The course designer of the original first 9 holes was Colonel Dion Beard who was also involved in the design of Sandford Springs. We were privileged to have him as Honorary Chairman of the Club until his retirement in 1999.

The course was expanded to 18-holes and opened as such in 2006. The new part of the course was designed by Gaunt & Marnoch golf architects with special care being taken to safeguard the ecology of the site. These newer holes consist of holes 2 to 10 and have been built to the highest specification. The entire course has been fitted with a computer controlled automatic watering system to ensure that play is possible on the maximum number of days each year.

Our signature hole remains the 16th which is a Par 3, 183 yards long crossing a sharp valley. The green provides spectacular views of the whole surrounding countryside stretching over the Berkshire Downs from Reading towards Henley. The terraced tees of Holes 5 and 7 into the valley on the otherside of the course also provide great interest with beautiful views in a tranquil spot.

Overall the course is challenging as a high-degree of accuracy is needed to take you to the contoured greens on the new part of the course. The holes are made up of one Par 5, nine Par 4s and eight Par 3s.
