I have played this course many times and have to say it is one of the easier courses in the area. Most of the fairways are pretty wide and the rough is very light. The greens are quite slow but fairly true. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming.

Using 2 for 1 vouchers with a mid week green fee of only £19 (or £9.50 each) was just about the best value golf around.

I played it yesterday and the improvement in 12 months, since I last played there, is incredible. It seemed to lack funding and care a year ago. Now the pro shop has good and varied stock and the course is in superb condition, with little touches that make the round a better game. There is an area on the back nine where several holes intersect a small river, the view as you look there now is a pleasure, if daunting to all shorter hitters:) I really would recomend this course to any level of player. The front 9 are flatter and the gentle breeze made it interesting. On the back nine the wind had picked up and made it a real challenge. (Echoing the comment earlier about club selection changing dramatically. ) I'm a mid-high handicapper who has played a lot of the local courses and this is amongst the best, and better for the last years work by management and staff.

I did not stop to enjoy the hospitality but the club house is pretty and looks comfortable.)

course is in excellent condition for time of year , and you couldn't get a friendlier pro shop , they can't do enough for you

excellent passport scheme where you play 3 rounds and you then get the 4th free ( why don't all clubs do this more people would return then !!!)

one problem is that some of the members need to brush up on their golf etiquet as we played behind a 3 ball of lady members today, we were a 2 ball , and got held up on 6 holes in the first 9 due to the fact that they wouldn't let us play through ,ended up only doing 9 holes for this reason

and the main page says £12 for midweek play and we got charged £19 so a little bit of difference there !!!

apart from this well worth a visit

This really is a little hidden gem.

I played the course yesterday and was extremely impressed with everything about the place. Firstly, what a pleasant change to be welcomed as a visitor, and made to feel at home straight away. Cost was £30, but was able to use a 2-4-1 voucher so £15 per head.

The course itself was in superb condition, with wide open fairways in great shape. The greens, whilst perhaps slightly slow, were in immaculate condition too - the best I've played on for a long while.

The course is probably better suited to the mid to high handicapper, but I would recommend anybody to get down to Aylesbury Vale and give it a go.

One point to note, is that they do not take advanced bookings, it simply is a case of turn up, pay and play. It is worth calling in advance and they will notify you of any competitions etc.

I have just played this course for the second time after a gap of ten years and what a differance. The staff and members were friendly and the pace of play fast for a Sunday afternoon. I enjoyed the layout and especially the back nine holes a mixture of open and short tight holes. All the par fives are there to be attacked in two depending on the wind but more respect must be shown for the tighter holes and long par fours. The greens putted well my only complaint was they were crowned around the holes after a lot of use. This course is well worth the green fee even though I am a member of another club and it will not be ten years till I visit it again.
