The fairways, bunkers and embanked greens of a golf course on Roborough Down are visible as earthwork banks, pits and differential vegetation on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards. The golf course seems to incorporate the post-medieval openworks into some of its obstacles, and may have extended further to the south than its modern extent. Many of the earthwork banks around the greens survive, although some have been levelled. The course is depicted on the modern mapping so it has not been transcribed as part of this survey.
