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).

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.

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.

Overpriced but great

So with great expectations we went to Frilford to play the red course, reputedly their best course of the three. The pro shop was well equipped and the clubhouse was charming and functional as you?d find with any other half decent course. There was a putting area, chipping area and a driving range that we didn't see. The course was great. It was great like any other ?40 green fee course. It was pretty flat but well cared for, the greens were slow, so slow for a premium course it was weird! Worth over ?100 a round? No way. It's not Woburn and it's not Wentworth. It's Chipping Norton, Burford, Oxford City nice. It's ?40-50 nice.

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.

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.

Chose a wonderful thundery showery day for a first visit to Frilford where I was advised to play the Red 18, the main and oldest of the three 18 hole course. With the entire population of the area seemingly more intelligent than this reporter, the course was completely empty, - I wondered why having a 30 minute wait for the heavens to stop opening under my brolley by the par 3 4th which changed from an immaculate surface to a good excuse of a kayak training run in seconds. However. it proved though what a good draining course it was for after 10 minutes, the green was playable again.
An attractive approach down a tree lined entrance to a large clubhouse, and it was evident very quickly that this was quite a classy place - it is well kept, and with everything in its place. The Red course, well again, excellently kept, everything to its highest order, best tees I have seen this year, fairways well defined, no rough, some huge bunkers, and true and large greens. The one thing (typical of many heathland courses) is that it is difficult to remember each and every hole without help from a guide, and whilst there are many very tough holes (one at 474 yards par 4),, there are no fillibusters, no real memorable ones. The first 9 are incredibly flat, whilst a few on the back nine have a few minute undulations, but it is still a very easy walking venue. Keep straight and you will be OK, but the gorse awaits either side for the errant shots.
All round nice heathland course, very well kept in all respects, but very pricey indeed, truthfully, too expensive for what you get.
