Location:

Located to the south east of the town centre access can be fraught at times, although the proposed redevelopment will help alleviate these issues. Approach via the A34 (from J13 of the M4) or the A4 and follow the signs as you approach Newbury.

Ease of public transport access: Excellent (There is a station adjacent to the course)
