Well worth a visit
The setting is incredible and there are some awesome views around the course. The course itself is challenging and not in the best condition but it is still well worth the green feesReviewer Rating

The Bristol bog
Looks like it could be a great course in the summer. But it's so wet now it virtually unplayable! We should not have been charged full price to play on a marsh!Reviewer Rating

A good test of golf. Easy to lose a ball if you lose concentration. Can be a bit boggy in places when wet. Excellent clubhouse and facilities

The course was heavy going but considering the weather and the time of year it was not that bad. The greens had been worked on so the club offered a reduction of £10 on the green fees. Which was appreciated.
The club house seemed to have a lot more activity and the staff was very helpful. The only downside was that the drink was or seemed expensive

Course in excellent condition with lots of work having been carried out to improve drainage. Greens a bit slow and I had to repair lots of pitch marks open every green - don't know why people don't do this as a norm. Very disappointed with the clubhouse food situation - breakfast not served after 11:30 and no gluten free bread.

Excellent condition
The only criticism i had about the course was that it seemed to have too many people on the course that did not know how to conduct themselves and dress code was not good. Lots of society groups out and this may of been the reason. The marshal was very good and was checking up on everyone but it did seem to be very slow. I would not recommend this club as this seemed to be a fault on the day. We completed the course in 4.5hrs but the other groups before us i was told completed the course in 5.5hrs, which is not good. The club was quiet and did not have any atmosphere, and the bar staff looked like they wanted to go home and lock up . Not good really and this does need to be addressed. we teed off at 1400hrs and just got back in time before it got dark. Some building work was being done on the back three holes but this in fairness never effected our game. We are all members of other clubs around the Bristol area and we all felt that these issues should be addressed. One final point the showers we also used, and they were in fact cold.(Round played: Oct 2021 - Score: 104 Handicap: 24.5)

Excellent Friday
Course great, greens very good tough pin positions but believe competition on the Saturday. most staff friendly but a bit over the top re masks/face coverings I didn't have mine on me just popped in club house where there were 2 people so distancing no problem and told to leave, lifted shirt up over nose and mouth but that wasn't good enough, I know we have been told certain things but a little common sense wouldn't go a miss in these crazy days. All in all great day and bringing drinks round on course excellent.(Round played: Aug 2020 - Score: 84 Handicap: 12.4)

Lots of interesting holes providing stern challenge for a high handicapper like me and my lower handicapper playing partner. Great views over the Severn Vale. The walk up a very steep hill to the 18th is the only negative.

Excellent layout with many varied holes. It had rained all the previous day and early morning, stopping just as we teed off which was a relief, the course was in great condition - no puddles on the course just on walkways, greens a. bit slow but as expected. Condition of all aspects was great. Pace of play good and pro very friendly and helpful.

Good value
Twilight rates at £13 cannot go wrong here. I wouldn't pay full price to play here but these twilight rates are excellent when other courses in the area are trying to charge too much cough (Thornbury).Really nice course fairly busy as you would imagine.
Green were really quick considering the recent rain and they caught me out multiple times.
