Not impressed!!
For the price you pay it is not good. Greens are terrible and anything off the fairway is like a playing field. Tee boxes are very unloved, and the overall condition is just not good at all. Members are rude and moan about the pace of play, even though we played as a 4 ball in under 4 hours. Some pretty challenging holes...Reviewer Rating

Probably the best value 18 course near to the M4. Great variety of terrain and wonderful views from many holes. Good value for your drives on this ancient downland turf. Enthusiastic staff and a nice clubhouse.Reviewer Rating

Ogbourne Downs has everything in place for a great day of golf. The fairways, tees and greens are all in very decent condition, there's an excellent practice area, and a very pleasant clubhouse.
Be warned that both 9's involve a fair amount if climbing, and on a windy day there's little to protect you from the elements, but the views and the course are worth it.
While I think that this is a course that can be played by all handicaps, the sloping fairways and numerous raised greens mean you'll need to play well to score low.
While there are a few contenders, my favourite is easily the par five 14th, which doglegs left and downhill through a small valley. All courses should have holes this nice.

Great course with lots of interesting holes. Greens very true and fast. Fairways excellent, first cut of rough a bit tricky though. The only negative about the day was the slow play, nearly 5 hours, waiting on a very slow 4 ball in front which we had caught after a 2 ball got fed up and finished after 9 holes. Will always play here.

Challenging links like course inland.
With its undulating hills, this course challenges at almost every hole. Set around the Marlborough Downs, you'll get some great views and plenty of wildlife, including numerous Red Kites and Buzzards. Permanent tees and greens all year round, no matter what the weather is. It's excellently maintained and one of the best kept secrets around the county. You won't be disappointed.Reviewer Rating
