The West Berkshire Golf Club

Really enjoyed our round on a windy Friday afternoon. The course is challenging but fair. Lots of trees that require accuracy but also quite long that requires taking risk with the driver too. Greens were very true although a couple had a little damage. The wind made it even more challenging. We will definitely be back to try again

We paid £23 each as a two ball on a windy Friday, which is a bargain for a course of this quality. The course was in good condition, considering the recent weather, the greens being a particular highlight, running very smooth and true. My only complaint about the course is that the holes are quite ‘samey’, not much variety, mainly straight up and down but all in all we enjoyed the round and would probably play again. We were disappointed with the welcome we didn’t get in the pro shop. I explained that we hadn’t been to the course before but all we got was a finger pointing to the first tee and instructions to follow the group in front. Well derrr! No welcome to the club, no saying where the warm up area was, nothing, nada, zilch. Luckily the barman was friendlier after our round or we may not have bothered.

2nd time at this course and a really good challenge for all levels especially in a strong westerly wind. Lots of shot shaping required, nice fade on the 18th tee! Course in a good condition, some greens struggling a bit but overall good. All trees swallow the wayward drives and don't rebound onto the fairways like some places.

First things first £14 for 18 holes of golf is an absolute bargain - so no complaints there at all. I'll definitely be returning for that alone coupled with its proximity to Newbury. As for the course itself it's a mixed bag. With recent rain I'd expected greens to be slow - but you absolutely need to hammer your putts. And the numerous bare patches (now caked mud) on various greens make it a lottery - caused by disease I'm guessing? Tee boxes a touch tired and the bunkers littered with stones (some of the worst I've seen) - also more like building sand rather than something you'd like your sand wedge to meet.Fairways in OK nick and rough is very mild (after a recent trip to the links of Northumberland that was a relief!). Consistent distant markers appreciated - as is use of different coloured flags to indicate pin position. Pace of pace good considering 4 balls ahead - other clubs take note! Much longer front 9 than back 9 and just a moderate challenge from the yellow tees. Overall an ideal location for a good value practice round with easy walking - just a bit uninspiring (couldn't name you a stand-out hole).

Excellent condition. Some great surrounding vistas, so a pleasure to play. A long and narrow course, but you can play out if in the trees. Will be back

This is a friendly club , with good facilities. The the tree lined fairways are well kept and offer a good mixture of short par 3’s and more challenging long par 5’s at a competitive price. The course signage could be improved to assist navigation between holes for new visitors. Will visit again.

Played here as was equidistant between me and a mate. Was £14 a head for 18 holes. The course is quite challenging, very long off the tips, and with very tight fairways in parts. Some holes were beautifully maintained, some were a bit of a mess, especially the greens and bunkers (we self-designated these as GUR as they were like playing out of a pebble beach). It's not a particularly inventive layout. The 12th is an amazing short Par 4, with outstanding views. It wasn't busy so me and my mate played it again! All in all, not too bad, but you get what you pay for.

This course is in a very bad condition. Bunkers are unplayable. Most greens have very bad disease and the fairways are very poor

A lovely course amid difficult moments in life. Three of us played and were all able to forget the current problems in the world and enjoy a nice round of golf. The course was differing but well kempt. Long and short holes it was well set out with picturesque views of West Berkshire that lifted the heart and cheered us all up. Thanks guys - keep going you're doing a grand job.

This course is one of the best in the area and such great value for money. Played a number of times and the course has been in fantastic condition every single time.

Well worth a visit.

I played off of 18 some challenging holes and a nice pace on the greens too scored 39 points. And managed to take some money off my mate too

Happy days
