A long walk ...
Most courses were closed on the day we played, so it was pretty wet but not too bad overall...However Its a long slog in heavy conditions, some very testing par 5's and a lot of walking between holes.
would be keen to play it again when dryer and warmer as greens ran pretty well and would be much better once it drys out

A long course made even longer by the walks between front and back nines.
Gets very busy and also extremely wet under foot during the winter.
A lovely course to playin the summer months though

Shocking fall from grace
Returned to Donnington Grove today for the first time in a number of years. I could have cried. It was apparent before I even parked the car that this place has fallen a long long way. The greens are the worst I have ever seen at DG, possibly even the worst in the area now!! Everything was wrong. The burnt out area by the pro shop is a microcosm of the wider area. Neglected and left to ruin, what a shame. I would love to know how such a beautiful golf course can fall in to such a state.Reviewer Rating

Great course
Played it in the autumn after it had rained and the course didn't drain well. However today it was in great nick. One of the more difficult courses, as evidenced by its high SR but, if you ignore that and just enjoy the course, it is great fun!Reviewer Rating

Tough course
Tough long course which will test the mid/high handicapper. Greens in great shape but some of the holes beginning to suffer from mud although hadn't been too wet. Probably better played in the Spring/Summer.(Round played: Nov 2021 - Score: 106 Handicap: 16.1)
