Heythrop Park Resort

Great course in excellent condition, fairways and greens. Very scenic, excellent value for money.

A stunning location in the Oxfordshire countryside with rolling hills and mature tree lined fairways. Let down massively from the moment you arrive with next to zero facilities, no food and beverage to talk of, no practice putting green and a fairly benign driving range.

We were warned of some 'irrigation issues' upon checking in, but nothing prepared us for what we found. A fairly baron dry course, with poorly defined fairways and many greens with large burnt or dead patches. The recent weather and amount of rain doesnt compute as to why there is so much poorly conditioned areas. Greens were like concrete in places and the best of shots never were rewarded and didn't hold the surface.

Fairways had not been cut recently and lacked definition, rough around the edges. Bunkers had no sand, you got a better lie in the car park and had more chance of a predictable contact with the ball.

Its a shame, as this could be an iconic venue. With the beautiful architecture and amazing countryside transporting you away from the rest of the world....some TLC, and a good mow and cut, sand in the bunkers...and a consistent watering (there are plenty of lakes BTW!).

Course was in great condition compared to other courses this time of year. Greens were pure and definitly fastest I have ever played on. Fairways also faultless. Off the course not great as putting green is being reconstructed. Nowhere for a beer after which was annnoying but there was a pub down the drive.

Overall greenkeepers are doing a great job on the course, can’t say much for the other facilities

Having read a few negative reviews I was a bit 50:50 about booking a tee time at Heythrop but having visited the venue I can attest to it being in immaculate condition despite recent heavy rain. Fairways were excellent, greens were fast and firm and the pace of play was good considering the fairly long walks between some holes. Recommendations to improve the course: put more fresh sand in the bunkers, invest more money in practice facilities and improve the golf shop/social facilities post game.

Golf course and speed of play was excellent and really enjoyed the round of golf.

Overall experience ruined by lack of food options before 1130 and extreamely over priced basic food. For lunch.

I appreciate that costs have increase however a small roll with a single slice of ham, a slice of tomato, a messy dollop of pickle and a handful of chips for £9 is extortionate. Think they care more about making easy money and not providing value.

Golf course was in a very good condition considering the amount of rain the couple previous days. Pro shop staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel initially said that we couldn’t come in for food as we didn’t have a room booked and they charge everything to a room number. Eventually found a staff member that said of course we can do lunch and we can pay by card. Great course but needs a few more finishing touches to the facilities.

Great course. Long walk between holes. Not much else

We played this course after one of the wettest Marches on record and we were impressed with the quality of the course both the fairways and the greens were in good condition. The bunkers had suffered due to the heavy rain over recent weeks but will improve as they dry out. A great course layout and some really good looking holes, many that presented a good challenge but were very fair. I would definitely play there again next time I’m in the area.

This course has a selection of holes that you would find individually on many of Britain's better known courses and as we played remembered the likes of Woburn, Stoke Park and other interesting parkland courses.

Warner Leisure Hotels need to reinstate changing areas and a place for refreshments if visitors are to enjoy their visit and feel they have received value for money.

Only our second visit since before lockdown' harder walk than we remembered but loved the course...first group we caught let us through and never saw anyone in front after that :)

Only thing we could fault was that the tee's were sometimes way forward.

Considering the time of year the course was in very good condition. The hotel is having a complete refit which is taking 9 months so all that is open is the golf. Fabulous holes to play and some of the views are spectacular.

Firstly there is a lot of building work going on around the place, there was only a few parking places and these were full o had to park miles away in he workmen's car park. There were no catering unless you wanted to use the building site takeaway van. Then onto the course...... the first 5 holes were in great condition, greens were very quick. Then the next 8 holes were terrible,greens had been sanded and just left, was like putting across a bunker apart from the one bunker I ent in had no sand in it. The fairways were very heavy and just stopped the club head virtually dead making it play very very long. The are several holes where the walk from green to next tee are several hundred yards and the course lay feels like its just been shoehorned in around the estate and tried to make too many signature holes and to me just didn't work. Walked off after 13 just too frustrated with the poor condition

Considering the amount if rain prior to our round the greens were phenomenal! Couple of the fairways were extremely wet and almost unplayable however the sheer enjoyment of the course layout, walk through some spectacular scenery and surprisingly challenging course. All made for an awesome round of golf! Definitely heading back in the summer!
