2 Nights, 3 Rounds
3 Nights, 4 Rounds
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.
STATS
Par: 69 (men), 71 (ladies)
Opened for play: 1973
TEES
White: 5925 yards, SSS 69
Yellow: 5524 yards, SSS 67
Red: 5054 yards, SSS 65
The hotel is adjacent to the first tee in addition to golf it offers a gym which can be used by guests. The 53 en-suite bedrooms (two designed for wheelchair access) are positioned in the middle of the golf course, affording spectacular views across the course and bowling green.
All of the accommodation is clean and comfortable and includes colour television, hairdryer, telephone and tea/coffee making facilities. The quaint market town of Coleford is only a short walk away and has a range of pubs, restaurants and other local amenities.
The restaurant serves superb cuisine, with all dishes homemade using fresh local produce where possible. The Clubhouse bar is open seven days a week, serving a variety of meals, drinks and snacks, with BT Sport and Sky Sports on the television, this is the perfect place to relax after a day on the course.
When the weather is nice there is no better place than the balcony area overlooking the bowling green, a perfect place to soak up the sun and watch the afternoons play unfold.

1st time at the hotel for a golf weekend..hotel was lovely and staff exceptionally nice and helpful. Husbands really enjoyed the golf too. If you’re not playing golf there’s a spa.. didn’t use that myself though, and Monmouth town is about 5 mins away in the car. Drinks were quite expensive but actually stay/golf package was really good value.

Incredible value for money, this was our second visit and it was just as enjoyable as the previous one. The rooms are large and very well equipped although being quite large the shower was a little small but apart from that 10/10. The food in the restaurant for both evening meal and breakfast was a great quality and I’d recommend the Bells hotel to anyone. Thanks again for a great stay.

Hotel was good for an over night stay. The club house had enough variety of alcohol and all sports available and the food on evening was great and breakfast was a great start to second day. All in all a fantastic value you for money for two rounds and one night stay.

As a group this was are 3rd visit and are last. The choice of food for dinner was the poorest we've had in my last 20 years of organising trips. Only four choices none with chips,and as a veggie didn't like the choice so someone else had my main,to only have a choice of a curry,sausage and mash,stir fry and a salad is exceptionally poor,despite there being a full bar menu,with pastas burgers and fish and chips,luckily i had a couple of cheese and onion pastys with me. The car park has 2 charging points for 4 cars,two of us needed them but were taken up by nonEV cars,was told it wasn't their problem when I mentioned it. Other than the two ladies on reception and the two in pro shop, the rest of the staff were as miserable as hell. My TV also didn't work, the lady on reception bless her said couldn't do nothing about it . I suppose getting a deal for less than £100, you get what you pay for.

We were given a small twin room despite being a married couple of some 48 years! The shower over the bath was in a really high bath which we found difficult to get in and out of. The set menu was quite a narrow choice the night we were there....we asked if we could pay to upgrade to the normal menu and were told no!

Me and 13 others Stayed here for a night and 2 rounds of golf. Unfortunately one member of our group broke his ankle the week before, we tried to fill his place but to no avail. Upon informing YGT they tried to get some money back for us,as we would have freed up a room but they didn't want to know. The walls are also paper thin as I could here someone snoring next door,and it's terrible noisy when another room around you flushes the toilet. The travelodge I stayed in in Bristol the night before was twice as big and no noise for £43
David
✓17 Sep 2024
The hotel was good, clean and the staff friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant and bar menu were excellent. The course was good, my wife is fairly new to golf found it challenging but not too long or difficult, whilst it was still a good challenge for me. Overall really good value for money and a very enjoyable couple of days.

Could not fault the hotel or the bar/restaurant. Room was comfortable, sizeable and the shower was excellent. The bar was very comfortable and was a lovely place to have a drink or two after our rounds. The food, while a little outdated, was tasty and could not be faulted. Would 100% go back.

