Donnington Golf Course

The 18-hole course is a true gem of Berkshire. Spread across 6,221 yards, it follows the natural landscape, weaving between mature trees and water features that come into play at just the right moments. The front nine offers chances to score, while the final four holes turn the dial up - the kind of finish where a good round can become unforgettable. And then there’s our iconic 15th hole, the ‘Big Dipper’. At over 500 yards, it’s as much about patience as power.

The proximity of the tremendous clubhouse at the end of each loop makes for a superb amphitheatre to welcome your comrades home during your golf break, corporate or society outing at Donnington Valley.

Fantastic hotel, one of the best we have stayed in. Rooms were comfortable and clean. All in all the hotel was very good. Staff were generally polite and helpful, however the restaurant staff were less so. Although we pre ordered our food several days in advance, the staff had difficulty deciphering who had ordered what. I believe the whole process, from the request to order before the stay, to the waiting on table could do with a looking at. I must say though, in their defence, not all the problems were of the staffs making. Some of our group did not help the situation by not remembering what they had ordered. A simple place setting with the choices on would have helped.

I found the hotel to be in good order through out, with staff all ways able to help if needed. Bar was fine all though found price of the the beer a little on the high side. Food in the restaurant was ok if you had a problem the staff would do the best to try and sort it out. Breakfast was buffet and we found their was plenty of choices to choose from. So in all very good and worth the money.

Not especially long holes but the clever positioning of bunkers & water hazards made you think on what shots would be best suited to keep the ball in play. Greens were very fast (compared to our own course) and pin positions on some holes made putting a "challenge". All in all, a very enjoyable course to play.

A lovely course.. tight fairways and testing greens. A very popular course hence the 4 and half to 5 hour rounds

We played the course on consecutive days. Both days were exceptionally busy which meant it was very slow thereby spoiling the whole trip

My wife has a high handicap so I was pleased that she could enjoy the course as much as I did. Very beautiful landscape with many different aspects to the holes. The greens were in good condition and were fair to putt on. Would definitely re-visit this complex

Found the course to be very tree lined, so you need to be straight with all clubs!!. If not this course is not for you.The greens were in very good order on all 18 holes and were very quick,fareways could do with a little more time spent on them. The club house needs a little up dating but is functional. The pro shop is very well equipped. And found all staff very helpful.

For we, mostly retired gents, the back 9 was a tough walk, particularly hole 15; much easier with buggies on day 2. Greens were in good condition but we found them difficult to read. Our only real gripe was unpredictable bounces on most fairways - no doubt a leftover from last year's drought.
