Bearwood Lakes Golf Day: A Premier Networking and Brand Promotion Event Bearwood Lakes recently hosted an exceptional golf day event that not only showcased the stunning course but also served as a prime opportunity for business owners and golf enthusiasts to connect, network, and foster meaningful business relationships. The event was a resounding success, drawing a full house with 42 participants turning up for a booking initially made for 40. This enthusiastic turnout underscores the high regard participants have for the quality of the event and the prestigious Bearwood Lakes course. Despite a little rain throughout the day the spirit of the event remained undiminished! The day kicked off with breakfast, with participants enjoying lively discussions and watching coverage of the Masters build up in the sports bar during breakfast. This set the tone for a day filled with not just exceptional golf but also significant networking opportunities. The event seamlessly transitioned into a more intimate setting for the meal in a private area of the restaurant, where attendees could engage in deeper conversations and business discussions. A particularly thoughtful touch was the personalized towels given to each player post-golf, which was very well received and appreciated by all. Such details contributed to the overall exceptional experience of the day. Bearwood Lakes, a private members club nestled in Berkshire, is renowned for its exclusivity and serene environment, yet it was the warmth and welcoming nature of the club and its staff that truly stood out. From the early morning welcome and tour of the facilities to the attentive and informative golf operations team, every aspect of the event was catered to with professionalism and a personal touch. The clubhouse, traditional yet impressive, along with top-notch warm-up facilities, added to the day's exclusivity. This event proved to be an invaluable platform for business owners to promote their brands and pass leads amongst one another in a relaxed and friendly environment. The combination of a premier golf setting, excellent organization, and the opportunity for meaningful networking made the Bearwood Lakes golf day a standout event for business promotion and relationship building. With overwhelmingly positive feedback, including fifteen 5-star reviews, it's clear that Bearwood Lakes is setting a high standard for golf networking events. We look forward to welcoming new and returning guests to future events.

Lovely tough course. In good condition, see photos. Lunch and dinner menus were very good. We found it expensive and renting a rake for the bunkers was a bit of a joke. Glad we played it, ticked off the list.

We have just held our mum’s 90th Birthday celebration at Bearwood Lakes and it was absolutely perfect in every way! Yes, it’s a beautiful location, the function rooms are extremely attractive and comfortable and the food is excellent, but what really makes the difference at Bearwood is their wonderfully helpful and friendly staff. The service and attention we received on the day was simply superb! Our contact throughout, from initial enquiry, planning the event and then overseeing the day itself was with Events Manager, Mandy Hurst, who could not have done any more to make sure our day was a great success. Nothing was too much trouble and we (and particularly the birthday girl) were made to feel so welcome that Mandy genuinely felt more like a friend who was part of our day than a member of staff! Thank you Mandy, to you and all the team for making it such a memorable day for our mum. You were simply fantastic and I hope Bearwood Lakes fully appreciates what a priceless asset you are!

Fin and Luca are awesome. Came to the Bunker on a Monday night. It was quiet and the lads were super friendly and really helpful. Showed us how to set up Trackman and gave us advice on the game. The Bunker itself is a welcome addition to Deanwood! We will be back soon.

It was a great experience today at The Bunker with lovely hosts who look after everyone. It's a very good setup with Trackman that gives you the option to play rounds on some amazing worldwide courses along with other fun games and practice sessions. The SIM has certainly improved in quality, now picking up more detail of the courses with trees, brush and ground type playing part of the game.

The staff are very friendly and helpful - today Lisa and Luca looked after me exceptionally well as always. The simulator and trackman app are great fun - beats TopGolf everyday

Went for a wedge fitting with Ross and we first had a chat about where I was with my game and what I wanted out of my wedges with the gapping as well as playability with short game shots. I didn’t bring the best version of my golf swing for the whole fitting but was reassured that during the fitting I had the chance to test all the leading brands in the lofts and bounce/grinds I’d need and was under no pressure by Ross to order through him or be fit into the most expensive option. Will definitely be coming back for a driver and fairway wood firing in the new year!

Rating: 5 / 5

Great experience with a quality fitter. Super relaxed setting and gave me plenty of options to try for a new driver.All of the new drivers and unlimited balls to hit and feel comfortable with.Great screen presence showing all the stats you could want after every shot. Perhaps better sign postage for the facility. The email does point you in the right direction however looks like you heading straight down to a residence with signs up saying no access. Overall Really good and would recommend to any golfer.

I feel I am being harsh not giving a 5 star rating, a coffee midway would have been great, lots of balls hit in over 3 hours. Ross tried different shafts and club heads for me, suiting my shape, which is difficult with a neutral path, but he was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the session, money well spent, !!! I wouldn’t buy online again, with Elite, I experienced guys with knowledge, experience and a passion for golf. I was fitted for 4 big club changes, 2 clubs I have ordered, and am very happy. I will be recommending them at my golf club.

I had a very enjoyable irons fitting session with Ross late on Friday afternoon. After going to Ross for my driver last year I knew it would be worthwhile again and so it proved. I am a mid-handicapper who started the session swinging poorly, Ross was patient and reassuring as I slowly settled down as we went through the detailed fitting process. I was producing too little spin and had a wicked miss which pulled left but Ross encouraged and persevered and eventually we settled on an iron set perhaps more usually offered to a lower handicapper. I love that Ross does not work in the usual parameters of what people might expect but delves deep to really understand what clubs suit your game most without preconceptions. Very enjoyable session and I’m hoping rewarding (once my new set of irons arrives). A quick no pressure check of the set up at the top of my bag yielded no extra club sales for Ross but was nevertheless a very reassuring review for me.

