Heythrop Park Resort

Firstly, the receptionist attitude to me because I booked online, was poor.

Telling me, I should have to phone before coming, was not only odd but something I’ve never experienced before. She clearly messed up with the booking schedule which was confirmed we she ask me if I could play 10mins later!

First few holes are up and down but got interesting thereafter, especially with the distance between the holes.

Course looked neglected and in a lot of areas not treated, even though some of the greens were good.

Four and half hours walking round, which wasn’t helped by a family group adding to the slow play.

Poor signage all round didn’t help

This is a tough walk, so recommend a buggy for those whose fitness isn’t great.

I believe this course would be a long day with those with a high handicap, it clearly tests your skills on this hard terrain.

Sorry didn’t enjoy the day and found the cost high, they are clearly playing on the setting rather than the course conditions.

This was the first time playing the course. Very impressed. Driving range facility very close to clubhouse and first tee. Mature, and well maintained course. Great variety on the greens, with plenty to keep the amateur putter guessing. Some beautiful par 3’s, challenging par 5’s and mix of par 4’s ranging from “might be able to drive the green here”, to, “wow, shouldn’t this be stroke index 1?” Day bookended by amazing cooked breakfast and well earned beer on the terrace in the late afternoon sun. Perfect. Will be back!

Course in very poor condition, little to no maintenance. Would not recommend

Course is absolutely stunning and so much potential, but needs some improvements to bring it to a top course level which I think will happen now under the new management. Difficult course to walk as distances between green and next t box is sometimes a long way and also some areas very steep. Would always take a buggy which at £30 is quite expensive.

Course was in unbelievable condition considering the weather it's had recently, greens were quick and true and the fairways were pretty much dry .

The guy in the pro shop was very helpful and all the greens staff were friendly.

If I were to play the course in the summer a trolley or buggy would be a game changer as the walk from green to tee on some holes, although beautiful through woodland areas , is quite a trek .

100% will be back

The best condition of any course I have played at this time of year. The greens are fantastic.

Great course, mixture of different holes which makes you think about how you play and in great condition for November.

The only thing that let it down was 2 young kids playing music whilst looking for balls of think they picked up one of ours and walked off.

We weren’t told about course maintenance that happened during the week. Greens were air rated and full of sand. Plus price dropped to 50% of what we paid because of course maintenance

Championship standard course, lush fairways, top notch greens, course layout and design excellent

Must return to play again now I know the layout.

The 18th par 5 is a stunner - straight shooting towards the 18th C House…fantastic

Best if you take a buggy but experienced golfers will enjoy this course even if carrying !

Interesting layout, could be maintained a bit better.
