Excellent course

Played this course for the second time and will play it again and again. It is in magnificent condition,. Tremendously varied with each hole interesting and varied. Drives are not difficult but you need to be on the required side of the fairway to have a shot at the green otherwise a bogey beckons. I took 3 friends who had never played it before and had praised it so much I was worried that they would be disappointed but no they loved it as much as I did. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, as were the members when we got lost on 2 occasions

Great course

First time playing here in 10 years and it was much nicer than I remember. The course was in fabulous condition and that’s with all the rain we’ve had this month. The design is really nice and it’s a course which makes you think about each shot. This is not to say it’s overly difficult it just seems to guid you in a way that you appreciate how thoughtful each hole is. I would totally recommend people put this course on their to play list you won’t be disappointed.

Superb course you can see the care taken by the greens staff. Greens true and a good pace, fairways great to play off and great for chipping round the greens

Great course pace of play was slow

Great course, but really hilly. Staff very friendly and the members seemed really nice. One member let me join him when we got stuck behind a two ball.

Just prior to this I got stuck behind a three ball and they didn’t offer to let me through for 5 holes and only when one of their players hit their ball so far left I think it’s probably still in flight! But to his credit he found it! (Reminded me of Patrick Reed and the whole tree incident, definitely my ball!)

All in all a good day out and weather was amazing.

Just a shame that some members are a little reluctant to let you play through.

Fantastic course

Hands down one of the best courses in the area. It’s hard to fault it at all. It is quite hilly though so won’t suit everybody. Looking forward to playing it again

Excellent course

Played for first time. Really friendly staff in the club shop. Course is quite ‘friendly’ to a high handicapper. A couple of tough holes (as there should be) but overall a really good course in excellent condition. Will return

What a Gem

This course really is superb, it’s a challenge as it’s very hilly and you don’t get a flat lie! Greens were exceptionally good, really interesting holes, par 5s were getable and tough par 3s. You have to play this course!!
