Well worth a visit if in Oxford area
I read the Golfshake reviews and agree 100% the greens are magnificent. Not overly undulating but well manicured and the ball rolls true. They had fertilized them and added some blue liquid feed to them so the colour of them is a fantastic green.Some really interesting holes. Really enjoyed the dogleg left 3rd. the short par 4 6th is full of danger - a great hole. not forgettig the SI 1 par 4 15th which looks nonchalant from the tee, but a tricky green to reach.
A couple of the par 3's whilst short feature lots of water making them real nerve janglers.
All the tees were perfectly manicured too.
Par 5's were modest in length so quite par'able
Proper wow factor on the 18th tee.
Overall well worth the £50 green fee.
There is more water than trees so it should be Studley Lakes not Studley Wood.
Highly rate the sausage bap to finish in the very nice terrace
Happy with an 83 for my first visit

Tuesday twoball
Played this with my son as we were staying in the area. Had to call because booking system doesn't cater for juniors, then pleasantly surprised to find my green fee was only £24 compared with £40 online. We arrivdd early and had plenty of time to hit balls on the range, practise chipping and putting, whicn was necessary because the greens are like lightning!We found ourselves behind two fourballs, but this wasn't too bad because we were in no hurry and there was noone behind us. The course has skme excellent holes such as the 3rd, 8th and most of tbe back nine. Plenty of room to open your shoulders, but you need to be in the right place on the fairly large greens.
I would on!y mark down one hole, the 2nd, simlly because it is a blind tee shot and we had no course guide or app to help us. There isn't even a marker post to give you a clue about line. The club website doesn't have a course guide which is disappointing.
The othe comment I would make is that the course generally lacks definition, but this may be because we are still early in ths season and the grass needs to grow. The result of this made itmore difficult to see the fairways and greens.
I would certainly come back, but not before I have learnt to putt better!

Excellent Course
Visited today with a friend. We were both very impressed by this course. There is a variety of challenging & less challenging holes. The course is in superb conditions - my colleague observed that some of the tees were in better condition than certain other courses we'd visited in Oxfordshire. The greens were like billiard tables, and very well maintained.Highly recommended.Reviewer Rating

Beautiful course, must visit.
Studley Wood is much loved and reviewed well, and I can totally understand why. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, it feels like a great club. A large welcoming clubhouse with a huge bar, loads of seating and a well stocked pro shop inside, with very friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. The intiial view of the course is spectacular, with views of some of the 14 lakes that pepper the course. The layout is nothing short of wonderful, the front 9 takes you around the perimeter of the land, bringing you perfectly back to the clubhouse, before the back 9 plays within view of the clubhouse until you reach the 15th, where you head back out towards the perimiter for a stunning final 4 holes. It is honestly very difficult to pick out some favourite holes because every hole has been designed to offer a unique feel and challenge, and they have succeeded. The 3rd is a particularly attractive dogleg left par 4, with water to clear from the tee and a small lake protecting the green at the front, in the autumn this hole really shone with t he colours of the trees and the sun poking through giving it a stunning glow. The downhill par 3 that follows is also incredibly attractive and with a river running in front of the green feeeding another small lake on the right, very challenging. The 6th intimidates with a large lake down the left side but with an open and inviting fairway in front of you, is a very fun hole to go after. The 8th has a hiuge lake to the right which bleeds in front of the bean shaped green, which is narrow but long. 9 gives you a very small window to aim for between 2 lakes, with an aggressive bunker putting your eye off from pumping one safely down the right. On the back 9, the 12th has a stunning teebox set in the middle of the lake next to the 8th hole, firing at a very tight dogleg round to a small green, a short hole but a challening one. A tougher run follows as you go through holes stroke index 3, 2 and 1 in that order. 16 17 and 18 close the course in a stunning way, first with the downhill par 3 16th that looks back over parts of the front 9, elevated above the fairways giving you great views of the Oxfordshire countryside. The 17th is a par 5 with a blind tee shot, which reveals a beautiful hole as you go over the top, looking down to what looks like an infinity green at the end, rolling off into stunning views the otherway across the county. Before the 18th tee box takes your breath away and gives you an incredible view of the whole property as well as incredible and far reaching views across Oxfordshire. It's stroke index 18 and with it's high tee position, the par 5 last is gettable in 2 for a lot of people. 2 lakes flank the fairway as yu get towards the green and a large bunker protects the left side. In all a stunning golf course, beautifully thought out, incredible fun to play and very welcomingReviewer Rating

Fantastic view from clubhouse from the top floor lounge, friendly staff. Great set up with very well maintained golf course and flag allocations noted before tee off using yardage book. Practice facilities need a small upgradeReviewer Rating
