An outstanding course, one of the top 100 courses in the country. Warmed up on the shorter Green course before tackling the Red course after lunch.(Round played: Mar 2018 - Score: 107 Handicap: 27.6)

First time playing the Green Course, having been told by the Pro shop staff member that it was the best draining; I'm glad we weren't playing either of the others, as there was standing water on fairways (and a couple of greens). One particularly bad pin position had the hole and the surrounding couple of feet under water - but then again it was raining for the first 16 holes! Other than that, the bunkers were in good order, although, again drainage was a problem in a couple of them. Fairways seemed a little long, and greens were OK where there was no water standing. Only one par 5 (the first hole), so whilst it seems to be a short course, there are some very long par 4's (especially when it's so wet there is no run on the ball). It was also a windy day, which didn't help anyone's scoring. On a positive note, from paying £11 EACH for the Red and Blue Course Guides in 2017, there has been a change of ownership (apparently), and the Green Course Guide only cost £5. Staff looked after us very well, and the fish and chips for lunch and afternoon sandwiches and tea were very good.

Superb course and venue
A great visit to Frilford Heath, made to feel very welcome and a great set up. Played the Red course, in great condition, the greens are without doubt the best we have played on this year, and up there with some of the best ever.Course is challenging, especially with the swirling wind, but a very enjoyable round from start to finish

Played the green course on a Friday evening at 4 and had the place to ourselves. Course as ever in wonderful condition, the Green course is shorter however trickier than the Red course, so still a challenge. Club house and facilities excellent.

We played 2.5 rounds on the 21st march, we played the green course after lunch and the fairways and course in general was good condition but the greens were pretty poor which was a shame - especially compared to how good the red course greens were! Round 96. Handicap 26

This was a change of venue for a regular spring meeting, and my first time playing anywhere in Oxfordshire. I had heard good things and was not disappointed.
We played 18 holes on the Red Course, followed by 9 holes on the Blue Course. The Green Course on the day was having considerable greenkeeper work being carried out. The Red Course was in good condition, well maintained, although it looked like a herd of deer had been around, and some of their number had been through some of the bunkers. Having visited a couple of bunkers, they were well stocked with sand, which was quite heavy, but if you played the shot properly, the sand was consistent. Greens had quite a few tricky slopes, and the pin positions seemed to be well chosen, with probably 6 easy, 6 medium and 6 hard. The most notable thing I found was that hole to hole, the direction changed regularly, so it was hard to get used to the wind, as we didn't play two holes in a row where it was helping or hindering, from left or from right! This certainly added to the challenge of a fairly long course.
The greens were a very consistent pace, although one of our members said they were slower than when he visited in October 2016, but they were good for the time of year (March). Tees and fairways were very well maintained.
In the clubhouse, the staff were very friendly, with the new director of golf coming to welcome out party before we had lunch. The catering staff themselves had been on hand from our bacon rolls at 7.30, all the way through lunch and then afternoon tea. We originally had a 2 hour + gap for lunch, but were allowed to go out early in the afternoon, which suited all of us, although the lunch was substantial and that seemed to affect the afternoon scoring!
I bought yardage books from the Pro shop, which proved very useful, although these were the most expensive I have ever bought at any club at ?8.00 each! They were also not as up-to-date as the Pro advised me, as I spotted at least 1 hole on each of the courses we played where new bunkering (visible from the tee) was not in the books.
