A few bits of course churned

Enjoyed round greens had been spiked and sanded which made putting more difficult. Parts of course were churned up not sure what was occurring

Good course!

The course is in generally good condition but the greens are a bit sandy at the moment, but I am sure they will improve as we get towards summer. Nice wide fairways for the erratic driver! The fairways are good and very friendly staff!

Great Greens

Played the course a couple of times before. Course conditions were excellent. The greens in particular were the best I have seen in a good while. Receptive to spin but fast and true.

Great Course - Don't understand why more people aren't on it

Fantastic Course. Dad and I went to play and had one of the best days of golf we've ever had! We came as the green fee is reasonable and it has an on site range (which is also very good). We didn't count on it being quite as good as it was though. The course is in very good nick and offers a really good challenge, however it is not super long or punitive. Every hole offers something different to think about and manage. The best bit from our perspective though was the pace of play. We didn't run up behind another group, nor had anyone up behind us, making it an even more enjoyable experience. All in all, I recommend this course highly.

Last chance before lockdown

Played this course many times and it’s always a pleasure. Flat and dry after days of heavy rain and greens were quite fast. Great course for those who love hitting their driver. Surrounded by beautiful Yorkshire Wolds countryside and always peaceful and quiet. Good practice area and very friendly staff. Buggies and pull carts available. Great to play a course where once you tee off you very rarely come within 100 metres of other players and the pace of play as always was fantastic.

Bit Wet

Had a lot of rain the day before, was expecting the course to be wet but in places it was muddy.
Some parts of fairway excellent however seem to be having problems with parts where the birds are ripping it up, especially round bunkers..

All in all decent course and friendly staff/members

Enjoyable

Heavy rain in the days leading up to playing left the fairways a little boggy as you’d expect. Greens held up well though.
Some strategically placed bunkers and tree lines to cause you a few difficulties on a relatively flat course.
Played a little longer than I expected but all in all was a great course for the price and an enjoyable afternoon.
Staff were friendly in the shop, other golfers on the course were too.
We will definitely go back again.

Another day on the greens.

The weather had been cold but the sun came out and the waterproofs came off. The greens were good but some areas around them were holding water. Hopefully, this is just temporary. There were a number of people playing the course but this didn't effect the pace of play. Preparation for winter greens is well in hand. There is some damage caused by birds, etc. which will need management to keep the course in good condition.
Still a joy to play here - be back soon!

Go and play

A nice course, in good condition, considering the weather conditions.
The only negative is that badgers have caused significant damage around several bunkers on the course
