Membership
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.

Great value for money
I would recommend that the Tee box for the 10th hole is moved as for medium to long handicappers the drive is too difficult (and blind) and led to a considerable log jam while groups were trying to find their shots had gone to.Reviewer Rating

A deceptively challenging course but in dry conditions the ball will follow the contours and can leave you in the rougher fairway edges which although cut back still leave some awkward shots to handle and many of the bunkers are well placed

Chose this as it was only an hour and a half drive away. Glad we did the course was in great condition and the weather could not have been better. Hotel a bit dated but the staff were excellent. Recommended.(Round played: Aug 2020 - Score: 98 Handicap: 21.6)

Curate's Egg
Very enjoyable, but you need to know your way around, as the layout can be confusing. In one or two places you have to cross other fairways to get to the next tee. We all felt the 10th hole was a bit of an unfair challenge off the tee, especially for seniors. One ball was lost, one nearly cleared the trees but was held up enough to drop into the ditch, and one went left, and was the only one that scored on that hole.Reviewer Rating
