The Course was opened in 1975 and the Club was formed in 1977.
Location
Set in 130 acres of attractive mature wooded parkland, 2 miles north of Slough on Park Road, Stoke Poges.
The entrance to the Golf Course is almost opposite to the entrance
to Stoke Poges Golf Club.
Originally
part of the exclusive Stoke Poges Golf Course Farnham Park
is an affordable alternative to its neighbour. This is a relatively
forgiving course with wide fairways and short rough but don't
get to comfortable - there are a few tester holes thrown in
to test you (10th, 11th and 16).
Well worth the fee of approx £18. Name not given
Have
been playing here for over 5 years on a Sunday and for its
type would definitely recommend it. At £16 on a weekend
it still represents good VFM.What makes this course is the
excellent state of the greens which considering the amount
of traffic this place sees is amazing.Top half of the course
has seen its problems in recent years forcing the course to
be 14 holes for a large chunk of the winter but now sorted
the quality has not been compromised.Downpoints: the tee areas
are not great on a number of holes causing my partners much
consternation. Not long now to the dreaded mats! Even so all
things considered an excellent venue for a Sunday morning.. Paul Samber
An excellent public links course and very good value for
money. The front nine holes are a bit like trick golf with
many holes not requiring woods to be used and local knowledge
of bumps and humps needed. The back nine holes are truely
championship quality with 10,11,13 and 16 as good as any holes
anywhere in the country. An additional bonus is the superb
clubhouse facilities and hospitality. Overall the place is
a credit to all who work there - both on and off the course.An

I agree that this course is great value for money at
£19.50. It's a pretty, tree-lined course in excellent
condition. The trees are not a hazard though as the fairways
are quite wide. This was the first time I've played this course
and I'll definaitely go back. But, be warned: We teed off
at 1pm on a Sunday and on each hole on vitually the whole
round there was at least 2-3 groups waiting at the next tee.
Very frustrating. I haven't seen anything quite like this
in a number of years. I got so bad that my mate and I teamed
up with the two ladies playing behind us - the idea being
that a foursome would take longer to get to the next tee and
(hopefully) have a shorter wait. Despite this we still kept
pace with the groups ahead of us. One of the ladies was a
club member and she said that the 7-minute gap between tee
times was the main reason for this situation. I suppose they're
trying to make as much money as possible without caring too
much of the enjoyment of the golfers playing there. A good
course but the queues are a bummer. You have been warned! Nazeem 16 October 2005
