretty much always get a game.
Don't even bother during wet weather. The slightest sniff of rain and the place becomes a bog. Quite seriously, you really do need to ford streams and boggy areas to progress up the fairway (2nd hole is a prime example).
Don't worry about dress code. Jeans and tank tops are welcome - draw your own conclusions.
Greens also get extremely boggy when wet. Nobody seems to bother replacing divots or repairing ball marks on the greens. When visiting earlier this week, there were even divots on several of the greens (unrepaired). I think the only treatment the course gets is an occassional mowing.
There are bunkers (or swimming pools in the rain). They have little sand and plenty of stones.
In terms of difficulty, it is a tricky layout. Often fairly tight out-of-bounds on the right (on at least 4 holes) punitive rough in many places and greens that have exceptional slopes (notably the 7th which is like a ski slope). Not so much a challenege as an ordeal.
Shop is functional (i.e. they can take your money and make you a cup of tea) and the welcome is perfectly good. Putting green currently has a great channel dug across the middle of it. Driving range is uncovered, uphill and poor quality balls.
Overall, cheap, but not particularly cheerful.

Silly course, not very well thought of when designed. fairways are not very well kept and greens designed stupid slopy. Not worth of the £9 for visitors, go elsewhere like Fourmarks or Avington for better experience.

Otterbourne Golf Club is supposed to be a beginners track, but it's not an easy one. The greens are very steep and fast. The fairways are okay, perhaps a bit rough at times. Lots of long par 3's and a really challenging blind par 4. The rough is rough, stay out of it.

Known in the trade as a "farmers field" but having not been here for some time I was impressed with what I saw. The par is only 30 but it is a very tricky 30 - only three straightforward holes, the remainder being long par 3s, tight par 4s, all with sloping greens and heavy rough. Greens in very good condition - fairways a little bare. Good value. Worth a visit in the Summer.

This short and challenging course can be quite fun whith some interesting holes. The course could be maitained better and the greens could be more consistant.
