The south bucks/Farnham park
Very slow so played front nine twice.members should remember the rule of letting faster groups through.
A very good value course
Condition of the couse was very good and we will be returning.
The only problem we experienced was the speed of play which was very slow.
Good variety of holes and the condition of the greens was excellent.
Good facilities and excellent parking
Slow Slow Slow
I didn't really want to write a bad review about this course as I think the facility and course itself are in excellent condition.
However, given this is a fairly short course I would expect a 2 ball to go around the course in under 4 hours. I played as a 2 ball and after 9 holes had taken 2 and a half hours and with a queue of 8 people waiting to tee off on the tenth, gave up.
I was told there was a large society that was playing and was the cause of slow play. The staff acknowledged the speed and gave us a voucher to come and play again for free the next time. They did this without hesitation.
This does highlight one of the problems with teeofftime though as you have no idea when booking how busy a course will be.
Course layout not "walking friendly"
The staff that checked us in was very very nice and friendly. The course layout as I mentioned is not really "walking" friendly". Some holes were marked and some were not so we were lost most of the time. At times, like for example, hole 16 was so far away from 15, we had to do a few roundabouts....until we found it. Since it was our first time at this course, it was really tough. At the beginning, we requested for a buggy "golf cart" and apparently, they only had a 3 or 4. Other than these two, the greens are in great shape. I sure hope the course will get more carts and install signs where to go.
