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.

Great stay overall with a solid 4-star experience. The set menu for dinner was excellent—really good quality food with generous portion sizes, easily one of the highlights. Rooms were comfortable and had everything needed for a relaxing stay, nothing over the top but exactly right. The location works well too, with the town just a short drive away—we popped out before our golf rounds to grab lunch, which was really convenient. The spa and pool area felt spacious, with three different rooms plus sauna, steam, and aroma options, making it a nice place to unwind. Only slight downside was the breakfast buffet, which didn’t quite match the quality of the rest of the stay. Overall though, a very enjoyable visit and good value for money.

The location is close to the course. The staff were friendly and polite. The restaurant is overpriced for the food they serve. Breakfast was terrible with overcooked bacon ..cheap sausages .. overcooked eggs.. all out of a oven. The room was standard but the showers don't have much water pressure.

Enjoyable but demanding course overall. It’s an interesting layout that offers a good challenge, especially with the number of blind shots—definitely one where local knowledge helps and you learn a lot on your first round. The course is extremely hilly, so unless you’re very fit, a buggy is pretty much essential—particularly if you’re planning to play multiple days in a row. Fairways were in good condition and played nicely, but unfortunately the greens let it down. They were very sandy with visible lines across them, likely due to maintenance, which made putting quite frustrating as the ball was constantly picking up dirt and rolling inconsistently. Facilities were solid and the round itself was quick, which was a bonus. Overall, a good and challenging course, but the greens need improvement to really match the rest of the experience.

The course was very good. Lots of work was being conducted on the greens while I was there and you couldn't use a fair few of them tho. Almost no practice facilities exist prior to start of a round other than small putting green and one net. Bar was basic with little on offer esp food wise and changing facilities need a refresh.

Course was in excellent condition for time of year. Greens were fantastic. Played off white tees which were a good challenge! Thanks to the pro shop for allowing us to tee off early.

Course presented well and greener in very condition, particularly given the volume of traffic. Fairways had recovered from the dry summer too.
