Forest of Dean Golf Club
The Forest of Dean course is not ultra-long by modern standards at a little over 6,000 yards from the back tees, but it will keep you entertained throughout your round - and a prettier parkland course you will struggle to find. Established in 1973, the Forest of Dean course has matured majestically over the last three decades, winding its way around the Wye Valley and providing some enchanting views over the surrounding countryside.
With rolling parkland, lakes, streams, bunkers and woodland, this undulating par-69 layout provides a challenge to all categories of golfer and is a joy to play. The golf course is well-maintained and feels very mature, with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
The complex also incorporates a large practice ground, chipping green and putting green, and another bonus is that the course is renowned for its excellent drainage, ensuring great conditions for visiting golfers - one reason it now hosts the PGA West Region Order of Merit tournament, the Forest Classic.

We arrived to 30 plus people on the first tee, had a word in Pro shop & our original tee was put back to 13-25 & then we found out we wouldn't get out until 14-20 at best, no starter to organise, in the end we booked Monmouth GC for the two days, I won't be returning to the Bells Country Club anytime soon

Rounds were slow to begin with as the Par 3, 2nd hole tends to cause a slight delay but otherwise fine. A few tricky shots over water / drainage ditches and a narrow / blind tee shot on the 14th. Overall a nice place for a round, great for societies and trips. Staff at the bar / hotel were great and only a short walk down the hill into town to the local pubs for some variety.
