Chiltern Forest Golf Club

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.

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!

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!

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 condition

Great layout

Great views

I didn’t eat or drink in the bar so cannot judge that

Would highly recommend

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.

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.

Course in excellent nick. Trees always in your eye line. Testing with only 16th a tad unfair.

Really beautiful course - you could be in the Alps

friendly staff.

Decent course that is very hilly.

Was told on the 1st tee after hitting 5 iron by a member who watched me tee off "that the committee prefer people to use tees". Very strange thing to say and a absurd rule.

Has some winter damage but will be good in summer

Really interesting course in fabulous condition considering to hirrendous rain this week. The only downside is a lot of crossing fairways. Be warned, the course is very hilly. Staff were very friendly, will definitely play again.

Really nice, well kept and great views. Recommend a buggy as it’s hard work!

Really enjoyed the course! Only thing to note very hilly definitely worth getting buggy makes for great views and interesting holes though.
