Enjoyable, interesting and good value.

I work at Milton Park and have been looking for the perfect after work golf course and I think I’ve found it here at Drayton. The layout is interesting, the greens were in top condition and quick. Best of all I can get 18 in with little disruption and no members cutting in on the 10th unlike other courses I have tried! The only negative of which nothing can be done is the close proximity of the A34 & the amount of pylons on and around the course but I expect this would easily double the price of the green fee. Bonus, a friendly Pro Shop and Bar too. Will definitely be coming back.

Excellent All-Round Package

I really like this course. There is an interesting mixture of holes/challenges, and the greens staff are clearly working hard on the maintenance.
Tee-boxes were tidy, but broken tees everywhere - no tee bins seen.
Fairways generally in good condition.
Bonkers kept tidy.
Greens were very fast.
I last played here late summer 2020, and it was boggy, and very wet, but yesterday it was in very good condition.
The range is excellent - covered, coffee available, top-tracer, range of targets.
Pro-shop friendly, and very well stocked.
All-round impression - very good.

excellent warm up facilities, 16 balls at the range for Â£1 well worth it. Ground heavy in some areas due to the British summer but greens in good condition.

If I have any minus points about this course, then they are trivial by comparison to the plus points. I played it for the first time today and was very impressed with it.

There are some very nice holes here, and as for the condition, the fairways were really good, and I am not sure I have played on better greens anywhere this year.

The only issues I had were the 9th hole, where it appears you have to play across someone's back garden from the tee, and the signpost to the 13th, which had two signs pointing 180 degrees in different directions. As mentioned earlier though, these are just me nit-picking.

The clubhouse looks really nice (it was shut when I finished my round), there's a huge covered driving range, and a really nice practise green, so it's not just the course that excels.

This is a great course which I am very happy to recommend.

Horrendous Greens

I’ve played on loads of courses where greens have been spiked but I’ve never seen anything like the first 8 greens. Huge lumps of sand left all over them and vehicle tracks all across greens that when the ball hits them it just follows grooves - no refund given, do not okay this course until spring!

Just awful....avoid

Greens are the worst we've played this year. Not sure if they have professional green keepers but honestly it's embarrassing. We accept hollow tining this time if year but the holes were huge, little care spreading the sand. Looks like they drove over on a tractor meaning putts had to negotiate deep deep tracks, huge holes and clumps of sand. Paid £25 and no apology, just shrug of the shoulders. The club house looks the most unwelcoming place possible, no wonder it was empty. We won't be return until next spring and it's just not worth a visit. Fairways were extremely muddy and again, loads of tractor tyre tram lines. The only positive I can think of is that it did not rain.

Local course for us so we play here regularly. Members only before 11am which is understandable but a shame. Course conditions are improving since the drainage issues last year. Always an enjoyable round.
