Rude and dated - but good course
Attitude to visitors atrocious. Had driven 2 hours to play at the course, only to be greeted by an interrogation on my attire. Upon explaining I'd driven a fair distance and needed to use the changing facilities, I was "generously" told I could pay for my round once I had changed. Upon changing I was promptly upsold a pair of white socks, as clearly the definition of smart dress code, is white ankle socks only. Left a pretty sour taste. Would add the course was in excellent condition, but to be honest this is exactly the type of golf club with dated attitudes that puts people off golf.Reviewer Rating

£30 (which although I appreciate is a big reduction from their usual fee) for a twilight round with 18 temporary greens is not good at all. The greens were wet but some may have been used, and they looked good so very disappointing not to go on of them.

Played Sonning on a lovely day before the rains plummeted down in late April. The course has recently been changed around and indeed it is only a week since all the changes have been implemented, the 1st now being the old 8th, and the 18th is now a completely new hole, a par 5 of 465 yards, and a fine hole at that. A very easy walking course, Sonning is just two years away from its centenery and the course is in a fine mature setting with many trees and substantial gorse. A number of long par 4's ensure a good test of ball hitting ability and indeed, this is shown with the rare situation of SSS being one more than Par off Whites. There are no real "death or Glory" holes, but there are also no real weak ones, and overall, it is a very satisfactory golf course that should please all who play there. As an added bonus, a very pleasant and efficient pro, and a warm welcome from all in the clubhouse for a solo visitor as I was - always appreciated

Our annual society visit with coffe and bacon rolls to get the day underway.
Course in pretty good condition but for second year running the greens were slow and could have done with a cut, so don't be fooled by the pace of the putting green.

Classic parkland and well-maintained course
A very well-maintained course. Nice and old-style in a pleasant picturesque part of the country. Holes are decent, just a little too flat(Round played: Oct 2021 - Score: 86 Handicap: 13.9)
