Stiff but Enjoyable Challenge

My second visit - 3 years in between. Seniors Open this time. A very enjoyable course with good variety of holes and excellent views from the numerous elevations. All in excellent condition. Many of the holes are high up which today resulted in a 3club breeze/wind - add in lightning fast greens and a real challenge was presented. The members are a friendly bunch. Well worth a visit if you are in the area - just 5 minutes from M4J15.

Wonderful Course, excellent views

First the good: This is one excellent golf course with some stunning views. The par 5 14th especially is a hole that you should savour. There's a driving range, putting green, and a wonderful clubhouse. Friendly and informative welcome in the pro shop.

Good or bad, depending on your viewpoint: Be prepared for a few climbs, the rough is tough, and I imagine that when the wind blows you could be looking at some very difficult holes.

The bad: The attitude of one club member on the course who managed to sour the Ogbourne Downs experience for at least 6 people. Fortunately I don't believe him to be representative of the rest of the membership.

Overall impression: I love this course, even though I have played it badly on both occasions.

OGBOURNE DOWNS GC

Ogbourne Downs claims to be the best downland course in Wilts and as it is the only one that I have played who am I to argue! Very natural - great views - good condition. My only criticism is an absence of signposting in places, when the next tee is not readily apparent. VG value at £20. Plenty of practice facilities altho I did not use. Friendly welcome from Pro Shop. Only 5 minutes from M4J15.
