With unique rolling parkland, lakes, streams, bunkers and woodland, Forest of Dean Golf Club's par 70 18-hole golf course provides a challenge to all categories of golfers and is a joy to play.

The Forest of Dean golf course is well-maintained and mature with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and is easily playable yet also affords those more experienced golfers a welcome challenge.

    Played the course as part of a weekend break with 5 other friends ranging in handicap from 6 to 28 and everyone enjoyed the course.The greens were fast and true and on the sunday in high winds were frightening.Can really reccomend a weekend here and play the sister course forest hills which is even better
