Rye Hill Golf Club - Championship Course

The course set up is good and the value for money is excellent but the standard of the greens is sadly awful. They are bumpy and scuffed and mixed in length of grass. The course is well worth a visit if this issue is addressed

Played this course for the second time today. Course played very well where the gentle firmness of fairways and greens allowed the ball to roll out very well, impressive for a mid April round given the recent rain yesterday!

Some tee boxes and greens were evidently recently seeded but being early in the season, it works out great really and will certainly get better as the new seed beds in.

£40 on a Sunday for two of us is great value so can’t recommend enough!

After a very warm welcome from the lady in the pro shop our visit sadly went downhill. First part of the course is samey, flat and tree lined with many gorse bushes. Many bunkers have been removed and badly grassed over and those that remain are compacted with a mound of sand in each. Last 4 holes are very hilly and more challenging. Condition of greens poor and the whole course needs mowing. Bins full everywhere and toilets in clubhouse need cleaning. overall needs some tlc

Not busy. Some holes (14/15) quite wet underfoot. Shame the club bar is not open as had to go to nearest local pub for a well- needed draught beer afterwards!

Great weather sunny and cold. Paid on line. Friendly welcome on arrival in club house.. Winter conditions some parts of course very wet and green conditions mixed but cannot complain for the price Hardly anyone on the course which was a bonus.
Club house closed on completion of round so had to find a local pub for the 19th!

Had a wonderful time playing this course despite the awful weather on the day. Course conditions were great, service in the clubhouse was even better. Would 100% recommend for a day out in the Cotswolds.

Lovely course. Friendly, welcoming staff. Super country views. Bunkers in various stages of being renovated when we visited but that was no detriment to our game. Benefitted from use of buggy. Enjoyed the visit very much. Will visit again. Recommended.

Played yesterday 07/09/24 and for £20 it was by far the best course I’ve played for that price range.

Great course layout, wide fairways, good speed on the green and great views (especially on 15 and 16)

Play this course a couple of times a month. An ex tour course that could do with a little love in some areas but all around it's fantastic. Good pace of play, some real challenging holes as you go around in terms of distance and and complexity. Staff are absolutely brilliant, anything you need they'll make it happen. Great variety of players when you go round too and never once come across a challenge with other players. Will continue to play here regularly for years to come.

I’ve been playing this course now for 18 months as a back up course but everytime I’ve come back the condition has increased massively over the tile I’ve played. It’s an enjoyable course and you can tell it was a championship course for a reason! However the owners and hospitality is what makes this course so friendly and enjoyable to play as a visitor! Playing golf without the concern of how you will be received in the club house is always a massive positive! I look forward to playing here more often and just hope the course continues to be maintained as well as it has been.

The golfing experience was spoiled by a unwelcoming and even less helpful staff.

When asked if we could purchase the following items the response was No range balls, no trollies available or golf buggies.

Just make sure you are on the tee for your allotted time.

Overall the course was in good shape apart from the bunkers which where more wasteland than sand.

If I had to rate of 10 it would be a 4

Good value for money. Decent course, that is dominated with par 4’s. Definitely need to think about getting a buggy for the hotter months.

Bunker’s really need some care and attention given to them. Underwhelming when you always end up dropping behind the bunker, because you don’t want to damage your clubs by playing out the bunkers.

I paid £18 to play which I think is reasonable, I wouldn't want to pay more than £20. The course condition was very hit and miss. Some holes a lot better than others. Alot of the course has burnt grass patches, some greens were in great condition, and others very poor. All bunkers are GUR and from what I understand have been for a long time. The guy in the pro shop was very odd. I couldn't understand a word he was saying to begin with so just smiled and said yes a few times. I managed to make out that he'd said I would be playing with 3 partners (booked as a single) due to the fact I had booked my round as a "hot deal" on golfnow. My tee time was 3pm and I arrived to the proshop at 2.40 so he said I could go on my own if I went straight away and that he'll "let me off this time". That was bar far one of the strangest interactions I've had when checking in for a round. Pace of play was actually very good. The course was fairly busy and I was let through 4-5 times as a single. Through the whole round I didn't have any issues waiting for people in front as everyone I came across offered to let me play through.

Friendly staff in pro shop. Bar looked good but closed when we were there.
Course not in good condition. Bunkers full of weeds. Several areas should have been GUR. Greens heavily pitch marked and not repaired. Fairways ok but tees poorly kept.
Tadmarton Heath GC next door has similar terrain but much better condition

Arrived 45 minutes before tee time to use range only to be told there are no balls available as nobody has been out to collect them from the day before. Ended up teeing off 30 minutes early as there was space and was told too by the owner only to end up following slow players and had inpatient players behind.

Greens in good condition but that’s all for the course positives, the bunkers are all GUR and have been for a long time by the size and amount of weeds growing in them, fairways a little long and covered in grass cuttings.

At £20 a round very good value for money but the course and grounds use to be in much better condition, it feels like to owners don’t really care anymore.

I have not played Rye Hill for a few years. The layout is really good. Challenging holes set in wonderful countryside. Obviously the course has felt some challenges as all bunkers were GUR. It's a shame as bunkers are numerous and big so without them so if the challenge is removed. Fairways are okay, a little undefined but okay. The greens are excellent and that makes up for some of the other definishes.

I will definitely be back. Great value right now. I would alwaysrecommennd ringing before booking to ensure condition of the course

DISGUSTED. Turned up at 8.25am, for a 9am Tee Time, and there was no one there. Phoned the Pro-Shop, no answer (but I could see that there was no one there, also not one car in the car park), so left at 8.35am. Halfway back to our hotel, my mobile rang. It was someone from the Club telling me that the Club opened at 8.35am REALLY!!
I looked that their website and should have realised, when I looked at Course Status, not updated since May (but what year?).
Stay clear of going here!!!!!!!!!

Really good course with brilliant greens. Never had a straight putt and they ran fast and true. Staff are lovely and would highly recommend. Very good course for a very low price
