What the club says: Fairways and greens encourage golfers to employ their 'Course Management' skills. The course provides a challenge to match the demands of open competition, company days, golf societies or group organisers.
The 3rd hole is undoubtedly the feature hole and we recommend a look at the Panoramic views of Oxford city and the surrounding area.

This was a massive disappointment.Located high up adjacent to the A34 at Hinksey/Botley, the views of the spires of Oxford are superb.
However, it otherwise fails to deliver.
The course is not well-maintained. There are bunkers that have been GUR for two years or more. Many greens are in poor shape. Tee-boxes, even after the extended lock-down and zero use, are unavailable and mats are in use on several.
No course Marshalls, so plenty of young lads in non-golf clothing, including several who were two or more players using one set of clubs.
Bins overflowing at several points.
Clubhouse like an old agricultural building/shed, serving poor machine coffee.
All felt extremely half-hearted & impoverished, and reeked of under-investment.
I shall not be going back until a major amount of money & effort has gone into improving it.
This club, given it's location, and topography could be amongst the finest in Oxfordshire, but at the moment it is definitely in the bottom tenth percentile.
My advice is don't visit.
And ?32 for a buggy is absolutely extortionate.

Reviewed Aug 11 2020 by Banbury - rated 2 out of 5 Not great - but cheap at twighlight
Booked a twilight tee time which was very well priced. Really nice people working there. No balls were available for the range when we arrived which was disappointing.Lots of the tees were on fairways not on tee boxes and they were rock hard and sandy with lots of deep divots which had not been replaced. Greens were surprisingly slow and wet considering the weather (30 degrees in August) and fairways were mixed, some great lush green and trimmed some rock hard dying grass and grass cuttings left out
Overall - cheap and cheerful golf with a nice layout of holes and some great views and really welcoming staff with cold beer on tap. A good one to go round with some beginners wanting a quick round

Reviewed Jul 15 2020 by Mike B - rated 4 out of 5 Scenic course offers a good challenge
Course is looking the best it has done for a few years. Greens, fairways and light rough are all well-maintained, thanks to the tireless efforts of the greenkeepers. Some more bunkers have been brought back into play. The bunkers at Hinksey will never be great without the sort of investment the club just doesn't have. However, it's good to have more bunkers at least playable. The views remain one of the most attractive features of the course. If you haven't tried it, give it a whirl. It's a friendly, un-stuffy club and well worth a visit.(Round played: Jul 2020 - Score: 96 Handicap: 24)

In the middle of Covid 19 outbreak and this was 1st game of golf this year but it was a very pleasurable day...Reception staff were courteous,course was in a neat and excellent condition and with warm weather prevailing the ball ran a long way...On a couple of holes it was hard to work out where the next hole was but this is the only minor area for improvement...At £22 for a round it is fairly prices and the views over Oxford are simply stunning and with Geese and their offspring roaming the course nature is all around you...

Reviewed May 10 2020 by Tim Cowen, London - rated 4 out of 5 Amazing views, tremendous VfM
This is one of my favourite courses in this area. I have played it several times. There is a decent mix of holes, most perfectly ok but with three showstoppers. The course is perched on a hill overlooking Oxford so the views are spectacular. This is especially apparent on the ninth and 18th, both of which are long downhillers heading towards the view. They both invite a big drive off the tee, and then both end in dramatic and well guarded green complexes near the club house. The other standout hole is the third - this one is truly world class and I can't work out why it is not more famous. A fabulous view of Oxford from the tee and a massive, wide-open downhill fairway which invites a big drive. But the fairway also has a devilish sideslope. And when you get to your ball you realise that the hole then heads back uphill. So you're likely to be hitting off a downhillsidehill lie to a very well guarded green above you. It's an amazing hole.The rest of the course is perfectly fine - nothing quite so memorable but nothing wrong with it either. And the green fee is a steal - sometimes less than £20 in midweek.

Reviewed May 13 2019 by Mike B - rated 4 out of 5 Great for wildlife and views
Just completed early morning round with loads of wildlife to view: pheasant, deer, rabbits, a cute family of young Canada geese and even a cuckoo. The golf wasn't bad either! The course is in pretty good shape; greens and fairways are pretty good; the rough can get a bit rampant at this time of year so it's best avoided if you can. Bunkers remain the major item of work-in-progress. The greenkeepers do a great job pitched against the local wildlife who seem to want only to dig up the greens, and the climate. It's a friendly club and well worth a visit. The views over Oxford and the surrounding countryside are stunning.(Round played: May 2019 - Score: 95 Handicap: 22.5)
