I played the course in February 2017 teeing off at midday. Although the course seemed quite busy when we arrived at around 1000 (we played footgolf in the morning), it was pretty quiet when we played so pace of play was as fast we could play. It took us 4.5 hours to complete the course.
I am a beginner and played with my 7 year old son. We found this to be a good test for beginners, with wide fairways and not much in the way of water hazards or other obstacles. Bunkers were pretty easy to negotiate too and the greens were in good condition. The fairways obviously drain well as there was hardly any mud and the grass was cut pretty short. There are not too many trees or hedges and the rough wasn't too difficult to play out of, albeit the deep rough is pretty testing for a beginner. There is OOB on a few holes, but we didn't find that an issue at all and found more balls than we lost!
We didn't use the range but the practice chipping and putting areas were very useful and in great condition. The owners and other golfers were very welcoming and polite.
Overall at ?23 for 18 holes for myself and my son, I felt this offered good value and whilst we won't be rushing back, I think this will be a good course to play in the winter months, due to the excellent drainage. Definitely a pay and play course that we will visit again though!

played an invitational there on saturday 19/12/2015, greens where excellent along with the course, the competition could of been organised a lot better, have not got a clue as to who won and where the final placings are, visited the club website and it is pretty sparce on any info on the comp, bacon buttie left a lot to be desired with the ketchup being warmer than the actual sandwhich, never played it in the summer months as prefer playing full size courses and to be honest swindon golf club is right nxt door to it and offers a better challenge, its not a course i would be rushing back to visit any time soon.

Nice little 9 holer (you can go round again for the 18). Quite flat (it's next door to a small airport) and some small trees being developed. Not much rough so you shouldn't lose any balls. We enjoyed it and would go back again.

The course is flat, open and fairly easy. That said, it is enough of a test to make it a good practice course and with a price of £9 for 9 holes or £12 (I think) for 18 it is certainly cheap! Some of the bunkers are in poor condition and the greens need a bit more care but the fairways are fine. The club is very welcoming and has changing and shower facilities if needed and a nice bar area with comfy chairs and many tables for a hot cup of tea or a beer.
On my last visit I was very disappointed to see that the mesh fence that separates the driving range from the last fairway is badly damaged and mostly missing which is rather dangerous if there are any lefties with a slice on the range (or someone with am huge fade!), there were a few range balls on the fairway and clearly this is not safe. I have been here a few times and would go again - but only if that fence is fixed!
