I have played both the long and par 3 course, so thought I would comment on the par 3 course as no one has done this to date.

Im mu opinion this is a great course, there are lots of challenges even though most holes are between 100 - 130 yards. There are a couple of longer holes (170, and 200), but most are around the 100-120 yard mark. This makes for an ideal practise for your short game, which I need.

All in all the fairways and greens are in very good condition and for £10 for 18 holes it is very good value for money. Would highly rate this course.

Really enjoyable round at Thornbury; it's a most forgiving course, with huge open fairways so plenty of room for error for the high-handicapper. Greens and fairways in top condition, and while not packed with hazards or water features, there are enough bunkers about to keep you on your toes.

Friendly staff, well run club and an absolute bargain to play the twilight offer of £12/round after 2pm. Superb value, highly recommended.

The long course at Thornbury is relatively flat with wide open fairways, geneous greens and the odd spot of water here and there on the back nine. A great user friendly course for golf societies and an excellent confidence booster for the experienced player trying to remember how to par holes.

well the £600 fee quoted is for a 1 off payment but most of us pay £171 fee plus discounted green fees and the more you play the cheaper it gets until your on free golf .

The greenkeeping staff have made the course a lot better under steve ewing command but rome was not built in a day and this year the greens have not grown well and are slow for the time of year .

The daily tees make thornbury a nice course to play but off the whites its a lot harder as the club championship is only 4 weeks away the rough is a bit thicker than normal .

For a pay and play course, I found it to be in good order. Some of the bunkers need attention, but the course, in the main is in good condition.

The greens are much better than their appearance!

The only downside for me was the relatively high cost of the green fee for a public course.

I looked at the members information and was astounded to see annual green fees in excess of £600. For this money I would expect to be playing at a private members club, with its associated benefits.

Played the "long" course twice in the winter months and on both occasions the course

should have been closed due to the conditions. The "long" course is rather boring

which is in contrast to the "short" par-3 course which is fun and excellent value for

money. The downhill 13th on the short course would do justice to any long course.
