Hi 'Bracknell' I myself have just played a round at Datchet and totally disagree with you! I Dont no when you went there but i can tell you that i was able to clean my shoes.. i didnt find any dye on the pathways so i dont no when you went there? As for coffee machines i found the cups and saucers ok and felt welcomed, im sure that the main reason the clubhouse locker rooms were locked was because of security, i found the greens a little bumpy but it looked like they had been worked on recentley and this has happened at a number of courses i have played, hope this changes peoples minds!

Excellent and beautiful course, quite long even if you only play 9 holes. Can't agree with what's been said negatively about the rough here, I don't think it's particularly long. Greens excellent, can't talk about the bunkers as I managed to avoid them. If you want to be really picky you could call the fairways to be on the hard side but all within reason. Didn't have much time to enjoy the clubhouse and facilities as it was late and we had to race the daylight.

Played this course this week , like going back to the 1970s, no card machine (cash only).The bar selling only bottled beer due to pumps not working, clubhouse very tired looking through out, course ok but again no care taken, tee areas,greens firm and dry.Pro shop closed during morning which I found a bit strange, plus side was where the course is, Datchet, found a nice place to eat after round (Manor Hotel)due to no food served at Datchet GC.Fantastic location but wasted!!

Ok, So lets go through this... The golf club has been flooded 3 times within 6 months, the greens were affected because of laying water for so long, the greens staff have to do work on the greens to maintain them and insure they are in good nick.. The dryness off the greens is currentley being dealt with by using sprinklers and hoses. Also I dont understand why you have such a problem with there being a card system? People keep their belongings in the changing rooms and there will be security locks. Food is unfortunatley only available on certain days of the week. A credit card system will hopefully be taken on soon. \I hope this clears things up for you.........

Can i please just say that the comments from Dan Walker and bennett/ruislip are not right.. I Play datchet all the time and i can assure you that when you play there you will have a good time.. the fairways are brilliant and tight, the first cut which is semi rough is actually cut at around 2 inches
and is very easy to get out of,
the rough is a challenge, but what do you expect if you go in it?? The greens can be a little bumpy sometimes when work has been done to them but what do you expect? Greens not to be maintained and kept in good healthy condition, As for the bunkers, most of them do have sand in them but a few are a little low,
THERE IS NO WAY. the members are rude, times have changed and its a very welcoming place, the clubhouse is lovely and well kept with clean glasses and food supplied as and when needed. I enjoy playing golf at datchet and is highly reccomended as people think it is easy but it really is not.

Datchet may only have 9 holes but with its 15 different tee positions your round is nothing but repetitive.
The fairways throughout the summer were very well kept however were prone to drying out but were still very much playable throughout the very hot dry weather. Throughout the winter they are a lush green and a joy to hit off.
The greens are some of the best I have ever played on. They are slow in places and like lightening elsewhere so reading greens correctly is paramount.
The bar, clubhouse and changing facilities are all excellent. The only let down is the lack of driving range however they have a very nice practice area for putting, bunkers, chipping and full swings although you have to go and get your balls back!
I have since become a member at Datchet and I can thoroughly recommend it both as a member and for a great round of golf.
