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.

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.........

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!

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!!

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.

Tough course in these muddy conditions and poorly hit shots are punished. Couse a bit muddy but good otherwise and greens were as true as ever. Great challenge.Reviewer Rating

Great value course
Wanted a round at short notice and this was a great deal on GolfNow hot deal.Course in great nick despite the weather and more of the fairways and rough cut back, with the result that I did not lose any balls despite a few wayward shots! Greens ran true as usual. Very accommodating course to play on your own compared to others in the area.

Well worth the visit
A beautifully manicured parkland course with tricky greens. Don't be put off with the fact it is a 9 hole, it is a wonderful challenge with some very tricky holes and alternating tees which makes the back 9 a different challenge. A very friendly and welcoming club, and a great experienceReviewer Rating

Very good value
Two lots of 9 holes, most with different tee positions, and so interesting range and always challenging. Some difficult long par 4's and two very dfficult par 3's. After previous reviews of long rough and fairway, the course had been cut and was in great nick and I didn't even lose one ball, despite occasional wayward shots. Greens particularly good and fast. Exceptional value for the price when it's in this condition.Reviewer Rating

Too tough for the average handicapper
Played this course as part of a society. Great golfing weather and Fairways and greens very good but the rough was far too severe for the golfers in our group. I know you shouldn’t be in the rough but we are handicap golfers not professionals. Day was spoilt due to too much time searching for balls some of which were barely off the fairway. If you are a low single figure golfer that doesn’t miss fairways you would probably really enjoy it but if you are a 12 handicapper like me avoid it as you will be several balls down at a minimum by the end of your round.Reviewer Rating

Quirky course
Only 9 holes but most of the back 9 are in different positions and so still interesting.Hadn't played the course for a few months and impressed how good the greens were, fast and true. Fairways were a bit long in places but overall very good, and very good value. Tough course with no easy holes.

Good challenge
Generally well kept course, greens had benefited from the recent rain and so had a reasonable pace and quite true compared to previous occasions. Some long par 4's and challenging par 3's make this a more dfficult course than its index suggests. Obviously not as varied as other courses as only has 9 holes but the back 9 are different for some and the course is well worth playing.Reviewer Rating

Good challenge
Hadn't played here for a while as it has 9 main holes and so not as varied as other courses. However, decided to try it again as playing on my own and managed to get an afernoon tee when it wasn't too busy considering the front 9 players still had the back 9 to play. Course in pretty good condition, fairways better than the greens which were quite bare. Some tough par 4 holes and the two par 3's are also tricky, particularly the last hole.Reviewer Rating
