Frequently Asked Questions
When's the best time of year to play High Post Golf Club for ideal conditions?
We've found late spring through early autumn (May-September) offers the most reliable weather for High Post. You'll get longer daylight hours and generally drier conditions, which really helps the course play firm and fast, just as it should.
What kind of challenge can I expect at High Post, and what makes it unique?
High Post is a classic downland course, meaning you'll contend with undulating fairways and often exposed conditions. The wind is a constant factor here, demanding precise ball striking and creative shot-making, especially on the back nine where the views are stunning but the holes are unforgiving.
Are there any standout holes at High Post that I should really look forward to?
Absolutely, the par-3 12th is a beauty - a challenging downhill shot with the Wiltshire countryside stretching out behind the green. We also love the par-5 18th; it's a fantastic finishing hole that demands a strong drive and smart approach to a well-guarded green right in front of the clubhouse.
How does High Post compare in terms of value, and what's the clubhouse like after a round?
High Post offers excellent value for a quality downland experience in England, especially compared to some of the more famous, pricier options nearby. The clubhouse is welcoming and unpretentious; grab a pint and a hearty sandwich - it's the perfect spot to dissect your round.
What practical advice do you have for someone playing High Post for the first time?
Definitely bring an extra layer, even on a sunny day, as the exposed nature of the course means the wind can pick up unexpectedly. We also recommend walking the course - it's a great workout, and you'll truly appreciate the subtle contours and views that way.
