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.

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.

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...

A nice undulating course with a challenging layout and tricky greens. Beware the third hole where the green links up downhill with the green from the adjacent hole, so an over-hit putt can be calamitous here!

Fabulous course!

One of the best course I have played! A proper championship course with lots of variation and fantastic greens, fairways and tee boxes. The pro shop is big and well stocked and systems are all customer focused. half way house/bar is a brilliant and welcome feature.

The course was generally in good condition but playing off the yellows the Tee boxes are shocking. No place to hit the ball on the level. If this is deliberate then this makes the course more difficult. Bacon roll and coffee for £7.20 was a bit pricey!
