What a great course. Fantastic holes and a great thrill to play it for the first time. The pro was very welcoming and slotted us in as we hadn't booked. Thanks fir a great experience.

Great Old Course

Royston is a very challenging course set on the North Chiltern Hills. A fantastic layout and a good challenge for experienced players. The rough can be very thick, and is a difficult course for high handicappers.

Tough Course

Deep Rough & bunkers make this a difficult course to navigate around. Also, most holes are affected by prevailing wind. Greens in good nick.

Hidden Gem

Played here April 19.

My 2nd visit to Royston & just as good as the 1st time.

Very interesting ,good fun, hilly high up open natural course that seems to go under the radar with links characteristics & good views. Is much better than it looks from the road below. Loads of excellent & unusual holes & i didn't think there was a weak hole on it which is testament to the clever design .

Great collection of 5 par 3's which are all different in their own way .

Will be well conditioned when you play ,You have to think a lot more than normal on approach shots & they will need to be precisely struck & accurate .

It's easy to get to from the A1 (m) & from the clubhouse you drive to the 1st tee & it's a bargain at £12.50 each on Tuesday afternoons.

If you haven't played this before & don't mind several steep climbs allied with loads of excellent holes that aren't run of the mill then this is a must play.

Hilly and short but tough in the wind

A stiff breeze made it tough to score well and the greens were irregular speeds considering some had been airiated and some just sanded. 4 3-putts for me which was 200% more than all the rest of the rounds in 2019. Shows you the state and uneveness of the greens

Open "Links" type course, very hilly, worth a visit

First time visiting this course, very open and hilly, wouldn't want to visit on a windy/wet day.
Some interesting holes, as a first time visitor playing a number of holes a bit blind. got an acceptable 30 points, playing off a 25 handicap.

Proper golf course, miles from the sea!

Royston is a stunner. Carved into the side of a hill, it is a tough walk but we'll worth it for the sheer joy of the holes you are presented with. Blind shots, elevated tees and knee length grass if you miss the generous fairways make it a harsh but fair test on what is fundamentally an inland links course. You'll probably get a better score the second time you play it unless you play with someone who knows their way around. If the wind blows, you might want to pack a few extra balls.

Highly recommended.

Really enjoyable round.
Fairly wide and open off the tee so great course for those not very straight.
Nice offers of varied lengths to keep you on your toes with some Challanging par 3's.
The greens are well protected and not a crazy fast.
Some holes are fairly blind so pay attention to the course layout on the scorecard.
Overall a good enjoyable course and buggy is more than likely needed.

Enjoyable and challenging course with some hefty climbs

Course is laid out on the edge of a steep hill, holes go mainly back and forth across the edge, I would say 5-6 fall in into the "angina hill" category. So, overall a challenging hilly course with positioning the approach shot key to scoring well. It is not long but you need to read the fairways correctly to have your ball end the correct side to come in to each green, the course drains well and when it's dry it's hard to hold many of the greens, often you need to bounce in from the correct side, you can run off the edges of many sloping fringes if you place it wrong. Greens themselves are flat-ish overall, a little disease from the Spring left when I played and a couple of real downhill front to back slopes to be wary off. Helps to have played it before for sure, who knew I could hit the 230yds par 3 10th with a five iron....

Great views all around the county on many holes and the real question is would I play it again? Yes. Top tip: once you have paid, drive your car to the rugby club car park and avoid the incredibly long walk from the clubhouse to the course and back.

Excellent bar and very friendly members!
