Recommended Pay and Play in Bucks/Berks

[tibs]

Hi,

just wondering if anyone can recommend a pay and play course in the Bucks/Berks area. We've played Farnham Pk, Huntswood and Wycombe Heights, just wondering if anyone could recommend another course in the area?

Thanks!

Downshire in Wokingham. Good quality and a decent test. Played there recently with HTL and Ademac and though it was really wet it was still good.

Wexham Park is alright. One 18 Hole course and Two nine hole courses.

Huntswood Golf Course, use to be a 9 Hole course but have made it 18 in the last couple of years. Lots of Par 3's and small Par 4's.

Bird Hills and Blue Mountain are another couple close by which are very good for price. Blue Mountain have a £10 Early bird offer before 8, well they did last year.

Where abouts are you Tibs?

Thanks! I'm in Uxbridge. So all of these are not far away.

What has happened to Harefield place. The green near the A40 looks like they are building on it?

Stockley Park and Richings Park are also on your door step.

Not keen on Stokley, you get panoramic views of West Drayton. Not good. Also the greens have always been terrible.

Ritchings Park is ok, once you get past the first 4 holes. A bit noisy though, and I don't like the hole where there is a tree in the middle of the fairway, straight in front of you. Never worked out how you are supposed to get around/over it.

Definately prefer Riching Park over Stockley Park. The 1st Par 4 is reachable with a bit off luck.

If you are up for Bird Hills or Blue Mountain give me a shout. Blue Mountain is only 5 minutes (literally) down the road

Interesting views on Stockley Park. I agree, the surrounding area doesn't look too good but I've found the greens to be acceptable. I also think it's a cracking layout, in particular holes 10-15 - but you must play from the white tees. Wexham is good.

I don't work in West Drayton any more, but I used to, and the last thing I want to see when playing golf is the factory. Hence Stockley is a definate no.

Don't think much of Wexham. Usually slow and wasn't in good condition when I was over there a few weeks back

Learnt my golf at Wexham. Used to play the 9 holer over the road (Blue Course?). Played mt first ever 18 there and shot 139.
Ahhhh Memories...........

Don't get me wrong, there are some interesting holes on all the courses and it is usually the shorter ones that cause the most problems (well for me anyway). I just think it gets very wet in the winter and I know that they have been having real trouble with the greens. On top of that there are some real idiots on the courses during the summer and it just takes the fun out of it.