Great room, very comfortable beds clean and provided the usual tea coffee et cetera. Hairdryer is available if required and we needed an extension lead so this was provided. Staff are amazing. All of them are so friendly welcoming happy to help and it’s a pleasure to arrive and speak to everyone of them. It is a shame that there’s nothing else other than Golf and Gym at the hotel . A pool table would be awesome, if it would be possible, or even a dartboard. The hotel is in a beautiful area of the country with lots of places to visit and bikes can be hired to explore further The food is well presented and tasty Plenty of choices

I have nothing negative to say about this fantastic golf venue. The hotel, although a little tired, is clean and offers everything one needs for an enjoyable stay. The staff are attentive and friendly from the moment you arrive and the food is fantastic - a good and varied fixed menu to choose from. The beers on offer are good and the views over the bowling green across the valley are fantastic. Will definitely be having a return trip!

The staff were very helpful and considerate going the extra mile to make our stay a good one. Food was good and we thoroughly enjoyed everything we had. Location is great for our group being about an hour away so ideal for a one night stay with 2 rounds of golf. Fantastic value for money and would recommend

Another great trip to Bells. As always staff superb and never fail to make you feel welcome. Food lovely with a good choice. Course played and looked well despite it being winter.

Lovely location and nice room with very large bed. Staff in reception were okay but not very knowledgeable about the deal we were on with your golf travel ie 10% off drinks and the additional items we'd pre ordered. One lady in the bar area also couldn't help us but have to say the male bar staff member on the evening (didn't get his name sorry) and the chef on that evening were exceptional. The food was very good standard and all freshly prepared and cooked. Overall though for what we paid we were very happy with our experience.

Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Food Excellent drinks a bit pricy. My only gripe was with our room, massive hand prints on the windows which looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for more than 6 months mould forming around the ceiling in the bathroom. Turned the hot tap on on the bath and couldn’t turn it off had to get someone to sort it out and the mattress on my bed it was badly stained and also springs were coming through. I told them about it and nothing done.

very good, but one thing i would bring up is the mattresses need upgrading, we could feel the springs?
James
✓16 Jan 2026
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.

Our only complaint and it is a big one is the extortionate price charged for buggies which are £40 per day. This was not made clear at the time of booking so was quite a shock for those of our group who are forced to use buggies due to medical requirements. That alone will make us reconsider any future bookings at the Bells resort.

Superb value for money!!! The course has a wonderful layout and considering how busy it was the course remained in great shape. It could do with more yard markers and maybe a couple more ball cleaners but apart from that we loved the course both Sunday and Monday. Thanks again for a great weekend!!!

Ideal for us. Just the greens were very bobbly
David
✓21 Apr 2025
First day because of weather leading up to date the greens were difficult to read some slow and some fast, green keepers always working on the course. Second day was like playing a different course greens a lot better and true to the read. A great course to play will definitely play again if passing or in the area

Well maintained Good challenge lots of water. Streams . Bunkers and trees - and beautiful scenery Can be slow at weekends- usual case of 4 ball refusal to let others play through “you won’t get anywhere as there are 4 ball ahead”. When will some golfers understand that they don’t have to stand aside : just play alongside until the next hole 🥸

Our first round was 5 and a half hours....ridiculous amount of waiting on every tee. The second round we went off before 9am and got round in 3 hours! Greens were not flat...very bumpy.In some places a serious amount of repair was needed.
Mark
✓20 Mar 2025
Greens very fluffy, not bad condition for time of the year. Could do with a shorter cut. Lack of driving range/net and chipping area let the experience down. The indoor simulator looked good. Great VFM

Great parkland course with good variety of holes. Playing off mats. Lots of maintenance was being done to improve the course/surrounds.

Really enjoyed the course but was held up because of a four ball being really slow (four hrs and 35 minute round ) groundsmen had a fire in the middle of the course that was really Smokey and me being asthmatic did make it uncomfortable and difficult to breathe , bit of rain and the course got really muddy .

