Set against the picturesque backcloth of the Hampshire Downs, Newbury and Crookham offers views of enchanting woodland and beautiful parkland, a visual delight, meandering from Greenham Common to Newbury Racecourse and back.

Although under 6,000 yards the course has the feel of being much longer and is a tight 18 hole challenge where accuracy is all-important. Improvements in the past few years, undertaken to modernize the course, have taken place under the guidance of the internationally known Course Architect, Howard Swan.

The course offers magnificent vistas at almost every high point and from the 7th tee it appears that almost the whole of Berkshire can be seen on a clear day. At the 3rd green bluebells abound in the Spring, as do thousands of daffodils planted at the 8th green, greeting the weary golfer and lifting his or her spirits as one of the most difficult par 4s in the south of England is completed.
