Very slow play
Started at 12.30 finished at 5.30 behind 3 x 4 balls playing texas scramble. No control by the club, no warden. Basically tough. £60 for myself and my wife. Day ruined.Reviewer Rating

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.

Greens were all being worked on and all bunkers were dug up or had no sand in them. They didn't even bother to mark these as GUR. At no point when booking my tee time or even when paying on arrival were we informed of this. The walks between holes on the back 9 were laughable. Club house prices also extortionate although due to our complaints post round they gave us a free drink (but not a panini at £6.95 each)...

Hidden gem but awful tee boxes
Played 21st July for the third time in around 6 years.Its a great track, with some fantastic holes from around 4 to 15 but in poor condition.
With the recent lack of rain i expected brown fairways but not bare tee boxes.
Unfortunately it looks like they have no sprinklers on the tee boxes, so have completeley lost them.
However the greens were fantastic, great speed and very true, it was a chalk and cheese scenario.
I will play again as i think its a great track but not till next year now, as i feel the tee boxes and fairways will take some time to recover
Buggy definitely recommended as some long walks from green to next tee

A long slow walk
Started at 230pm, finished at 730. Very slow pace of play, lots of long walks between holes which ruined the round and the course for me. The course is interesting and very tough. Many blind shots which makes it tricky for a visitor. Wonderful views of house. Pro shop is not well stocked or staffed!(Round played: Sep 2020 - Score: 96 Handicap: 18.8)

Reviewed Sep 25 2016
Course is great, can't complain at all about that. But a 6.5 hr round?! There were 7 four balls queued on the 1st tee and it transpired talking among the groups that the club were packing them in with 4 4-balls scheduled to tee off in 10 mins. So a slow round already then imagine our group's surprise arriving on the 10th (usually at this point with a 10-15 min wait every tee) that a further 18 were queueing here to tee off. Terrible organisation. Our second round we saw people driving buggies on the greens and playing down the 18th as a group of 8. Ridiculously badly managed - the course is a gem, but they need to manage it, have a Marshall and a starter. Clubhouse is terrible too - tiny building, no real shop and a bar whose only real food option on the Sunday afternoon was a tuna sandwich. Didnt make uou want to hang around and spend your money there - no off-course experience whatsoever. Great course, poor management and real lack of facilities.

I reckon this course will be great to play in the summer. The course layout is excellent and favours players who play the ball left to right.
The course was just in poor condition. The greens were unplayable (repair work under way - very sandy) and there was a lot of wildlife damage. Same goes for the tee boxes. I'll pay it again in the Summer.

The course is in a beautiful setting but it is new and needs time to get properly established. When we played last summer the fairways were particularly poor especially the 11th hole where it has hard to find any grass for all the weeds! There are some interesting holes but there are so many better places to play golf in the area including the lovely course at Chipping Norton which is just down the road (and no I'm not a member before you ask)!

Great Potential, but let down by course design
Clearly confined by the original park layout and converting it into a golf course, the design of many of the longer holes is perplexing and in some cases just poorly thought out. Together with the winding paths between tees its makes for an incredibly challenging course to walk (seemingly everyone has a buggy because of this). The grounds of the manor house are impressive and provide scenic views, just a shame the course itself couldn't live up to them.Reviewer Rating

Work Required
Having not played here for over 8 years I was very disappointed with the condition of some of the course. Tee boxes were awful, clearly not been watered for long time, very little grass on some and covered in sand on othersGreens again have clearly not been watered for a long time, brown and dying in patches and it only late may. I would hate to see then in a few weeks without any water.
Paths are untidy and the general appearance looks in kept in places
Fairways were excellent. It is such a shame, this course could be fantastic it is fairly clear warners who have taken over are not that interested in the golf. £40 a round is too much for the state of the course.

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.

Interesting & Different
An interesting course in the grounds of an old historic house tuned into a hotel and conference center. The course is spread out through the estate grounds and a good long walk and quite a lot of walking from green to tee so good shoes and an electric cart advisable. This did however make the course interesting and lovely views of the Cotswolds and the estate grounds. We paid ?17.50 per head on a deal for a four ball with bacon rolls & coffee so were very happy at the value for money at that price. Weekends before 12pm are ?45 a round!! - the course and paths are not that well manicured to justify that cost, look out for the deals would be my advice. Would I return - yes a good challenge, good excercise, great countryside a different course not simply up and down fairways.Reviewer Rating

There is a lot of walking between holes on the back 9, we agreed on buggies if we played again.