Had a great day playing against the seniors today, a lovely course, testing but inviting and the greens were in beautiful condition. But the best part was the great bunch of guys we played with. Thanks for the day guys, and hopefully will be back again.

Played here about 10 years ago and was pleasantly surprised by how much the course has improved. Quick firm greens, tree lined with great cutting patterns throughout.

Super course and welcoming staff. Would love to play in the summer… hope to return and improve my score

Rating: 4 / 5

A great place to have a round of golf with some challenging holes which makes it worth a visit. Very well priced for the green fees, the greens are very good with hardly any pitch marks that have not been repaired, I've seen worse greens than these and payed a lot more. The tee yellow boxes could be a bit better but that's a minor detail, overall a well maintained course, staff and fellow golfers helpful and pleasant,

Rating: 4 / 5

Course in lovely condition & tidy 3 1/2 hour round. Quite tight & long with plenty of traps. A few wow views also over the back loop . Some bunkers need tidying & sand tho . Layout ongoing but not too hard to fathom . Proper course & test . Slick greens too.

Just rocked up and hit a load of balls (badly) at the driving range. £7.20 for a bucket of 75. Like the look of their Bunker indoor golf area. Going to try it out soon. Fun place

It's a short 9 hole course but has some challenging holes, especially the 8th. Its well maintained. It has very friendly staff. A nice course.

Rating: 4 / 5

It's a lovely little 9 hole course which makes you think about each shot and takes approximately 2 hrs to get round as a mid handicapper. A driver isn't really needed as it's all par 3's/4's. Greenkeepers do a great job and it's in fantastic condition considering all the rain we've had. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The other plus is they have golf simulators called "the bunker" next to the pro shop. The only downside is the driving range is too short but I do understand why and there aren't any nets too properly loosen up before a round. All in all give it a try!

John , Ali and the team at Deanwood made our wedding day beyond perfect. All companies involved went above and beyond to create such a special day for us. I cannot thank you all enough for your Patience with us in organising our day in such a short period of time. The food was Devine. Everything about our day was just beyond perfect. Thank you for being so kind and caring and your lovely words for us as a family 🤍 we had a ball! Mr & Mrs Cross 🕊🤍

We are members anyway, and to be honest it's a very special place to visit. The sea view, Christchurch Bay, Needles in full view of, is stunning! Brendan for us being front of house, he is absolutely key to our experience, very witty, very hard working and attentive, along side a great team effort in general. We love it here, and will be forever regular visitors.

Played Stroller & Needles. Both incredible views and challenging holes. Stroller better of the two and harder. Lots of bunkers and some difficult hole layouts on both. Greens were a1. Clubhouse really cool. Just a fun place to play and challenging. Lots of par 5s and long challenging ones. The bunkers need the sand loosening though because they were almost all playing really shallow and hard and it was hard to take sand. Most of the sand underneath top thin layer was compacted, not loose. Apart from that it was awesome. This place is amazing and such a cool quirky club. Will definetly be returning at some point with other family/friends. Thanks a lot

Best welcome to date…beautiful link course, with the Isle of Wight views. A big shout of to Christie in the pro shop who went up and beyond to help my partner and I find a good place for NYE. Also Graham Pole for his generosity in buying us a pint after our first game here, as the bar was closing with only cash payments. We will defiantly be back to play the final 9 soon. Sam & James 😃

Rating: 4 / 5

Fun course...good shape...a bit confusing as 3 9's so always around people and other holes. Would come back. Played it in a 3 club wind which always takes away a little something. Great views.

Rating: 4 / 5

Loved this course. Lots of challenging holes, and you probably need to play it a couple of times so that you know where to position your ball for easier routes into the greens. The greens were all running really true. The only draw back the time we were there was the 7th had a temporary green because of a major problem with a culvert that had collapsed near the green, but it has been repaired and they are just waiting for everything to recover

Rating: 5 / 5

Great course. A bit short at less than 6,000 yards but some great holes and greens in excellent condition

Rating: 5 / 5

Update a year later - unwavering in my respect for the effort the club takes to create a great experience. A great golf course run by a fantastic team. I've been a member for a year now and as a high handicapper can't believe how welcoming everyone including other members are. Loads of comps to help you get better, tees and greens in great condition - can't comment on the fairways as rarely see them :) Great work all at N&C p.s. They've just got a new caterer and the food is AMAZING! I may just forget about the golf and go for meals there instead!

Player as a guest - really impressed with how well the groundsman had worked on all aspects after wet winter. Everywhere on course there are ball cleaning devices, benches, soil bags and great signage. Very happy with my Birdie on 17th but the rest of my round we will be silent. Nothing snobby about the club, helpful chap in pro-shop, and being a higher handicapper let others play through - all very civil chaps to someone who had no clue about the course.

Rating: 4 / 5

It's a downland course, close to the M3. There are a reasonable variety of holes. It's not overly tough, but some of the greens undulations can be a challenge. It's quiet a hilly course, so if you're carrying, be prepared. The clubhouse staff are welcoming friendly. The food is OK. If you're in the area it's worth a visit.
