Don't Bother
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.

24 of us played on Saturday 24th June. The course was pleasant but the greens were a complete joke. We were told that the irrigation system had been out of action for three weeks and as a consequence, the greens were rock hard with almost no grass. Everybody three putted and some managed 5 putts. One of our party was 12 foot away for 1 and managed to finish with a 6. Others 4 putted from 4 foot after just missing the hole and then running 40 foot off the green. If I never play this course again it will be to soon.

Course has regressed massively in the last couple of years. Badly kept greens, bunkers etc and unfriendly, unhelpful staff. It's a shame because it could be an interesting course. Would avoid playing there again. Other courses in Oxford are of a much higher standard for the same price.

A very disappointing course. Wonderful views but the fairways were very patchy. The greens were in a bad condition with bare patches along with soft spongy patches on the same green. Two greens had animal holes in them. Altogether a course that was sub standard. Many public courses are in much better condition than this members course.

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

Hinksey heights review
Given a Groupon voucher for my birthday hence the visit.Was kept waiting for over 5 minutes when trying to book in because guy behind till was being given trained on a spreadsheet, that very poor in my opinion.
Onto the course and the Greens were very poor on the first 9 but did improve coming home.
Course itself was picturesque and just the Greens let it down,if the Greens improve happy to come back.

Greens need improving
Really enjoyed my round here apart from the quality of the greens. They were very bumpy and the worst I have seen. A couple of the bunkers need weeding and some sand added. The rest of the course was good. The views make this course along with the woodpeckers that are constantly landing on the fairways. £12.50 a round makes it affordable. If they improve the greens and bunkers this course will be great.Reviewer Rating

This course has intersting views over Oxford. The main plus is it remains open whatever the weather. Greens are small but very difficult. It's a better place to play in good weather as when the wind blows it can spoil things. A lot of long walks between holes. This is a course I would recommend if you were using 2fore1 vouchers as otherwise it does not provide value for money.
