Forest of Dean Golf Club

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!

Ironically I live opposite the course, but haven’t played for a long time, this was my first outing for 8 years.

Friendly welcome when we arrived, which is always nice especially since I think we were the only people there as the weather was so bad, (which incidentally was the reason for the 4* on course conditions). We were very lucky as it literally stopped raining as we reached the first tee. Suffice to say it was very boggy underfoot, nevertheless we had a good round and we both really enjoyed the course, well worth a visit and hopefully I’ll get back to playing more regularly…

Rain held off on the day and the course was well maintained with grass being cut regularly and great condition greens. Booking process was great via Golf now and course were happy to change our play date without a charge when we made an error, which is more than other courses have done. Had to play off temporary tees however to protect the main tees, which was not ideal, but understandable and otherwise a great value day out - its a shame its not nearer to bristol for us.

Considering time of year the course was very playable but long grass off fairways made hard work for senior golfers (my wife and I).

A tight course with some crossovers where care is needed. Virtually all tees were on mats which shortened the course.

However being able to get out and play at such good value was a bonus.

The course has improved a lot since last played 2 years ago. Fairways in good condition. The course is very compact with lots of fairways right next to each other, this causes a lot of crossing in front of the tees. Pace of play was slow today due to lots of societies. If you can get the course for a cheap price then I’d recommend but i would not pay full price.

Really need to address some of the greens but for £15 well worth it

Played first time here. Friendly staff. Groundskeepers friendly and patient.

Tee off was 13.39pm and I was looking forward to returning to this course after thirty nine years! the layout seemed different from what i can remember, the fairways were ok and not a problem playing off these, however the Greens were terrible, grass on most to long and patchy with a uneven surface in places, made putting rather a lottery....I know the owners need to try and keep the course open to bring in much needed revenue, but I wonder if the poor comments will ultimately do more damage than perhaps keeping it closed for a little while longer to give the ground a chance to dry out and for the Greens to be prepared correctly for the Summer season ahead.

Yes the weather has been poor this winter, but still off mats all 18 holes, one hole closed , 4 temporary greens. All greens very poor. Course not particularly wet either. Have enjoyed playing here previously, will leave it a while before I return. Society out the same day, they said they won't be back.

Course over all is a very good course. 17holes were open and some holes had temporary greens and temporary tees. The fairways were all in very good condition and when everything is open this looks a fantastic course. With all the rain we have had it's to be expected and nice to see a course protecting greens rather than keeping them open, only to cause more damage. Staff in the shop and club house were very friendly. Over all a great experience. Thanks.
