Bit hilly

Mixture of hilly and undulating fairways but slopes are up and down as opposed to side slopes. Good views. Well maintained course. Able to walk for those without fitness problems.

Great course.

Definitely play it again in the near future, challenging but fair if you miss the fairways and the greens where in great condition.
Definitely recommend playing it to anyone.

Gods mix of interesting holes

I played the course with friends following a week of rain. The course was very wet in places and the greens were uneven, slow and hadn’t been cut. The layout was a bit confusing in places too but the course was a great mix of long & short holes with elevated tees and greens - some of the views were fantastic too. This has the potential to be a gem of a course and maybe we played it too early in the season but the greens did let the course down. The clubhouse is very nice & all staff were friendly and welcoming

Saturday afternoon slog

Teeing off at the end of a late summer Saturday in a fairly blustery conditions all well on the first hole. On the second a chap appeared out of the trees before ditch, as we were walking down the hole (having driven off and landed over said ditch). He concluded his hole and then let us through. All was then well until the 5th where we caught up with a three ball- an older bloke and two young kids. The speed of play was abysmal thereafter, and they didn’t let us through. We thought of cutting holes but there were a number of groups further ahead.

The course was looking pretty- as you’d expect in august. Greens a little slow.

Not bad- glacial pace though.

Saturday following the comp, I guess. Almost four hours for a 1 ball….

Course not in bad nick for the time of year.

First and last time playing this course.

Fairways needed cutting, and the greens were bumpy and looked diseased.

Lovely in the summer

I have played this course once before and loved it. Really interesting holes, enticing par 3's and solid greens....played it on Saturday and I was shocked. The fee was £26 Inc booking fee... For a course in the condition it is in, that was way to much money. The course should have been closed. The fairways, tee boxes and paths are getting destroyed. I will play this again when the weather improves because its a fun track. I understand that clubs need to re coup some losses from being shut during covid but the members here can not be happy that they are allowing the course to get destroyed when it should be closed. Great in the summer, avoid in the winter.
