The Forest of Dean Golf Club sits within — or on the edge of — one of England's most ancient and atmospheric landscapes. The Royal Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a place of dense oak and beech woodland, old mining heritage, and dramatic undulating terrain that has shaped the character of this corner of the Severn Valley for centuries. Golf in this setting means playing through and alongside genuine woodland, where the trees are not cosmetic but defining.
A par 69 signals a layout that rewards precision and course management over raw power. Shorter par 4s and the absence of the typical par 5 count encourage shotmaking rather than bombing, and in tight woodland corridors, accuracy off the tee matters far more than distance. The terrain here is rarely flat, so even straightforward-looking holes tend to have something in store.
Coleford is a small market town that serves as the commercial heart of the Forest of Dean — unhurried, unpretentious, and genuinely off the beaten track for most visiting golfers. That remoteness is part of the appeal.
