De Vere Wychwood Park

I have played this course many times and i am always impressed with the overall condition. Even after the bad weather we have had recently, the course was in good condition.

The greens, as always here were to a good standard (all things considered with the weather)

They were doing work on the 17th hole and this hole was closed which i was not told about before booking, which i was slightly annoyed about but the pro did apologise. These things happen and it looked like the work they were doing will make that hole better once completed. It certainly did not spoil the day.

All in all, i will be back and i would highly recommend.

Although the weather was rather wet and had been for a couple of days the course played amazingly well, and the greens were perfect.

Delighted with conditions in spite of a lot of rain over the past week. The course is quite long but has a wide range of tees to suit everyone. I chose the tees that led me in to most fairway bunkers, which was an error. Greens are terrific with huge undulations. The food and drinks were good but pretty pricey imo.

Everything about this course is excellent.. For this time of year the course was in an amazing condition.. Every hole is a challenge, either distance wise, bunkers, ponds or streams are always an issue.. loved it

Played a solo round but pace was good on a very hot evening. Good and varied course well recommended.

Now don’t get me wrong this course is tough. If you aren’t on your A game you will lose balls (rough is so penal - 5 yards of the fairway and you’ll lose a ball) and at the moment it is absolutely none hard and despite the greens being beautifully green they aren’t receptive at all. The greens are in very good condition and roll quick and true. We played the course in strong winds which always seemed to be in our faces and we’re glad we decided to play off the 138 tees as the 6400ish yards it was playing felt more like 7000! It’s such a stern test of golf and higher handicappers will struggle - if you play to handicap then you’ve played well. Good facilities including grass range and putting green. Very friendly starter/course Marshall.

One negative and this is a big one is the pace of play which was torturously slow. You should always expect a 4 hour plus round but having played here a lot today was the worst at over 5 hours as a 2 ball, not helped by us going off after 4 fourball all lady groups. They were painfully slow and almost spoiled the day for us but as they say a bad day on the course is better than a good day at work!

Do not waste your money playing this course until they either erect signs and hole numbers (there are none) and a course map on the score card (there isn’t one).

None of the tees have markers to tell you what you’re playing off, and unbelievably none of the holes even tell you what hole that you’re playing.

I got lost 3 times and then missed 4 holes and went from the 12th to the 17th and then realised my error when I got to the end of the 18th and the clubhouse.

Also, anything off of the fairway is 3-4 foot high rough and so take 2 boxes of balls if you can’t hit the fairway every time.

Absolute joke and a waste of time and money.

I will never play this course again.