We got stuck behind a large group of golfers on every day and it was very slow going when we found out we were behind them again on the third round we didn’t play and just came home but the course on a whole was great

Nice course, not too challenging or long for my wife who has only been playing a year whilst still sufficiently tough for the more experienced players. Some quite interesting holes with well placed hazards. Course and greens were in good condition.
Rhys
✓21 Aug 2024
The course was very well maintained and very pretty. While it was not a difficult course, there were enough trees etc to punish wayward play, of which there was plenty on show! Greens were slower than expected, but were consistent and true. Would happily play here again.
Stuart
✓21 Aug 2024
Some of the greens had suffered from the very wet weather we had had previously. They were well protected with bunkers, some of them quite deep. Greens were very fast and difficult to read. The staff were friendly.

Three games of golf on the course some tough holes as you would expect good condition very enjoyable all-round would play here again.
Andy

Great time on the course, i would say average to hard would be about right, some of the greens were in poor condition, the signage to some of the holes needs addressing but other then that i would play the course again
Mark
✓9 Aug 2024
We teed off @ 13.40 and had the course to ourself, we payed 18 holes without really rushing in 3 hours. The course is very picturesque, lush and green however the greens were very poor. Very slow with barely a green not showing some sort of damage. It looked to us as though many had been vandalised.
Phil
✓15 Jul 2024
Played 2 days. Second day was slow but we were a 2 ball in a buggy! Decided to repeat the front 9 rather than wait! Course is a really nice knock with a number of beautiful holes. A few greens were being treated in places, but clearly GUR marked with DZ’s available. Really enjoyable course.
Andy
✓14 Jul 2024
A very fair playable course which was in good condition. Greens were a little slow but very good and although it was busy we were 4 hours and 3 hours 50 minutes for the two rounds ( fourball) which considering 7 minute tee times is pretty good

Tees fairways in excellent condition but sadly greens were awful. A lot of gur on greens where airation looked like had gone wrong. If the greens were as good as the rest of the course it would have been 5 stars
Vivian

Greens were awful most had GUR on them and they were very slow I thought they would have given more discount on buggies to make up for it but no very disappointed
Jim
✓28 May 2024
A pleasing variety of holes, and whilst some holes are tricky, there are plenty of opportunities for a really good score if you play well, but if not, it is not too punishing. In pretty goodish condition, the greens weren't as good as previous visits, a couple of greens had panels of unfinished work, but overall in view of the last six months of rain including a torrential downpour on day one, it would be harsh to complain, and my group enjoyed three competitive enjoyable rounds at fantastic value for money. This was our third visit, and we will visit again.
Sean
✓27 Apr 2024
Greens were not great. Probably because of the weather we have had recently
Sean
✓27 Apr 2024
The course itself was not in great shape, with lists of temp greens and 1 hole closed. The greens were bumpy n the fairway not great. On both rounds we had to wait around for the good shop to turn up. On day 2 there were 27 people lined up on the 1st tee right before our time. The staff responded well n managed to sneak us onto the back 9 so we got away with it.
Kenneth
✓25 Apr 2024
Only 14 greens were in play, the ones that were in play were very poor and very slow with repair patches in places. The fairway grass was very long with no difference between rough and fairway. Only 17 holes were open. We will not be booking this course again.
Rob
✓22 Apr 2024
Very tight course. Considering the amount of rain we've had it was in ok condition. Only 1 hole closed but too many temporary greens to make it really enjoyable. Fairways were in good condition with only a couple of slight boggy patches.
Mark
✓14 Apr 2024
Whilst the course has been the victim of the very wet weather over the past couple of months it was disappointing to arrive and then be informed that only 11 holes were open with temporary greens on 9 of them. We were advised that we should have been informed by Your Golf Travel of the course restrictions. We were not and YGT have not responded to e mails. Appalling customer service, once they have taken your money they do not care. Will not be booking with them again.
Rich
✓9 Apr 2024
20 of us were due to play 3 rounds. Course was shut 1st day, then 11 Holes they other day. Mostly temps and drive off mats. The course is saturated . Not their fault as rainfall has been constant. Shame as I have been here before and it is a fun course
Beverley
✓26 Mar 2024
Unfortunately the weather has taken its toll on the course, particularly the greens but that is something we have to live with as it's out of our control. In fairness the course has held up well to the weather and the course is being protected as much as possible.

