After hearing of this course I was expecting something special. I found the layout of the course very hilly but enjoyable. staff were friendly. Greens were completely brown with lots of sand on. Tee'd off at 3pm and was done by 6.15 pm. Disappointed to find the club house was shut so unable to have a drink afterwards.

I am sorry to hear you had a poor experience at Heythrop Park Golf Resort. We pride ourselves on not only a great layout but delivering a high-end golf course in top condition 12 months of the year. Unfortunately we suffered badly over the past 12 months due to a mixture of things some in our control and some unforeseen, from irrigation system falling over at the start of the season, to the sprayer for the greens breaking down at keys times and finally poor management. However we have managed to address all three things and I'm delighted to say the course has never looked better. We would like to invite you back for a game on us to see the improvements we've made and meet the new team. Please contact me direct at the club - Jamie Cook, Golf Manager

Good Course

For the green fee I should not complain ....but I can make some comments I feel. Course condition was OK it has been a very dry April & the greens had been hollow tined but I feel the sprinklers should be in use as the greens are very hard & will not heal quickly with no water

Great holes , poor condition

The course has many interesting holes. There is often quite a lot of distance between the greens and the next tee, so I used a buggy, which adds to the cost.

On previous visits I felt the green fee and the buggy cost was justified by the golfing experience, but not this time.

On this occasion, I was disappointed with the condition of the greens and the fairways. A number of fairways had damage, I presume from rabbits, and whilst some damage was being dealt with, in other places no action had been taken. There were no notices in the club house about the problem, and the resort did not give any response to my email raising these concerns.

I also raised with the resort the placing of the flags on the greens, which are supposed to be in accordance with a system ( A,B,C,D ), but seemed to be entirely random. Again no response was received.
