Originally one of the oldest golf courses in Southern England, golf has been played at Billingbear Park since the late nineteenth century. The land was then farmed during the two world wars before being rebuilt as a golf course in 1989. Since then a new nine hole course has been added, so that there are now two, nine hole golf courses on this medieval site. The Old Course consists of one par 5, five par fours and three par three holes. The new course is a fascinating and scenic par three course where two lakes create delightful water hazards (optional) and the views are stunning. At Billingbear, we work hard to maintain a friendly, welcoming atmosphere both in the quaint portacabin (clubhouse) and on the courses. "Golf for All" is the motto here. Beginners are welcome to hire a half set of clubs for £5 and have a go on the New Course (£7 weekdays, £8 weekends.) More experienced golfers are welcome to book a tee time on the Old Course. Both courses are open seven days a week. Billingbear Park is easily reached from Wokingham, Bracknell, Binfield and the A329M. Many golfers enjoy playing both courses creating a varied, fun eighteen holes. Societies are welcome at Billingbear Park, particularly at non peak times. The Bullfinch Pub which is situated half a mile away, welcomes golfers and provides food and beverages all day. Golfers may choose to play our courses in any combination they wish, leaving for a pub break and returning later to Billingbear ready for more golfing challenges. |
