Relaxing Round
Played her for the first time with my son we both throughly enjoyed the course the layout and fellow golfers the only downside was players failed to wait for us to finish playing on hole 14 as we had not run the bell to say that the hole was clear was a bit annoying as we are not slow playersReviewer Rating

Nice parkland course
A nice parkland course, well laid out & in fantastic condition.Fairly open, so you can have a go at it, bit there are a good mix of trees & water if you're really wayward.
Look out for the 10th hole a split fairway running down to a brook makes you think off the tee & the superb 12th. Tee down to the Brook, then you have the choice if laying up, or going for the island green.
The 8th is a cracking par 5 as well.
The hotel is comfortable, the food good & the staff friendly. All in all a good golfing experience.

I'm a member here.
This course has very good value for money.Although this course doesn't excel in anything.
It also isn't boring. The course has nice gentle undulations with a variety of holes. There is enough challenge here to keep you coming back but you're not going to lose balls either. There are holes where the big hits take the advantage but you also don't need to hit the cover off the ball to shoot a good score here.
The greens are fair for this time of year. Although I do wish they would top dress 4, 7, 12, 13 because they absorb a lot of water when it rains.
A few ball cleaners and some more work on a few greens would improve the experience here massively and a net to warm up in would be great and a practice green to chip onto.
But you're not going to feel over charged and you will have a nice day here. I see lots of very happy societies and a members are brilliant. I popped on the course very early Sunday morning and got a round in by myself in 2:30 minutes however the course can be very busy at peak times, so take a beer and some crisps..

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.
