The West Berkshire Golf Club

We were greeted by friendly staff who prepared two buggies for us and welcomed us to the course. We had used the putting green and were called to the tee early. The course was not busy, the pace of play was down to us so we were not being held up or holding up any others. The course was in good condition and the weather was sunny for the most part. We had a great afternoon.

Excellent course.

A bit long off white tee.

Quiet course.

I played in a 2 x ball, with both of us experienced golfers, although not the lowest of handicaps (18 & 21). I chose the course as it was a happy medium between the two of us, and having read the reviews thought it would be what I was looking for.

What the reviews perhaps didnt say (or maybe I didnt take enough notice), was that every fairway was tree lined, some more narrower than others !. As it was a dry, sunny and windy day, controlling the ball could have been easier, as I cannot tell you how many times i had to play sideways, as my driver would take a bounce into the tree line, not giving me a forward shot. The fairways were perfect, with the greens being ok. - Note, the greens look as though they are breaking when in fact most play straight. The formidable 613 yrd par 5, I got onto the green in 3, but took a further 3 putts to finish - maybe I just cant putt. - overall, if you are in the area, have the patience of a saint, this course is for you.

very enjoyable place to play golf,

very friendly and helpful staff, good food and facilities .

course was wet and boggy in places but didnt prevent us from having a nice enjoyable round of golf ,despite the weather,

some of the holes can be very challenging as pretty much need to be straight of the tees or you will find trouble

First time for me playing west Berks, freinds had played a few times.

Course was in very good condition considering time of year. Some very testing holes mixed with some holes giving good birdie chances.

Greens were in excellent conditions

Will go back again in the summer to play off the proper teeing areas. Friends have played in the summer and say course is fantastic condition.

Price through Golf now was very good. Staff in pro shop were very friendly.

One issue i have at courses is the shoe/trolley cleaning areas. West Berks has 2 very powerful air machines. Excellent!

Overall 4* for this time of year.

6700 yards off the white tees is a great test of golf.

Course long an in good condition, tee boxes let it down, but you can see there doing their best to get them up to scratch. Slow round, but enjoyable views took your mind off of this . Definitely play again .

We played off the white tees. Brute of a course with the winds and wet conditions. No mats and all greens open. Some great holes here. Lots of long par 5s.par 3s are excellent. 3 hrs 20 mins for 18 holes was lovely. Great views across the downs from the top of the course.

Course was in great condition despite the constant rain

Very tricky to read the greens this round. Course in good condition and was not busy. Cannot go wrong for £20 each.
