Great test of golf

Hinksey is a real gem of a course in an amazing location. The views of the dreaming spires of Oxford are spectacular from this hilltop location. The course is very well laid out-every hole is interesting, no two holes the same and no “fill-in” holes making up the numbers.

The greens are in great nick at the moment too! Go there and play it, you will not be disappointed.

Great view well worth a visit.

Given very wet conditions in March & April the course was generally in good condition albeit with a few boggy patches. Greens very well maintained and staff very friendly. Overall a good experience and good value.

Enjoyable Course

Played at Hinksey for the first time today.

Very much enjoyed the testing course and even with the wet weather the course still played well and maintained.

Biggest downside was the pace of play as we had a 3 ball in front of us that were not aware at all of the extremely slow play.

Hinksey Heights

Course was in excellent condition, given the partial frozen ground from the recent weather. It was a bit like playing on a lynx course, very enjoyable, greens were good.

Overall a challenging but nice course to play, with lovely views over the city of Oxford.

Accommodated

The golf course was in good condition and the pace of play was perfect.

You can always get on this golf course which is a blessing, to non members of a club.

And the staff cooked the perfect bacon roll.