Just a few winter greens which we expected, the proper greens played well and the unused ones looked in great condition
Clare
✓29 Jan 2024
January visit - several holes with temporary greens but this is being worked on by the greens staff. Had a problem with wild boar apparently too ! We have played on the greens before they became an issue and they were quite good. We have only played here in 'out of season' so havent had the experience of dry summer conditions here. Bunkers are well looked after and the fairways and surrounding areas well tended. (trees trimmed and rubbish regularly cleared) Pro-Shop - super helpful. They went above and beyond to help us when our car battery died. Thanks :-)
Clare

Some very challenging long holes . Plenty of hazards Interesting layout and great views Not too hilly so most people can easily carry their bags. Greens are great however due to the severe weather recently there was several temporary greens. We have played the actual greens several times before and they are excellent. Club house is welcoming and serves great meals. Pro shop is well stocked . Not much in there for women though Love playing here
Peter
✓8 Nov 2023
Unfortunately only 1 holes open, with 4 of those temps due to heavy rain the previous week. We made the most of conditions and it wouldn't deter us from returning.
Janice
✓7 Nov 2023
Enjoyed the course. Unfortunately, due to the weather leading up to our visit, only 11 holes were available to play. Also, there were some temporary greens and mats on the tees. It would be good to revisit the venue when all the holes are available to play.

It’s a nice steady course to walk, not lots of hills to do. Bit confusing crossing the fairways but good easy course. No toilet facilities out on the course though and a lack of bushes to use!

✓13 Sep 2023
Excellent course layout but the greens were far to slow. Also, the quality of the practice green adjacent to the first tee was really only suitable for chipping on as the grass was way too long to putt on.
Mike
✓5 Aug 2023
In light of the amount of traffic this course gets it's amazing how well the course is kept maintained. The greens were excellent and fairways were cut to decent length. Very enjoyable course to play with a few tricky holes including the 12th with its island green.
Nick
✓27 Jul 2023
Great course that does not beat you uo.Easy on the legs with 2 mild slopes on 18th and 9th.Tee boxes and fairways were very good.Greens were wet and don't drain well so at tines not a true roll.Dissapointed to see fertiliser being used in July on the greens as well.
Gareth
✓21 Jul 2023
Just a great, great course. Every hole is different from the last. A real test for any golfer with plenty of water to contend with. You have to think your way around the course, it is a very playable and fun course. My only gripe is the bunkers - they could do with a bit more sand in them. But that is my only criticism. The greens are true and just right pace wise. A beautiful course with stunning scenery!
Pete

Very wet, three temporary holes on both days, ball often plugged. Greens had not been cut on the first day and on the second day, greenkeepers were aerating the surfaces. Putting was a lottery, First round 2 ball 4 ½ hours, held up behind a four ball from the second hole. Second round 3 ¼ hours.
Stuart
✓18 Apr 2023
Few temporary greens that we wasn't told about on the 1st day, bit wet in places. Will be an amazing course when it warms up abit. For me an onsite driving range is a must.
Mark
✓16 Apr 2023
Course is a victim of the recent poor weather and was very boggy in places. There were 3 temporary greens in play that it would have been nice to have had previous knowledge of. All 18 tees are not in use with mats in play which are very small. Overall this break was very good value for money though
David

As an older person managed to walk the course as to wet for buggies.3 x temporary greens but overall enjoyed the course.
Clare
✓14 Feb 2023
We have played this course in November and again in February, so the quality of the greens is not to be expectedly great. in November the greens were very wet and now they’ve been hollow tined and dressed and are still a bit soft, but generally fun to play. Don’t expect a true run on greens at this time of year The set out quite challenging , not the longest course but have enjoyed every round I’ve played
Antony
✓7 Feb 2023
An excellent course, challenging as you had to plot your way round, greens were fairly good for this time of year they'd had some preparation done on them so we're slower than could have been, but you got used to the pace, will definitely be coming back, as whole group loved it. Thanks

