anyone played Frilford Heath Red Course

Been a couple of years since I played it but it's one of the best courses in the area.

Not horribly long but should be running fast in the current weather conditions and the greens will be quick but not silly.

As I recall it's one of those courses that's worth sacrificing distance off the tee for being on the fairway because the rough is fairly chunky and difficult to control a ball out of.

Enjoy.
 
Yes - it's very much and underrated Course , the greens are great , some long holes and very good par 3's. I enjoy playing there and try to do 36 there every year. It's a good course
 
Great courses, greens are as fast as you like, huge yellow gorse lined fairways on 1 course and wispy grass on the other.

Played it a few times and was the venue for my infamous 2 off the tee tee shot :eek:

Club down off the tee if you're too wild, you'll find bugger all in the gorse.

Very friendly clubhouse also and good food.

Very underrated course/s IMO, would be a great meet venue.

First time I met and played with Mashiniblick, nice memories.
 
Played it a few weeks ago with our work Society. Lovely course, very fast greens, so with the current heatwave should be equally fast if not quicker.

As mentioned, think about your tee shots and club selection. Tight in places but really enjoyable. Was in very good condition - we played the Green in the afternoon, nice, but definitely nowhere near as good as the Red.
 
Fragger, is your society called the Domino GS then? I'm there playing the Red as well on Wednesday, out a bit earlier as part of the Audi day.

Group of us from my club played the Red and Green courses at the end of March on Frilford's winter deal (amazing value, bacon roll, lunch & 36 holes for £57, candidate for a meet next year). My memories of the Red are that the greens appeared to be a couple of months ahead of Goring and Streatley, which prides itself on fast greens. I'm expecting them to be a bit nippy after the last week of sunshine. And there seemed to be a lot of holes that had a fairway bunker especially crafted for each player, no matter how long or short our drives.

Great course though, think you'll enjoy it. Easily the best around our way, it's only a 10 minute drive for me and I would be a member if it wasn't so damned expensive.
 
And the 12th is a beast. 474 yard par 4, if you don't get your drive away then forget about scoring on that hole. :)

(Speaking from experience there :()

Yes that's us, Domino Golf Society, off about 1pm. Cost for us is £70 inc food which I think is pretty good as the visitor rate after 1 pm weekdays is £70, so free food basically.

Really looking forward to this one, but it's going to be a tad warm :)

I played it a few years ago in the regional finals of what was the Volvo match play tournament, it was a lovely course with tight fast running fairways and a good variety of holes, sadly on that that day it was let down badly by the greens which were slow and bumpy. However I am certain we were just unlucky as everyone else says how good they are. Enjoy and don't let your brother psyche you out.
