What a gem
Great course, amazing views, so good we booked it again the week after.
Friendly, criss cross course
I was paired with 2 other very friendly Golf Now players who had played the course before (it was like having my own caddy 😀). This helped me navigate a tricky criss crossing course that is hilly in parts. Overall, I had an enjoyable round and would recommend the course and I will play there again soon.
Lovely Course
Course was immaculate and very well kept throughout! Very hilly a good walk out and challenging course even though it’s not very long.
Holes crossing fairways and the significant hills can make for slightly slow play but worth it for some of the holes as the whole course was in amazing condition.
Would go back and play without a doubt!
Tough walk !
2nd time playing here, very quirky course with some stunning views and a really good mix of holes. It is a really hard walk though, lots of steep hills and rounded off with a killer climb up the 16th ! Even with a battery powered trolley, its tough, our group all agreed, we would probably hire buggies next time !
The staff were super friendly and welcoming and a good selection of beers in the bar afterwards. Only downside were 2 or 3 of the greens had some pretty bad animal damage, and they had all recently been hollow tined - the speed of them wasn't particularly consistent.
Lovely scenic course.
A tough walk as very undulating but really a great setting and a pleasure to play.
Scenic views a pity about the greens
Been a few years since played here but remember the views & the quality of the greens, alas they had all been hollow tined covered in sand with no prior warning, appreciate it needs doing but in the middle of August?
Once bedded I'm the sure the greens will be back upto scratch, staff all pleasant & friendly, suggest leave it a few weeks before playing but nice views.
Chiltern forest
First time playing this course and it did not disappoint,greens in excellent condition not the fastest I have played but a true roll and consistency through 18 holes.Tee boxes in very good condition as were the fairways with a good level of green grass ( I have paid double the green fee elsewhere and the courses have not in as good condition will definitely return soon.This is a challenging course and if you were having an off day your card would definitely reflect it.
Challenging and great condition
Great mix of holes all with their own traps and challenges to negotiate.
Pace of play wasn’t terrible, but a bit slow - I think in part due to the nature of the overlapping holes (up down and across at times) there’s always a reason to have to wait and be quiet so as not to disturb or disrupt other.
Will definitely be back, had a really great time and would recommend to golfers if any level, bit of a mix of abilities in our group and a great time was had by all. Thank you!
Excellent as always
First time reviewing, the course is immaculate at the moment. Greens and fairways are luscious and green. This place is a great value for money as well. Putting some of the snootier clubs in the area to shame!
Weekday single
Considering the hot dry year we’ve had the course is in amazing condition, still lash and green, with fast and true greens. Some tough climbs with my push trolley, but a real treat with lots of variety to the holes in this compact layout.

Great Value
Great condition
Great layout
Great views
I didn’t eat or drink in the bar so cannot judge that
Would highly recommend
Good course. Tough walk
I came away thinking, never again without a buggy. This is a hilly course. The last 3 holes is like climbing a mountain after you’ve already run a marathon. Hate to say it but it wasn’t much fun at times. There are some interesting holes and the course was in great condition. A few greens under repair but the rest of it was top quality. The staff in the shop and the bar were great. If you’re young and very fit, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re middle age and enjoy life, get a buggy or swerve it.
Use flags to hit cross other fairways
We arrive early, check-in at the Pro shop to confirm tee time & pick up score, nothing usual. Except this course has some special local rules & there is no starter on the first tee box which is +300yrd walk away. Played the first normal short Par 4 STR8 hole no issues. Go2 the 2nd hole which tees off over a.deep gully. Got shouted at bye golfers below for some reason, all shouts flew well over the gully down a 300yrd fairway. Walk down & access the fairway to find locals upset that we didn't use the flag on the Tee box to indicate we were Tee off. We apologise & said we never knew.
Secondly the first half dozen Green have in terrible condition with bumps & lumps all over, possibly caused by weed killer treatment, Not good for the price we paid.
