Disappointed

Played the blue in our society and have to say I was really disappointed, expected much more then what I got, a tired looking golf course, lovely pro shop and clubhouse, but its all about the courses for me and it just didn't tick any boxes.

Not having played the course before I was looking forward to my visit but if I am being honest I was a little underwhelmed. I played the red course - some good challenging holes, very good greens and well positioned fairway bunkers; I wanted to love it but nothing particularly stood out. The course currently has I think a badger problem with significant and unsightly damage to a number of holes. These areas should be marked as GUR but that was not the case (this could be forgiven in the current climate if they do not have the manpower).

Blue course Jan 2020

Possibly the "Most challenging" of Frilford Heaths 3 courses...pretty long for me 24hcap..but a great course which is fair ...good condition considering the recent downpours we have had...with only a little standing water. I played pretty good and managed 32pts ..
?30 guest fee when playing with a member...club house undergoing refurbishment at present but can still be a bit "old school"...for me not the place to come if arranging a society..but to play with a member worth doing.

2-ball course - pleasant

This course does not really have any signature holes, but we got round quickly, and it was in fair condition

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.

Nice winter track but be prepared to wait!

A buddy and I recently visited Frilford Heath as we were looking for somewhere playable in mid winter (12/01/2024). The club house and Pro Shop are both very nice and all the staff were very friendly and polite. The red course was in great condition considering all the rain of late and we all found the course a good challenge and would certainly recommend the mid week winter deal were you get a bacon butty and hot drink thrown in for £55. Now, our group did have a few gripes - Firstly, although we had been given a tee time, there is no tee times as such! This means the 1st tee had 15 to 20 people or stood in the freezing cold waiting to tee off, this obviously is not ideal in the depths of winter and a waste of peoples time getting there for an allocated time, given when booking, as this time means nothing in reality! We actually arrived at the 1st 15 minutes prior to out slot and tee'd off 15 minutes late, so had to stand around watching other go off in the cold! Also, the on course signage is poor and it is easy to get onto the wrong course, as there are 3, mid round. Finally there is a lack of bins on tee's, only a silly gripe but as this is such a nice course and venue its something we felt let it down. That said, we would like to revisit in the summer.

Tough course (Blue)

Really need to be playing with someone who knows their way round. Pretty tough feeling ones way round various doglegs and hazards unseen. One of the more expensive courses to play locally as a member's guest.

Great course

Green is always in good shape. Drains so well and although shorter than blue or red it offers a great test and some tough decisions
