Very nice

Quite enjoyed this course. It looked like I’d made a mistake walking from the car park as the first hole didn’t look great off the tee (7 iron off the tee to a shared fairway with the 9th - the hole was only 220 is yards and dog legged left). Once you get past the first the course really comes alive. Great fairways and lovely greens. Tee boxes need to be sorted as a lot of them were quite bare and uneven (the blocks were spread across the entire box instead of being sectioned off to allow one half to grow while the other is in use). Not much over a challenge if you can hit it straight as it is not a long course.

Crossing overs

Many fairways were crossing over each other and some tee boxes are very much in the firing lines of players approaching neighbouring greens. Could be nerve wracking if playing in a very busy day. We had a rather quiet afternoon so it was just ok.

Great course, super friendly

The course was kept in superb conditions, greens were better than any other course I’ve played in South Wales recently. The staff were incredibly friendly and the members were the same. If I lived closer, I would be a member without hesitation. I look forward to coming back!

Excellent as usual!

I don't want to tell too many people about this course, as it may get too busy! This was another excellent round as usual, with the course in remarkably good condition given the torrential rain over the past week or so. Never fails to deliver - wonderful course!

Very icy - but still wonderful!

Ground was solid - which made for some interesting bounces, and huge carries - but course was still (as ever) in superb condition. Only one temporary green, and the others all in excellent condition, even if I was putting through ground frost on occasions. Testament to the club and the groundstaff that the course was even open, let alone playable, members were lovely and friendly as usual, and I thoroghly enjoyed my round here yet again. What a lovely course, long may I enjoy coming back here!

Well worth a round

Excellent grounds and surroundings. Both rounds played have been under winter conditions and winter tees, with a couple of movements of hole sequence but very easy to follow.
Seriously considering a joint membership.

Great course for beginners

Great course! Even though I went in the heavy rain. Really good for those new to golf like myself, really wide fairways. Greens are holding up well for the weather we've been having. Highly suggest!

Busy Day!

Liked the course on what was a very busy day. Ended up playing alone and as expected got held up a bit which I didn't mind because I didn't know the course at all. Staff were excellent on arrival, very welcoming. I will come back and hopefully better my score on a quieter day.

Impressive

As I'm going to be moving to the Newport area soon exact location yet unknown and tried this course with the intention of finding a new home club.
Firstly what a friendly reception I had.
Secondly the fairways and green approaches are as good as I've played this year.
Unfortunately for me, but good for the members the greens have just undergone their winter maintenance so weren't at their best, however it was I can see why they are rated so highly.
Some very interesting holes and wonderful views.
The only negative comment I can make is a lack of pro shop.
This is definitely the strongest contender to be my new club next year .
