Lovely course, reasonable hotel

I don't often leave reviews but hopefully I can say something helpful about Heythrop.

Firstly, the setting is fantastic. If you like golf to be quiet and away from main roads, then it definitely ticks that box. However, as others have noted, it is very expansive, and a long walk. We played a round behind some older golfers, and it took 5:20 (yes, five hours and twenty minutes).

The review before this one mentioned the condition of the course - I don't know what it would have been like in April but I know that lots of courses have been struggling, perhaps as a knock-on effect of lockdowns. All I can say is that of the 5-6 courses I have played this year, Heythrop was in by far the best condition.

As for the holes themselves, we thought they were almost all fantastic. Nearly all of them give you some kind of visual challenge or interest from the tee box. Others have mentioned the 18th, which is an arrow-straight par 5 up to the mansion, and visually unlike any other hole I have seen, but there are many others, not all of them straightforward.

The hotel feels a little odd. We all commented on this and later found out that it used to be a Jesuit education college (!), which perhaps explains the feeling of the place, as well as the small size of the rooms. The food was reasonably good, although I would avoid the steak, which was of poor quality and poorly cooked (although this is clearly very easily remedied!). I should add that the package we booked gave us a very generous food allowance of £32.50 per person per day. The odd feeling was exacerbated by the difficulties they are clearly having with staffing at present. The "pro shop" closed at 5:30 every day. On our arrival day, we wanted a drink and some food at 10:30, to be told that none of the bars or restaurants were open, having closed at 10, and would only re-open at 11. Hopefully this is also something that they will be able to remedy in the future, too.

Good course - great scenery.

An interesting course with a deceptively easy start both physically and golf-wise . As the course progresses it becomes significantly more undulating with longer walks green -tee and the course toughens to ease off again at the end with a very long but flat and straight 18th hole with a superb view of the mansion. Torrential rain beforehand meant some muddy trails off piste.

Lovely golf course, some tricky holes but also a chance to score points. Nice and quiet for a Saturday morning and played at a good pace.

A hidden Gem

Had a great time playing is amazing scenery, a beautiful course that's as nice as any I've played on. The only thing that let it down was the quality of the greens and bunkers.

Heythrop Golf Resort is a fantastically beautiful course which is nestled in the Oxfordshire countryside. A long winding course with a buggy definitely needed for a quick round.

Reviewed Mar 23 2014

played on saturday morning thinking we would be rushing round in peak time but found it well paced.

the opening 4 holes are quite staight forward but still challenging due to the good undulating greens and tightly mown fairways. i thought the fairways were heathlike and proved more like a links course where you have to chip and run the ball to the correct part of the green. iron play had to be accurate and wedges particularly so. good run on the fairways despite the rain we have been experiencing. approach shots to the pin had to be good. puts were true.

stand out holes for me 5,6,9,11.

downside is the distance between holes on some. buggies would be good for anyone not in the fittest condition!

overall, i cant wait to go back and play better than i did the first time.

We were lucky to play on probably the only sunny day so far this year and were expecting to be knee deep in water / mud due to the storms we have had over the last month or so. All I can say is the groundstaff need to be awarded medals! The natural drainage helps to get water off the course but the condition was something I would expect during the early summer. The greens were slower than exptected but they were true and in great condition. Having now played the course 4 times, we have never been disappointed and the layout, apart from being rather long between some green's and tee's, is interesting at every turn with a number of the holes, especially the 6th, being up there with the best. Can't wait to return.

I have now played this course several times as I have a membership at one of the local clubs. After seeing the course develop and talking to the staff about the future plans. I'm now keen to take up my membership at Heythrop Park. In terms of what is on offer here compared to the normal members club in the area, there is no choice, Heythrop! The membership fee is certainly affordable at £999 and with the deal of 1 extra month, for me its a great deal to play one of the best golf courses in the South. Dont wait too long as I understand the price will be going back up once they get up to 300 members. Currently they are at around the 140 mark, which is a lot better than this time last year as I think the figure was around 30!! The management must be doing something right!!

St George?s day

Played Heythrop park for our annual St George?s day competition and we was not disappointed, greens and fairways were perfect. Only thing that could maybe be improved would be better markings on the tee boxes. Will definitely be returning
