Vandalism has taken it's toll on the whole course...
I've played South Buckinghamshire many times over the years, but I'm afraid to say that this is the worst I've ever seen it/experienced it... Due to vandalism of the 16th and 17th greens, the grounds staff have been focussing entirely on replacing/replanting the new greens and it does seem (sadly) that the rest of the course has been allowed to go to wreck and ruin to a large degree. Greens are in terrible shape generally and the whole course just needs a bit of TLC to bring it back to it's former glory. I feel like the £34 we were charged is too much for the current state of affairs and the club should look to put in a discount due to the state that it's currently in
Mud bath
Played the course last weekend and it was a total mud bath. Fairways were full of lumps of mud. Worm casts have been brushed clear and the fairways were as long as the rough. Greens were borderline playable with approach shots plugging puts bouncing around and again big clumps of mud. Winter tee mats haven’t been cleaned and were slippy making tee shots impossible. Other golfers had Walked off after 9 holes and the pro shop even said they shouldn’t be open but the council just want to take peoples money
Awful course
Totally unplayable, fairways full of worm casts a complete mud bath greens are in a terrible condition walked off after six holes so did many others
A bit muddy
Played a pairs match here in December. Played the back 9 first which was ok for the time of year, but the other 9 was quite boggy. Probably should not have opened it. Have played the course in the summer and good for a social round with an interesting set of holes. Will play it again.
Top course neglected
From what was one of the best pay and play courses in England the course has slowly deteriorated over the last 5 years to such a sad state Probably the only medal you can award to this course now is muddiest course in England . The council should hold its head in shame to running a top club previously named Farnham Park GC , rebranding as the south Buckinghamshire and then running it into the ground . Recommend a visit in the short summer period , outside of this, avoid .
Too muddy,
Greens staff are trying hard but it is very muddy, this is effecting the greens too ,bi would wait till May before returning
Awful condition
Whole course is being played of mats the course condition is one of the worst I’ve seen at this time of year
Muddy
The course was close to unplayable due to persistent rain. The layout is good, but semi-flooded greens and vast quantities of mud gathering on trolley wheels rather spoiled the day. A 14.04 tee time left us with no chance of completing the course due to the very slow pace of play.
Soggy Conditions but…
Very soggy and wet weather however course held up really well. One green with puddle on despite 48 hours of rain.
Rest was in good nick including bunkers and fairways.
Robs day out
Great value for money and the golf course in excellent condition, well done to the green keepers.
South buckinghamshire
Having played south Buckinghamshire quite a few times i can recommend this course as a enjoyable course to play the greens are always in good condition and i enjoy the course layout
Lovely Open Course
Lovely, well presented, open course. Really enjoyed, and will definitely be back!
Nice flat course
Greens in great condition
Value for money
Excellent value
At £22 for 18 holes on a big and very well maintained course I cannot fault this course. Greens in lovely condition at the mo as well.
Great course
In great condition. Bunkers full of clean good quality sand, fairways well kept and the tee boxes looked great. Staff were friendly and welcoming.
