Great value
Naunton Downs is actually a 13 hole golf course (though you can play the first 5 holes again to make it an 18 hole course). The green fee (£20) is very good value - there are some quirky green-or-bust holes across the ravine in the middle of the course which are fun. The drought means bare straw-coloured tees and fairways and some of the greens are suffering - but who'd be a greenkeeper when there's no rain and 30C for a month? Overall good value and a good test.Reviewer Rating

winter has arrived at Naunton
A wonderful golf day at Naunton with a sandwich break after first 13 holes. The course is great and the greens were running really smooth. Only complaint was that the promised coffee machine had not been set up in the pro shop. However, they made tea for us.Reviewer Rating

surprisingly enjoyable day
It took us a long time to get around the first 13 holes (3 1/2 hours), took a bacon bap at the bar and then returned for the final 5. It's an interesting arrangement yet worked well for us. The fairways were well-groomed with greens that were fast, smooth and predictable.Reviewer Rating

The course is still maintained in good condition, but the clubhouse facilities are pretty rudimentary, staffed on a shoestring. When we played (using Play-More-Golf points), the clubhouse was locked at noon, as there was nobody there after that time. This may have been a one-off; who knows?

Great course but let down by the course signage!
The course was in great condition and a lovely course to play on. From the tee boxes to the greens it was very well kept. My only negative is the course is shocking for signage when playing your first time. Trying to navigate round was ridiculous and whether I played the correct holes in order I have no idea. The map on the scorecard is embarrassingly wrong and all the yardages are off. I feel a little time correcting these issues and having decent signage for the next hole numbered would make this course a real gem!Reviewer Rating

Recommend it. Only downside is that you have to play holes 1 to five twice to make up an eighteen hole course.
Superb place to pay golf, great scenery and full of wildlife.

Poor condition - needs a lot spent
Despite a nice location and a relatively nice clubhouse , course is in really poor condition. Greens are okay but the tees are a disgrace ( White 3rd is like something from a farmyard ). Fairways not much better.I’ve never seen so many weeds in my life.
There are some nice holes but it is just ruined by lack of investment and any/good greenkeeping. I think someone spending too much time on the horses/ owners club rather than the golf.
I was that unimpressed I gave up after 13 holes (10th hole closed so only 17 open) only to find the fancy looking bar closed… At 6:30 pm that’s not good enough.
This course needs a lot of money spending on it to bring it up to scratch and then it probably has some potential . Can’t see ever visiting in the near future even if it was free. Disappointing as live local.
If you’re in this area and better to play Broadway, Cleeve , or even travel down to Painswick. Avoid !

Needs some TLC
We thought the place was scruffy and needed some serious maintenance. Far too much clover and uncontrolled rough.Reviewer Rating
