Lovey course. Whenever I've played it it's been in really good condition, it's very easy on the eye and is set in a nice area, with some spectacular houses on the drive in and lining a couple of the holes.

As for advice, nothing particular that you wouldn't get for most courses (it's easier from he fairway than the trees ) On15 (I think) you definitely don't want to be too far right in the fairway. The green slopes massively from right to left and you'll struggle to keep it on the green even from close in.

Practice your bunker play. No water on this course at all but plenty of sand instead. It's not a bad course. Pretty simple if you keep it out the trees.

The houses in view are large but imo not nice rather souless looking places which were probably build on the sites of very nice older houses.

I'm playing Kingswood at the back end of October. Pleased to hear it's a great course. Anyone know what it's likely to be like in the autumn?

I would imagine that it could get boggy when wet unless it drains really well. It's a quality establishement thats had plenty of investment recently so should be good still. I'd imagine membership is quite expensive so it needs to be well looked after.

Thanks Chris, but I'd only depress myself by knowing how far I haven't hit my shot/how far I've actually missed the green by!

I don't believe it does.
