Fantastic course

Lovely course - quite difficult ; nine holes are longer than 400 yards, seven of which are Par 4's. Lovely setting, good greens (not super fast but true and undulating). No discernible water but lots of bunkers. Some very memorable holes. Even the short holes aren't easy. Not somewhere to take an occasional player.

Berkshire Gem

A warm welcome from the pro shop. Played with some rain on a lovely varying course. Tees, bunkers, fairways and greens were in excellent condition.

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.

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.

Absolute Stunner!!

A wonderful golf course in a wonderful setting. Even though we played on temp greens due to heavy rain for 3 days before playing we could not fault the experience of playing this challenging and picturesque course. They view from the fairway to the final green, with the outstanding clubhouse behind, is worth the visit on its own.

I played on an afternoon with a fair green fee of £29. The course is in lovely condition and with the irrigation system everywhere was green which make a change, there are 6 holes of over 400 yards off the yellows which is a good test and the shortest par four isn't really worth going for as they have a ditch at the back of the green. Hole 16 was very tough with the wind against and all bushes and trees down the left hand side catching any errant shots. good practice facilities too
