This isn't the most exciting track in GloucestershireHowever it is exceptional value for money.
It has enough about it to keep better player coming back but you're not going to lose many balls around this course.
This is a good course to learn to play golf. Also as a member I can say everyone is pretty friendly.
It could do with a nett to warm up in. It does have a putting green and I don't thnk anyone is going to mind if you chip onto it. It is a small putting green, so the value of chipping onto it will be lost anyway.

The greens were much faster than I was use to and in good condition.
And was a good challenge for my handicap.

A great place for a knock
Little hidden gem nestled in the Forest of dean. Lovely little par 69 with enough challenge not to be boring but not too hard that it's not enjoyable. Great course for a knock with friends or a society and the course is always in great conditionReviewer Rating

Due to my limited availability(time not covid related) to play golf I was looking for flexi memberships at Thornbury, the Bristol, Llanwern. However just before committing to one of these flexi memberships I discovered the Bells Hotel Forest of Dean golf club.Where full membership is around the same price as other other clubs flexi membership.Having never played the course before I decided to trial the course. I was pleasantly surprised off the yellows is 5690 yards with several blind tee shots in the rolling land. It is a pretty open course but a tree is likely to hinder your approach shot if you're wild off the tee but you're likely to find the ball, I personally think that taking driver off every tee is probably possible however you might be better taking a long iron or hybrid off multiple holes for a better approach shot, water does come into play on multiple holes near the green and the bunkers are in fairly good condition. It only has two par 5s which is probably it's only real negative. Unsurprisingly because it is such good value for money the course has been busy but I played slower rounds at other clubs. So if you're a golfer which gets frustrated with having to wait, this probably isn't the course for you. However I can say that the people I have met have been very friendly.
