An absolutely superb parkland course

We read the great reviews of Donnington Valley GC and were pleased to say that the course and the golfing staff did not disappoint. The course was beautiful, very scenic and in superb condition. The greens were superb, although did not find a flat putt! Really tricky pin positions which made the putting challenging but most enjoyable. The pro shop staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful but, despite being a 115 mile drive for us, we plan to return to this wonderful golf course.

Fantastic course well worth a visit

Not knowing the area or course I didn't know what to expect. DV didn't let me down. It was in great condition and the course has some very challenging holes namely the Big Dipper. Water hazards make for a great risk and reward round. Would recommend for sure.

Well kept, nice views!

The course was in lovely condition and the greens were excellent. Staff in the pro shop were very friendly and helpful.
We were asked to stay in The Vineyard Hotel rather than the course hotel and The Vineyard was excellent, accommodation, food, staff were all top quality.

Nice course but busy

Pro shop staff are exceptionally pleasant and happy to help. Course is / was very busy so pace of play was slow (saw a couple of groups walked off), also trolley's and buggies are in short supply.
Course is short but with tight fairways and subtle greens it's a good challenge. Fairways and greens in excellent condition but finding a level lie on some tee boxes was tricky. A very good option for a weekend break!

An absolutely lovely course

A lovely course with some very testing holes and plenty of hills! As a group eleven we were welcomed to the club and it seemed that nothing was too much for the staff. The course itself was in very good condition and very well presented - just can't believe it is a 'pay & play' course! Thank you for an excellent day.

A Good Find...

We played our latest monthly society day here and were amazed at how well the course had been kept during lockdown. Greens ran smoothly without signs of work. Fairways were super. Will visit again.

Donnington Valley 20th May

First visit and nice friendly welcome in the Pro shop..Course was well maintained and attention to detail prevalent around the whole course...Greens were in good shape and course was tight in places so accuracy off the tee important..A lot of tough holes with wind against and uphill made it for us high handicapped a challenging course but really enjoyed it and will be back...
