Great quality and interesting course. ensure you know where the 17th green is at the tee or you will lose balls. great club that served us quickly and happily. enjoyed talking to the bar man too. thank you for a pleasant visit.

The course was in excellent condition on the 25th September 2015, a good test of golf but with very consistent greens. Staff very helpful and friendly. Certainly come back here again.

First time playing this course and I'm massively impressed. Superb greens, fantastic fairways and the tee boxes were better than some greens I've played on.
Very interesting course, a few short par 4s which I would play differently now. Great finishing 2 holes, particularly the par 5 17th.
Looking forward to playing this course again.

First time visit in June 2014 and despite early phone call to confirm all OK for an early afternoon game, heart sank seeing the car park full - no worries, it was an morning competition and there hadn\'t been anyone of the 1st for ages - bril - just how I like it with my 1st tee nerves. Warm welcome in pro shop, very acceptable fee, in extremely lovely weather to the 1st where a respectable 3W was probably seen by none in the clubhouse, whereas a duff would probably have been seen and derided by half the poulation of Berkshire!\Pleasant short par 4 opener leading to the start of \"the climb!\". Three holes uphill, but in truth, not Cardiac jobs, the view up the hill from the 3rd tee being worse than the bite, whilst the steepest was looking up from the 4th, but at only 130 yards or so, was no problem, other than my thinned PW through the back. On the top now, and 5 & 6 long out and backs and then over the road to probably the prettiest part of the course, with fairways bordered by most attractive pines (not leylandi thankfully). Very nice and exacting DL right 10th and then a sharp dog leg left to a brind green - trust the marker high up in the tree.\Probably the weakest hole of the course was the 13th where the tee is hard right against the bushes and unless a drive is hit with a fade, it is very likely to go staight on into the trees - difficult short par 4 but unnatractive to play.\Back over the road and thence you can see just how far you have risen , with the early holes and clubhouse seemingly about 1000ft below!\The real drop is at 17 where a drive just to the right of the marker is ideal and then its steep down hill all the way to the green, fantastic hole, leading to the 18th, another good downhill drive to a green overlooking the clubhouse.\Quick pint before rushing off to pick family up, well it would have been had there been someone to serve me, took a valued 10 mins before anyone appeared! - only minus point of day!\Overall, absolute scorcher of a course, friendly welcome, value for money, tremendous views, all holes different, greens excellent, fairways perfect, and rough cut well back in most places - a delight to play - thankyou Goring & Streatley GC, a very pleasant day indeed

I've only played here a couple of times, but I'm not sure I know why I haven't made the effort to play here more often.
The fairways are generally fairly accommodating, and the holes are a good mixture of tougher and easier holes. It's certainly not an easy walk, but once you've made the climb to the 5th tee most of the hard walking is behind you. The views as you make your way back to the clubhouse make the climb well worth the effort.
Goring and Streatley is just an excellent place for a round of golf.

Wonderful course, members and facilities. Only complaint is the lull between the 5th and 8th holes, particularly the 5th and 6th which are, in comparison to the rest of the course, boring.
Would happilly be a member here if i were nearer, which says it all though.

Enjoyable round with great views
Course in great condition after the wet winter. Greens were as tricky if a bit slower than usual. Some changes since I last played with some bunkers now grass instead of sand but it doesn't make it any easier.Reviewer Rating

A gem of a course.
Had heard good reviews and reports about Goring & Streatley, and I have to say, I wasn't disappointed. Tucked away in the Berkshire countryside. From the moment I arrived and was greeted by various people, I felt as though I was actually a member of the club, even if it was for one day. Was playing in a Mixed Pairs event, so expected the hospitality to be good and it was in fact, very good. There was a couple of driving nets by the car park. The putting green was lightning quick and I was informed by the starter for the competition, that the actual greens on the course were even quicker. That was an understatement. It was like putting on glass, they were very, very quick. There is also a chipping area and a green a short drive up a lane between the 2nd green and 3rd tee. The course itself meanders its way through some superb land that has been used to create a fantastic golf course. The first four holes gradually rise up, with holes 2, 3 and 4 having quite steep fairways and rises up, but after that, the course opens up and is fairly flat, before you then come dramatically down from the 17th and 18th to the clubhouse. There is a great selection of holes, with tempting drives to short par-4's and short par-3's, but with some long par 4's and 3's that test your game to the full. Run off areas flank a lot of the greens that make holding chips on them very hard, especially with the quickness of them. There is a halfway hut by the side of the 14th tee that stocks a good selection of drinks and nibbles. I would say my favourite holes would be 14 to 18, the finishing 5 holes offer just about everything you want from a golf course. A shortish par 4, a mid-length par-5, with some of the best views you're likely to see on a golf course, a long par-3 and the finishing 2 holes would grace most courses. A dramatic downhill par-5, that you can't actually see from the tee, but it's superb and the 18th is a great finishing par-4 that sweeps downhill again, towards the impressive, new look clubhouse. Was I impressed, yes. Did it meet expectation, yes. Would I return and play again, a definite yes. Thumbs up from me.Reviewer Rating
