Naunton Downs Golf Club

Really enjoyable layout, with some standout holes.

Tees and greens in desperate need of TLC though!!

Disappointed also to find that it's only 13 holes, you repeat 1-5 to get the full 18.

Would return for another visit as long as the price remains this low though.

The fairways were very dry and the green were in poor condition patchy and uneven

When I booked the information on the course indicated 9 or 18 holes when booked in we were informed it was a thirteen hole course whe I inquired if we could play the first five holes to make up the 18 the answer was no

That is a bit misleading and overall that is the main complaint

Hope you will make it clearer so when booking it clearly states this is 13 hole course

Thank you

At £20 each for a midweek 2 ball there should be nothing to grumble about! The car park approach and the club house is handsome in Cotswold stone and includes a nice outdoor seating area. The price is probably reflective in the 13 greens with repeat play of the 1st to 5th to complete 18 holes. So a course perhaps not that appealing for memberships but certainly worth the drive to this secluded rural location. Some of the greens were a little patchy creating a less than true roll but are nicely contoured for interest with good placement of bunkers. The fairways seem to show signs of a less than intensive maintenance regime for the time of year (June) with areas left long probably purposefully to help reduce maintenance costs and increase biodiversity!?

This parkland course itself has intrigue with a couple of par 3’s across sloping ground ..no water to negotiate and pin placements are sensible for most mid handicappers to cope with. All round average to good quality & good value for money.

Great holes. Excellent greens. Well kept alround. Just a crying shame the owner converted the last 4 holes into horse racing

This was a fantastic course, but it has been let go. No bar anymore, and greens that were like a memory foam mattress.

I’ve been playing here since Feb 25 and the course is always in good condition no matter the weather.

Slightly awkward having to play the first 5 holes again to complete.m a full round..

Once again we booked a 4 ball for a Sunday lunch time and once again we turned up and ‘no buggy’s available’. I called up last Thursday to double double make sure we would have buggy’s as the last 2 times I’ve turned up after booking buggy’s they have said they are all gone. Considering this week was also 28 degrees we had all turned up with no trolleys because I’d 100% made sure we would have buggy’s. I was told on arrival that they ‘weren’t in the system’ and I was told they were all gone. Even though there was 4 buggy’s around the back sat doing nothing and we later saw a 4 ball with buggy’s. There was also a 6 ball out on the course with 3 buggy’s between them. We weren’t even offered a cheap push trolley in place of the buggy either. Very disappointing as it’s a good value for money course but this is the 3rd time we have been let down now and last time I was with someone who could barely even walk. Much better policy needs to be in place to avoid disappointment for people who may have travelled far who are hard of walking.

I am a big fan of this club, the course is great. Interesting holes a good mix of par 3s, 4s and 5s. The greens are in good locations, the tee boxes are good and the countryside is stunning. The pro shop is small and limited but very friendly. The bar is absolutely great, brilliant outside space and really good beer on draft. The only down side to the club is the fact that to play 18 holes you have to play 13 holes and then the front 5 again. This does not bother me, in fact I quite like it but the problem is waiting to get back on the "14th" as you come back round to the first hole. On Sunday I arrived at the 1st/14th and there were 4 groups in front of me, one tee'ing off and 3 waiting. I waited 10mins and there was two groups still in front of me so I had called it a day early. If they can sort that this club is a real gem but that is a real problem. Perhaps limited tee times would resolve the issue but appreciate the club would unlikely be happy with reducing their offerings. Hopefully one day it will be back to a full 18 as I am a massive fan of the club

Haven't played here for a few years and thoroughly enjoyed it after the change in the layout. Was always well kept and greens and tee boxes excellent. Fairways dry and barren like everywhere I have played recently. Value for money was exceptional and £25 for a buggy very fair. Would highly recommend.

Great day out, course very dry, as expected. Challenging and need good course management. Ball running very well. Millionaires golf!!

Will play again.

Haven’t played here before this weekend but was referred to by a friend.

Course was well kept with the fairways and tee boxes in good condition, greens were superb and really well maintained.

A couple of practice area which were well kept and good to warm up.

My biggest disappointment is the Course only a 13 hole and you replay 1-5 making it 18. Really disappointing not to have 18 holes.

Great course.. but... Only 13 holes. Little annoying to discover when you book 18 holes via golf now. Not the courses issue.

The course is in good condition, the fairways were very very dry but this period of very dry hot weather you would expect these conditions, so good and bad shots you pretty much run off every fairway. The bunkers were in great condition and the green fantastic. Great testament to the Green Keepers. The course layout and design for the first 13 holes was really good, THEN it all goes DOWN Hill. If you want to play 18 holes you have to replay the first 5 holes. This is a little annoying, looks like they have sold off the land to make ends meet. I guess that’s so much the issue, but when you get players coming to the end of hole 13 and players starting their round, you get a bottleneck and the round grinds to a halt. Which is such a shame. They need a system to aid this transition. It’s such a shame as this would have been a cracking course back when it was 18 holes. Anyway after the pace of play dropped considerably, I thought I’d get a refreshing pint, it was 6.20pm and the club hut and bar were closed. I guess that added to the overall disappointment

If I’m honest, the greens were some of the best greens I’ve played this year!

It was ridiculously hot so fairways were very solid which is to be expected this time of year, it was my first time playing this course and the signage was very limited between holes.

All of the par 3’s are very individual and a great challenge.

No driving range but practice nets and practice putting green with the bunker to accompany everything you need to knock the rust off before you begin in your round!

I believe the land is owned by a professional horse trainer and the only downfall was that I did not actually see any race horses!

All in all an enjoyable afternoon I think £3 for Lucozade is a little bit steep though!
