Oh dear!
Visited here several times a year over the last few years but sadly I won't be going back. It's saving grace has always been good value for money at a fiver for 9 holes and the friendliness. This compensates for the months of sogginess due to poor drainage, poor greens and variable course conditions. I visited today for the first time in a few months to be greeted by a doubling of the green fee for occasional visitors and the course in the worst condition I've ever seen it. Friendly as always, however my back lawn is better than some of the greens and basically there's evidence of cost cutting everywhere. I understand that green fees have to rise, but it is now way over priced given the poor quality of the course. Shame really as it's a good challenge when at it's best.Reviewer Rating

Don't even bother during wet weather. The slightest sniff of rain and the place becomes a bog. Quite seriously, you really do need to ford streams and boggy areas to progress up the fairway (2nd hole is a prime example).
Don't worry about dress code. Jeans and tank tops are welcome - draw your own conclusions.
Greens also get extremely boggy when wet. Nobody seems to bother replacing divots or repairing ball marks on the greens. When visiting earlier this week, there were even divots on several of the greens (unrepaired). I think the only treatment the course gets is an occassional mowing.
There are bunkers (or swimming pools in the rain). They have little sand and plenty of stones.
In terms of difficulty, it is a tricky layout. Often fairly tight out-of-bounds on the right (on at least 4 holes) punitive rough in many places and greens that have exceptional slopes (notably the 7th which is like a ski slope). Not so much a challenege as an ordeal.
Shop is functional (i.e. they can take your money and make you a cup of tea) and the welcome is perfectly good. Putting green currently has a great channel dug across the middle of it. Driving range is uncovered, uphill and poor quality balls.
Overall, cheap, but not particularly cheerful.

Good cheap(!) round.
Played Otterbourne a few times now, especially as I was learning. Good 9 hole course with interesting hole layout and course design, better than other 9 hole courses around. Downside, fairways are like roughs at better courses and greens are like fairways. But for a quick social round, certainly decent enough.Unfortunately, they have recently put their prices up to ?10 unless you buy a ?30 loyalty card to then reduce your green fee to ?5, so good value if you play there regularly enough and get the card. But for ?10 I would rather go to Avington park and pay ?13 for a 9 hole course.
