Lovely course - but not suitable for everyone

Heythrop is a great layout with many excellent and picturesque holes. But...

A group of of us (mixed ages mid-50s to 70s) played the course recently and there are several things they need to address for visiting parties.

The state of many of their pathways is appalling and indeed, in my opinion, extremely dangerous. On several holes these are little better than rock and pothole-strewn tracks and very tricky to walk along, particularly as they are often on steep inclines and climbs. Certainly not suitable for those less nimble on their feet than they once were.

The other two gripes are that walks from green to next tee are ludicrously long - particularly on the back nine - and on-course signage is less than clear, so playing the course unseen can mean it's difficult to know where to go next.

Some of our party had ordered buggies but these were banned - deemed to be dangerous to use in the conditions and quite rightly too - which meant that one of our party was unable to play either day and simply ended up going home.

I think tour operators, as indeed the course itself, should flag up the distances between holes and the tricky terrain to be navigated in some cases so those who may struggle will be forewarned and understand what they are booking. To give an idea - our home course off the yellow tees is approximately 13,000 steps. Heythrop off the yellows was 18,200.

There are no facilities in the golf shop for cooked food so bacon buttie enthusiasts may be disappointed if they travel any distance and fancy something to eat before they go out. The hotel, reasonably close, by does do breakfast wraps or full breakfasts but they are not cheap and in our party those who indulged found them very expensive and served cold.

In summary we thought the course was great, very picturesque and a tough challenge, but with those visiting in a group of mixed ages and abilities might be quite a struggle. I have ticked the "would not" recommend button only on the basis of the paths etc. not the golf course itself.

Poor conditions

We played this course in August and the conditions are really poor. I was told they dont have adequate equipment to cut the grass in certain areas.
We were a large society day and we had buggies break down and when we arrived we were told they had run out of range balls. Disappointing.

Massive potential

This course has the potential of being amazing, however there are some issues, lack of maintenance being one of them, although this been slowly improving, I would love to see this course back to its former glory.

Good long and interesting course

The course is well kempt with good greens and fairways. A number of holes have water hazards which can catch you out. Unfortunately the clubhouse does not provide the traditional starter bacon roll or any hot food during the day. Another problem is the approach road which is in a poor state of repair and, in my opinion, needs resurfacing. A long course not for the faint hearted and I would not attempt to play it without a golf buggy, particularly due to the distances between Green to Tee. So definitely a fair weather course.

Long, different, good VFM!

I played the course today, Nov 16th, and she was in pretty darn good nick tbf so hats off to the greenskeepers. I work on the site, but am not a member here, so see just how busy the greenskeepers are. They never stop. Every bunker was raked, greens cut and there was work appearing to be going on over different parts of the course.

To try to compare this course to any other I really struggle, it really doesn’t remind me too much of any other course I’ve played.

Set in a lovely area the course meanders around the handsome Heythrop Park house, which is a nice drive itself into the venue. There are great views of the house on offer on the 11th and 18th holes. There are 8 holes with water hazards but it only feels as if 3 of them really come in to play.

The signature hole is difficult to pick as the 5, 6, 8, 11, 13 and 18 are all notable for bags of character or uniqueness but the 6th Just pips it for me. It really is handsome, if Capability Brown had been in the business of designing golf courses back in the day then the 6th would have been one of his!

So the good bits, it’s quite different, intriguing, challenging, the greens are super even for Nov, it’s good value for money and much of the time it’s really quiet. There’s a smashing view walking down 18, which by the way needs some bunkers adding to give it more life.

The bad bits, we’ll there aren’t that many but, there’s some long steep up and down walks between some holes on the back 9. If you’re an older/unfit player I would recommend a buggy but £20 for a buggy! Seriously? Also 3 or 4 holes could do with some more work as more character is required for eg holes 3, 4, 16 and 17 are all “ok”.

Overall, handsome, enjoyable, well done to the keepers, good VFM but sort the cost of a buggy out please.

Will definitely be back.
