Donnington Grove Country Club

My son and I love playing Donnington Grove - we are cheap-skates and therefore go the Golf Now route and on this occasion, whilst we enjoyed the golf, it was hard work and not just a buggy no-no but also a trolley nightmare! We slipped and slid our way around, casual water all over the place and our pull or rather push trolleys invariably became clogged up with mud and I must say that by the end, I was shattered! Good exercise though.

However, the weather was perfect, we went round in under 4hrs and the greens were superb. Everything looked good and apart from the walk to the 2nd and to the 9th, the course layout is terrific and the views are wonderful.

I will avoid playing the course in the winter from now on and I think rather play those courses on chalk or chalk and flint based ground. We will however be back in the summer - it has a very relaxed atmosphere, is challenging enough and not desperately crowded.

Always a challenge but after playing many local courses over the last couple of months then this is probably the best condition. Tee, greens and bunkers all in great nick. Couple of fairways a little muddy but honestly the rest were really good.....for the time of the year.

Played Drayton (Abingdon) a few weeks ago and both are the same price. Drayton was totally awful, we will go back to Donnington Grove

Great course, in really good condition for a hotel/resort course even after a mornings deluge of rain it had drained really well. As per other reviews, expect a couple of long-ish walks from from Green to tee, but it’s not the end of the world unless you’re in a hurry. Thoroughly enjoyable test with some decent length challenging par 4s and 5s. It’s not all driver/wedge and each hole is different. I’ll come back and play it again.

Played two rounds here as part of a Golfbreaks package, we were 42 mins late for tee off and round one due to a slow competition before us.

There were about 7 parties stacked up before us(i get that these things happen but it would have been nice to know so we could have chosen a better tee time).

Day two was also a very slow day and we did not get to finish our round due to the night closing i, we managed 12 holes in over 6 hours which we can get over.....what we cannot get over is the lack of ownership from the club, we complained to the third party booking company and Donnington denied it and made remarks about us "wanting a freebie".

The course is actually pretty decent and the greens are great, but the club is trying to squeeze too many golfers in and they have a very poor attitude, if they had owned up and apologised we may have returned.

Round of golf about 4 hours 45. Long long walks a couple of times between holes. Ok if you are in a buggy. Greens were excellent. Enjoyable afternoon but slow old round of golf

Long tough course, with bunkers designed to catch any inaccurate shots into the greens. But very well managed with greens and fairways in excellent condition.

Last second booking the night before. Man I am so happy I booked it. The layout is long, let that be a warning! Worth every step.

The course plays difficult with some well cut rough and course design. It definitely tests your metal. Loved every moment out there. Get to hit it long. Lots of wedge opportunities. It had it all. Greens were so good.

Seriously; the walk between some holes is ridiculous.

Clubhouse was messy on the patio literally every table was messy. The bartend was keen to tell me he was soon off but other person was late. Shame really, place is a jewel. Had the club, it was alright. 2 pieces of bread.. lol. Whatever. That’s me being picky. Fries were undercooked though.

Beer was cold and tasty

Still a 5 star rating for my visit

Always a tough challenge !

Course in good condition , only thing that slightly let it down on the fay were the greens wgich made them slower than usual and slighly unpredictable at times ,

Would definitely return and look forward to tryi g to break 80 on a real challenging course

Interesting course kept well.

Unfortunately really slow, late teeing off on the first!

Great layout in pretty good condition. Faiways very firm but greens in good condition.

Afternoon spoiled by an incredibly slow round of golf with no marshalling in evidence.

We really enjoyed our round on a beautiful summers day for golf. The course is exceptionally well laid out and includes stunning views of Donnington Castle and surrounding countryside. Great value at £30 each. We will be back.

Wind certainly made a tough course even harder than it should have been!!

Always a challenging course off the whites

Lovely course , greens were excellent, fairways cut very tight, bunkers all raked and well maintained, tee off boxes all in good order,

Always enjoy playing here

The only thing that was Crap

Was my !🏌️‍♂️

Great day long course in great condition fast greens

Great course in good condition and pleasure to play. Fantastic value for money.

Another great day on a pristine well maintained course.

Last played this course when it was named Parasampia. The layout is interesting with great features and inviting fairways. Decided to walk with bag and trolley 😩, be warned it’s a long course. However I thoroughly enjoyed every fairway and green. Great facilities including a treat halfway house. All in all a great day on a great course with friendly players and course staff. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
