Played on a twilight rate of £15 on 30th April 2014, and received a warm welcome in the clubhouse as a first time visitor
As others have said, the rough is dense in places and the grass on some fairways and most green approaches needed cutting. Lots of standing water on a few fairways, (7th, 11th, 14th & 16th), and there were a number of water filled bunkers. Considering the amount of the rain, the greens have held up well, although they were slow.
However, overall it's a good test as it plays longer than the scorecard and you need to keep out of the rough. But you will need to wait for drier conditions for a more accurate opinion.

Reviewed May 13 2012
I've played here quite a bit and I would say it's a good length and a fair challenge for the higher handicappers but I feel a low handicap player would eat it up for dinner. The rough is always tricky, often difficult to get a clean connection. The fairways are not always cut as often as one would like leaving you wondering sometimes if you're playing from the first cut. The greens are always slow and some would say do not present much of a challenge (but somehow I can still manage to find spots to 3 putt from!). In Winter and SPring the course can be very wet due to how low it is and poor darinage although there is always work going on trying to remedy this as much as possible. All this sounds negative I know, but for all the downs to this course I still enjoy playing here as when you play well it rewards but when you do not play well it spanks your behind.

Only second time I’ve played at Theale, first occasion felt it was poor due to greens not in good shape. However on this round greens we’re good and looked after so great improvement

Worth a look
I've played this course many times now and for me it's everything I need. I play off 27 so this course can be quite challenging, the ground staff are always changing, updating the course. A well groomed course, my only gripe would be the tee boxes could be more level, flat.Reviewer Rating
