Golf Club (not shop) Review 
This course is a little gem—immaculately kept and playable almost every day of the year, unlike other courses which close randomly in winter because of mud and the weather. There’s only one winter green and buggies are available all winter except in the wettest weather. The course is in two halves—6 holes up the hill, and 12 down on the flat in the river Ouzel valley.
There’s lots of water as the fairways criss-cross the river, but relatively few bunkers. The course layout is logical, with just a couple of crossovers.
It’s good for wildlife, with swans, kingfishers, ducks and terns. The mink now seem to have gone, and there are occasional otters. The lakes and river have some big chub. It’s both a club and pay-and-play, and there’s not usually any problem getting a tee time. Rico, who takes bookings and tends the bar, is particularly helpful and is a real asset to the club.
The only niggles are the changing rooms, which are a bit basic (but scheduled for improvement) and the catering, which is motorway service area standard, despite a new kitchen.
Overall the Three Locks, if you go for the golf, hits the spot, with its excellent standard of greenkeeping, and every day playability