We enjoyed lovely weather which made the whole experience. The round on Sunday was very slow, 5 hours for a fairly short course. Monday & Tuesday were much better, 3-4 hours. The greens were longer than I’m used to so putting took a while to get right. I would have liked a course map with suggestions for directions. Overall an enjoyable few days
Gareth
✓11 Oct 2022
First round was slow as very busy with lots of big groups. Quicker on second day. Think low handicappers would find course easy, but for myself it was average difficulty. Great vale for money and a good trip for the group of 6 I went with.
Paul
✓10 Oct 2022
Where to start... Very slow getting off due to club matches being played, after a very slow and painful 3 hours on buggies to do just the front 9 we got to the 10th and was told it would be an hour before we could even start again. So we went back and played the front 9 again... Then Sunday the same again. We could only play 9 holes due to club matches being on again.. And having to deal with club members demanding to play through us even though there was lots of 4 balls infront of us. Will not be returning to this place again that's for sure. And as for your golf travel there more concerned with getting you're money than they are Sorting the booking! If I hadn't rang up a week before we went, the hotel wouldn't of known we was coming. as your golf travel hadn't booked it!
Neil
✓15 Sep 2022
Unfortunately we appeared to arrive for our 3 rounds of golf with the greens in a very poor state (grass was the longest we've played on all year), possibly due to annual seasonal maintenance, as all the greens were covered in sand/seed/fertilizer as well as having been cut so that even ridges existed across all putting services which meant the ball bobbed when crossing the ridges or ran along a ridge trough when slowing down having being putted in the other direction. Otherwise the fairways and condition of the course was good and enjoyed by all in our party. Unfortunately, the condition of the greens meant all in our party expressed a wish not to return to this course when deciding where to attend in any of our scheduled three trips next year (2023). To be fair, we think we arrived on the course shortly after a period of hot and dry weather so the greens hadn't had enough time to recover.
Julia
✓20 Aug 2022
A challenging course for all abilities with each hole presenting something to think about. Signage from green to tee could be better as we relied on other players for directions on more than one occasion. Greens were slow and a little rough in places but this may well be due to the exceptional weather conditions of late. Our group consisted of both high and low handicappers so a real mix of abilities and everyone had a great experience playing. Really enjoyed
James
✓11 Aug 2022
Graham
✓20 Jul 2022
The hard dry ground made it difficult to judge your shots to the greens with balls often running off through the back of the green. Some managed much better than others. The hot weather also took it's toll but overall all the players enjoyed their stay.

LA great course in a lovely setting. Some of the tees are quite close to each other and the greens so you have to watch out for wayward shots. Tee times are quite close together so the weekend starts can be a bit slow but soon speed up during your round. Highly recommended.
Alan
✓10 Feb 2020
Nice parkland course that had 18 holes open despite the terrible weather conditions we'd recently had, therefore a lot of temporary tees and a couple of temporary greens due to this. They were working very hard to keep the conditions and keep he course open. Be lovely to play in the summer I expect.

Our only complaint is that when we arrived at the hotel we discovered that the pro shop had no record of the tee times we had booked through Your Golf Travel! The golf professional was very helpful and managed to give us alternative tee times although the course was busy. The course was pretty and in good condition apart from the bunkers which could have done with more sand in them, also a lot of the bunkers were missing rakes and so not raked. The course was not too difficult, very enjoyable for the mid - higher handicapped players. We were lucky to have perfect weather on the 3 days we played. Would definitely go back and play there again. If booking with Your Golf Travel it would be a good idea to check in advance with the pro shop that they have to booked in.
Timothy
✓1 May 2019
The course was interesting and well kept, The front 9 was well signposted to the next tee but this was not the case on the back 9 the 12th tee was especially well hidden. There were lots of people on the course but it was well managed and the professional allowed us to start early on Monday so we were not behind a large society which was much appreciated.
Mike
✓22 Mar 2019
We found the golf course very bland,but the green fees of only £9( when we played)reflected that in the price.We travelled all the way from Southampton to play,It’s probably an ideal course to play at for the price if you live fairly local.We would rather pay more and play at the Celtic Manor in Newport next time.
