Always very windy and plays long. Can afford to be wayward off the tee on a number of holes without being punished too badly. Greens are very undulating so no easy holes. Good challenge.

greens were a true test of your putting ability, very undulating and like ice! Pitched to within 10 feet on one of them and watched the ball roll back off the green onto the fringe! Bunkers however leave a lot to be desired with lack of sand on the flat part of the bunkers a real problem....thin layer of sand and then if you tried to splash out it was like playing in clay..not good.

Reviewed Mar 20 2013

Played Caversham on a very cold early spring day and this was my first visit. I found the course very interesting with plenty of variety and certainly needed a lot of thought. Bunkers are everywhere and I had a tour of more than my fair share of them! The first par 5 is a cracker and very reachable in two with a long faded drive. I found that many of the bunkers had a lack of sand, but it is early in the year. The greens were also a bit ropey and difficult to manage as they are all fairly undulating and as patchy, caused a bit of frustration. Nice club house with good facilities and a very friendly pro shop.

Nice course, well look after but rough was stupidly long I'd have thought for any standard of player.

Nice course but greens weren't great. Also yardage markers seem off and the ball cleaners had no water in. Needs a bit of TLC to make it a really good course. Enjoyable round though.

Reviewed May 5 2009

Found a good deal to play here via Direct Tee Times - £20. A longish, flattish, rather featureless course which is underpinned by the quality of its greens - enormous, very undulating and in excellent condition. Fairways played well. Well bunkered - a few could have been better raked by the early morning green staff. We played at 10.00 and found the course very quiet. Whilst I did not use the clubhouse, prima facie the facilities looked excellent.

Taking shape

Following its recent overhaul, the Caversham offers a few interesting holes but still needs time to settle

Worth a vist

Once again enjoyed the course although the lack of clubhouse facilities isnt reflected in the price of a round. Greens in good condition, and running fast, although slowed down in the afternoon rain. Bunkers in very good condition and with plenty of sand. Major changes to layout since our last visit have made some challenging approaches. Enjoyable course to play.

Played here many times but was a little disappointed that the driving range had no practice balls available. All the balls were already on the practice area where they were yet to be picked up . My only negative on the day
