Ok course

We played in some of the worst conditions I have played in for a while and the corse held up well.

Greens were good and pace of play good. First 7-8 holes were good but there are some really boring holes. The distance between some holes is huge and not always clear where the next tee is. Paths aren’t great either

It’s a Cotswolds with some sharp contrasts as the greens and tee boxes were good but a few too many boring holes for me. The 18th was so dull. Feels like playing down a landing strip

Potential

Could be a great course but pro shop has nothing in it, bar wasn’t serving by tap, greens were in good condition though.

Avoid Saturdays

Booked in via GolfNow 9 days in advance only to find out on arrival that the course had double booked. Telling us we could tee off at 2:30 for a 4ball. Not impressed, no fault to the staff on duty but the course was over booked, especially in these uncertain Covid times..very busy resulting in a 5 hour 30min round...that said a great course but won’t ever book on a Saturday again as it seems that getting as many players on the course as possible is paramount

Hilly with poor greens

The course is impressive but the course was too hilly for my party. Some of the greens were 50% sand! And the walks between tees were too long and testing. Not good for an 18 handicapper in mid fifties!

Poor organisation on tee times

we booked a tee time for tday and in the morning was told there is a green maintenance going on as well as a society golfers have priority over the tee time. what a normal 3+ hours for a two ball ended up over 5 + hours and have to walk off with out finishing the round. would like to speak to some one on golf now to see weather i can get a partial refund.

Really enjoyable

Enjoyed playing this course immensely. Greens and tees looked really used and bare but played perfectly. Distance between holes was sometimes disconcerting but thinking back at the end of the round actually added to the experience, but you will need a buggy. Playing a round without a buggy would be exhausting! Would definitely play again.

Brother in law trip

After looking up the course and being recommended , I couldn’t wait to play. It didn’t disappoint and was better than the videos I watched. On the other hand it is looking a bit tied and needs a bit of TLC , SOME OF THE WALKS BETWEEN HOLE ARE A KILLER but all you need to do is book a buggy. This course will test all your golf shots and fitness. I will go back one day, had a fantastic time but no one goes out on the course to speed people up so just take your time and enjoy the view.

The staff and hotel was fantastic in this pandemic, so felt safe and had a great trip.

Thanks R Smith

Great course that could be in better condition

Love the layout, the tee boxes looked over used and the greens looked rough but rolled ok. Round took 5 hours as we were stuck behind four groups of four. It is a long walk but even still that round time is excessive to me

Snails pace golf

We liked the layout and the greens were pretty good' tee's were in a bad state.

Biggest problem was playing 18 first holes' just ridiculously slow....5 hours for a 3 ball.

Once you've paid and you're on the course it seems they don't care if you enjoy your visit' and i'm not just talking about this course' all it takes is a marshal to sort out the ( lets be kind) none serious golfers or amblers.

Definitely a Challenge, but not always in the best way

There are some very beautiful holes on this course, and the views from the peaks are phenomenal.

There are some very challenging holes spaced with some less challenging but long playing ones to keep the pace moving well.

However, the tee boxes and greens for most of the holes were not kept in a condition I would expect for a tour course (having played two other tour courses that same weekend) and the general layout and walks between the holes were the biggest challenge.

Pleasant surprise

Heard alot off bad things about heythrope park. But I often find a golfers review is usually based on how well they played. First thing is the price. £30 is a bargain. Only bad thing I could say is the tees were not in a good state. But too be honest that's it. Course is testing and as a 3 handicapper I enjoyed the challenge. Greens well designed with lots off slopes.First 4 holes ease you in and from then on the course gets better. Great design. Yes there are some long walks between holes. But golf is a long walk in itself. Look forward to going back and trying it off the back tees.

Great Course

Great layout. Very interesting track! Could do with a bit of tidying up in certain areas, but understandable during covid times. Make sure you're fit if walking!

Hidden Gem

Stunning scenery and very well laid out course. that both fair and challenging. Considering the lack of rain recently, it was in surprisingly good condition. My only negative feedback is the lack yardage markers. They do have coloured discs in the fairway, but these are not always easy to see. Coloured stakes at edge of the fairway would be much better. Trust me, you need to play this course...

Well worth a visit

Friendly staff who were very welcoming. Greens fabulous and the course excellent considering the current climate.

Fabulous layout as each hole is interesting and different from the previous one - one suggestion though... hire a buggy as it is a long way round and is a bit off the beaten track at times - however this is very picturesque and adds to its beauty.

Beautiful layout.

This course was in excellent condition. A good layout with a good mix of shorter and longer holes, there is some water and elevation change too. This was a good challenge.

Tees were slightly short of grass but everything else was great.

Brilliant and a great place to play

I had a fantastic, blustery and slightly damp round but found all players to be welcoming and the course was brilliant. Some tees were a little bald and pace was slow as I was a single player in amongst a few four balls. However, I didn’t mind this as was just happy to be out. Deffo give it a try.
