Forest of Dean Golf Club

Course is fantastic. Great condition and really challenging playing for the first time and a bargain at the price. Staff were really friendly and helpful. However, as I drive into the car park I saw a number of group queuing on the first tee box I don’t think anything about it until it was my turn to tee off, two 2 balls in front of me and a two ball behind……nothing storage about that until we met at every tee box. The pace of play was so slow there were people queuing at every tee box you look at. It took me, a single golfer 2 hours 50 mins to play 9 holes. I’d had enough at this point and left. All 9 holes had the two 2 balls in front of me waiting for the group I front of them.

I was really disappointed as the course in great, just too many people playing too slow. Real shame.

Played here twice with month and although I played it years ago in club matches, I forgot how good a course it is. Great layout, nice holes. Well maintained, tricky greens, nice proshop and welcoming clubhouse and overall really enjoyed. If I lived closer I would join at the bargain rate of £575 per year.

To all involved, keep up the good work.

As Arnie would say.... "I'll be back"

We play this course regularly as it’s great value for money, it’s in good condition and the greens are spot on

Layout and condition of the course was pretty good, although the greens are fairly small.

Pace of play however was excruciatingly slow, to the point where I walked in after fourteen holes. I suppose that's what happens with hotel courses but it spoilt the day.

Really nice course lots of trees but still room to play around them. Well bunkered I was lucky not to end up in one. I enjoyed it though felt I could have scored better. Only two minor negatives in that shop was closed mid afternoon when I arrived and after round so no access to scorecard or to rate staff. Also found pace of greens difficult like most might need a bit of water at moment but for price a decent value round of golf.

Beautiful course set in stunning forest scenery, holes were all very varied and just the right mix of challenging and enjoyable. Greens were immaculate as was the general condition of the course. Staff in the pro shop were lovely and allowed us to start early which was appreciated. Absolute bargain, only criticism was the lack of a range or warm up area but this didn't stop us enjoying what is a lovely course all round.

Nice layout, decent conditions, great value with a “hot deal”. Greens were a teeny bit bumpy and the bloke in the shop wasn’t particularly friendly

Nice setting and friendly staff. Sadly the wet has taken its toll on a handful of the greens, with sections covered or waterlogged. Fairways were cut quite long. The course layout isn’t great as tee boxes and greens are squeezed in close to each other and you have to cross over in front of tees to get to many of the holes

Wasn’t expecting much because of the price but what can I say. Perfect course for beginner and advanced players. Lovely fairways and lovely greens. Definitely one of my top 5 courses in Gloucestershire to play and unbeatable green fees.

Was blown away by the course and price, Pro was really helpful and kind. Course was great and well maintained, greens were challenging but fun to play, bunkers were well maintained and played more like summer bunkers than winter bunkers. All in all great day out and would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

All greens were in play and the course was in a really good condition after a few days of dry weather . Amazing value for money

A nice course, set in a beautiful woodland, with natural ponds and streams to add to the mix. Course considering the rainy weather in recent weeks was payable. 2 holes were closed, but provisions were made to play the 1st and 18th again, so you could still get your full round in. 1 temporary green with a larger whole to compensate was a bit rubbish, but that’s winter golf for you. The only frustration was the significant delay at the 1st tee off area., followed by an exceptionally slow round of golf, two people playing should not take 5 hours 15 minutes to complete the round. Slow play from the womans members team, that seamed to be slotted in last minute , looks like they forgot about them while organising the days booking slots and added them in irrespective of anybody’s tee time slots combined with not being able to play through, due to so many 4 balls in front made it a long day.. at least the half way hut was open and gave us clarity on the delay as the pro golfer in the shop, didn’t provide much insight, I think he was the reason for everybody's delay. But I would play again for sure, friendly staff, nice food and this will be a cracking course in the spring.

Nice woodland course in pretty good condition considering the recent weather

Good course layout, with winter tee areas good to play off. Bunkers all raked and for winter good sand. Greens a tiny bit slower but it’s winter, no flooding and nothing water logged. This course will be great in the spring and summer and offers a good game in the winter

Really nice course,great facilities and only 45 minutes from Bristol ..

We will be returning

Course in fantastic condition for January all bunkers in great conditions, fairways and greens all very good

I paid £8.99 for the full 18 holes, I only got to play 16 as 12 & 13 were not open, but the guy at the pro shop said I could play an extra few holes to make up for them being closed. The course was in incredible shape for the middle of January, and greens were surprisingly fast. Some boggy areas under foot but honestly I'm not going to complain.

Also a shout out to the guy in the pro shop (sorry I forgot your name), for allowing me to borrow a club wrench and sort my driver out before I started my round.

For the price this course is a MUST!
