A very challenging course and because of the distance between some holes I found it quite exhausting.

First visit to Donnington Grove, given the current weather in the South of England this course. was a pleasure to play. Greens were true and medium paced and the staff in the Golf shop were very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

Well worth a visit

Nice course, well laid out and great environment - lovely views of the Berkshire Downs. Greens and tee boxes in very good condition. Bunkers a bit gravellly. Lots of bare patches on fairways (common problem this year on many course). Long walk between 9th - 10th and then from 18th back to clubhouse. But still definite worth a visit. Nice course to play

A long walk ...

Most courses were closed on the day we played, so it was pretty wet but not too bad overall...
However Its a long slog in heavy conditions, some very testing par 5's and a lot of walking between holes.
would be keen to play it again when dryer and warmer as greens ran pretty well and would be much better once it drys out

Shocking fall from grace

Returned to Donnington Grove today for the first time in a number of years. I could have cried. It was apparent before I even parked the car that this place has fallen a long long way. The greens are the worst I have ever seen at DG, possibly even the worst in the area now!! Everything was wrong. The burnt out area by the pro shop is a microcosm of the wider area. Neglected and left to ruin, what a shame. I would love to know how such a beautiful golf course can fall in to such a state.
