Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to play Chiltern Forest Golf Course?

We've found late spring to early autumn, roughly May through September, offers the most enjoyable conditions here. The course drains surprisingly well, but you'll truly appreciate the firmer fairways and less chance of a sudden downpour on the hilly terrain during these months.

How challenging is Chiltern Forest for an average golfer?

Don't let the 'Forest' in the name mislead you - it's not overly tight, but the significant elevation changes are the real test of your game. You'll need to manage your yardages carefully on the uphill approaches and embrace the rewarding, long downhill drives.

What makes Chiltern Forest unique compared to other courses in England?

This course truly embraces its Chiltern Hills setting, offering some genuinely dramatic views and elevation changes you don't always find in English parkland courses. The par-3 14th, with its elevated tee shot over a valley, is a particular highlight and a real photo opportunity.

Is Chiltern Forest good value for money? What are the typical costs?

Absolutely, we think it's excellent value for the quality of the greens and the unique layout. Green fees are generally quite reasonable for the region, often around £30-£50 depending on the day and time you book - a real steal for the experience you get.

What should I expect from the course conditions and facilities at Chiltern Forest?

You'll find the greens are consistently well-maintained and roll true, which is always a pleasure to putt on. The clubhouse is welcoming and unpretentious, perfect for a post-round pint and a chat about those tricky uphill putts you just faced.
