Beautiful Course but beware...

Played in beautiful sunny conditions and thoroughly enjoyed the course but if you're wayward off the tee beware. The first cut of grass rough is typically very narrow and then you're in the heather. Almost every hole, both sides and its often a killer. Great greens, good bunkering and yes its not that long but that's mostly due to lack of Par 5's not the lack of hole length with numerous 400 yard + Par 4's. One word of caution....the club is a little stuck in the dark ages. Rude members, pushing through without a a thanks, guests being asked to the leave the course as they weren't good enough. We had booked a tee time for client golf day (only 8 of us) and were 'asked' to tee off 45 mins early......presumably because a member demanded it. Not that I think they care that much but at £150 a head they should treat paying guests with more respect. Such a shame as its a lovely course.

Beautiful Course!

Lucky enough to enjoy this course with a society.
Course in very good condition considering the amount of rain in the preceding days so obviously drains well. Some fairways slightly patchy showing the damage from the heatwave summer but greens in excellent condition.
A very fair course lined with more heather than rough and playable for all standards.
Hospitality was warm and look forward to returning in March!

Not my Fav

Not the best in this price bracket that is for sure, but like everything in this area its over priced for what it is, some better courses in the Midlands that don't get shouted about as much such as Beau and Enville to name just 2

A real pleasure

Was lucky enough to be invited to play this delightful course. Each hole is cut out of woodland and hidden from the next. Yardage really isn't a factor, its all about position and accuracy as the heather that lines every hole and encroaches on to the fairways really is a punishment. The course was in excellent condition and the greens were a good pace. Hope I get the chance to play here again and a special mention for the food in the clubhouse, it was fantastic.

Simply stunning

Amongst many of the finest courses west of London, New Zealand is perhaps one of the lesser known courses, but is truly magnificent. The course is always immaculate and greens true. They were perhaps a little slow, but it had rained for most of the preceding 48 hours so hardly surprising. The fairways were superb, even after all the rain. On top of all this splendour the lunch in the clubhouse is one of the best anywhere in the country. One of the best days out golfing you can have.

simply stunning

i was lucky enough to play this stunning course for £40 and i must say it nearly knocked Royal St Georges from the top of my favourite courses.

the course was like a cross between Woburn and Walton Heath - tree lines fairways with lots of heather that gave you plenty to think about off the tee.

the greens were deceptively fast but true and the greenkeeper must've been in a bad mood of Friday as there were 2 or 3 sucker pins.

i am so glad i got to play here before the place is sold off for housing

Stunning golf course and very tricky with heather everywhere
If you get stuck in the heather it is very difficult to get out.
Course in great condition. Clubhouse old traditional style. Food was excellent after the game.

Superb course and a privilege to play. An exceptional use of the forest and heathland to make a course fit naturally into its environment. Almost every hole is a world apart from the others, as you quietly meander through the woods on this beautiful property. Excellent condition throughout. A small but intimate bar / dining room with very good food and drink.

Beautiful setting and very nice holes. The surroundings are as impressive as the course itself. It feels as though you are playing a secret course in a (millionaires) back garden.

A real classic heathland course. The condition of the course is as good as any I have played - a testament to the professionalism of the greenskeeper. Superb layout with a number of challenging holes - requires you to think on almost every hole and to keep it in the fairway as wayward shots will be penalised by the heather or the deep bunkers.

This place is in my top 5, great condition, lovely course and despite the weather (rain, hail, wind and 15 degrees celcius at times!) we had a great competitive round.

Although relatively short this is a testing course particularly on the par 4's which all require an excellent tee shot to give you a chance of reaching the greens. The layout makes it feel like you are the only ones playing.

Heard good things about this course and played it yesterday. Definitely did not disappoint, even at this time of year it was superb, greens very good. It's fairly unique in that you can only see the hole you are playing. Will definitely be back, hopefully in the summer.
