As a member I am probably biased but
having been a member of several other clubs and been
playing golf for over 40 years I am qualified to comment.
This is quite simply the friendliest club you could
ever hope to visit.
The course is long and sometimes challenging particularly
when the wind blows... which it always does!

The course though fairly young wanders
through historical parkland and is well integrated
into this. The greens are excellent and the fairways
wide enough to encourage aggressive play. Finding
the rough can definitely ruin your round and day though.
There are some small water courses that meander around
the course and can catch the unwary. Six par threes
ranging between just over 120 yds to over 200 yds
compliment a couple of rather long uphill par 4s that
can really test your mettle especially when the wind
is blowing...
The clubhouse is very friendly and has recently been
extended.
All are welcome and will have a thoroughly enjoyable
time.

Aylesbury Park is really well designed. It appears to be, on first sight easy, but well positioned hazards and "inviting" rough punishes wayward shots. The greens are robust and whislt sometimes criticized for their slowness in damp weather, come into their own in the summer. Pin positions tend to be quite benign, which make putts sinkable.
The course is open all year and the staff rarely open the winter greens. Only sever rain causes any problems.
I agree, this must be one of the friendliest clubs in the UK. You are made to feel welcome at all levels and the staff are always polite and helpful.
Finally, the par three course is worth visiting too. The greens are very difficult and make you aim for a spot, otherwise you finish up in the hazard. Ten out of ten.
