Lovely course & very friendly

Second visit to Sonning, course was in great condition and the hospitality before, during and after was worth a mention - especially as my 4-ball voucher expired in October but the club Secretary was very accommodating in assisting in re-arranging. Good mix of holes, good greens and reasonably priced.

Played here quite a few times but this was the best condition I've ever seen it in! Greens were really fast. I'm afraid the club itself blotted its copybook. £5.10 for a small bottle of San Miguel is disgusting!!!

Love playing this course

Despite weeks without rain the fairways were a green oasis and the greens fast and tricky as always.

A hot humid day with thunderstorms forecast and with covid restrictions the drinks served on the patio as the rain started were very much deserved. As a visiting society we were very well looked after.

Good Course

Played here twice now and both times the course has been great. The greens on the second occasion has just been treated, so a bit bumpy. There are some mighty long par 4's that require a good old thump with the mashie. Quite strong par 3's, it really is a good knock, give it a go.

Good value

Teed off from 12th on pros advice as competition had just started on 1st. Course was in good condition but greens has been treated so slightly bobbly but consistent speed and fairways maybe a tad long. Friendly members and no hold ups so got round quickly. Great value as played using a hot deal so under ?40 each for a very nice course was excellent value. Nice clubhouse and decent drink selection.

Very well designed - makes you think!

Specific tee times are not bookable, but I’d called a few days earlier and was advised when would be a good time to play. On this Friday morning the course wasn’t busy. An impressive clubhouse & Pro shop where I was given a friendly welcome.... I felt I was in for a good day.

Course is very well laid out with a good mix of longer holes with wide fairways and some short, tighter par-4’s, where accuracy is important. Several holes have cross bunkers so you have to know your club distances. No water in play but straying too far from the fairway will find trouble in trees, longer grass or mounds/hollows that will leave an awkward recovery.

The four par-3 holes are fantastic. All well protected by bunkers so again, club distance is vital, although you’ll probably only need an iron. They’re all short, max 152 yds from yellows.... who really needs a par-3 hole over 200yds? (I hope my home club read this!!)

Sonning is a beautiful golf course, maintained to perfection. I found no negatives.... even the air line had enough pressure to remove all grass from my shoes & trolley! Not local for me, but I will be playing here again.
