We use the Downshire Golf Course in Bracknell, Berkshire, which is owned by Bracknell Forest Council, managed by Everyone Active and operates on a pay-and-play basis. Green fees have to be paid before play but that does mean that you only have to pay for the golf that you actually play (the Downshire also offers season ticket options which can be beneficial if you play regularly). The Complex features an excellent 18 hole golf course, a driving range and a pitch-and-putt course, alongside its clubhouse facility and well stocked golf shop.
