Enjoyable course at great value

Pleasant countryside, well tended greens, decent fairways, and challenging enough for most golfers. Excellent clubhouse and bar facilities. What more do you want?

It had been very dry for a few weeks, but the fairways and greens were in good condition. Some of the rough is still too long in many places and slows play down for the higher handicappers.

Playing well after fixing the watering pumps. More work need in the bunkers, to remove the grass growing in them!. Apart from bunkers very good condition.

Good gamble!

Decided to play despite earlier heavy rain but weather forecast was inaccurate and stayed dry. Course obviously a bit muddy from earlier rain but greens held up very well and it didn't affect our round.
Fantastic value on Play More Golf.

Waterlogged

A fantastic golf course, let down by waterlogged pathways and fairways . Greens are far too soft and insignificant Hole cut outs a lot out of shape,.. And some bunkers with zero sand it’s a shame because it used to be awesome. Hopefully they spend some money on it.

Friendly members

New to the area so wanted to take golf up again. I played behind a few very friendly members from Easthampstead Gc who play at the course / complex, they were very friendly and asked if I'd like to join them as the course was playing slow, I expected this as it was a Sunday and I was on my own. The course conditions were good, the greens were in good condition with some tricky pins. The only negative were the bunkers unfortunately with not enough rakes and plenty of footprints in them. After the round I stayed for drinks with the members and we had a good chat. They seem to know the bar staff very well and over all it felt like a very family friendly club. Once I find my game again I'll look to join the club.

Many thanks to the starter

Turned up to play by myself on a weekday about 3 weeks ago, and found I was due to go out behind a society.

Starter very kindly suggested I start at the 10th and he'd get me back out onto the front nine.

Very grateful, as turned what I suspect would have been a 5+ hour round into one completed in about 3 hours (and score correspondingly a lot better than it would have been with a lot of waiting). Course very dry as expected, but tees and greens excellent.
