Hidden Gem

Played a winter round here as other courses in the area were closed due to rain / floods. OK - it's winter golf, so expect temporary greens on some holes and winter mats - but I have to say the course was in FABULOUS condition for February - a real credit to the greenkeeping team there. Was a bit difficult to find my way around (some holes share fairways) but figured it out. Almost had the place to myself on a Monday afternoon. Wind definitely adds another dimension of the challenge - particularly around holes 12-16 when you are up at the highest point. I think I hit a 9 iron down wind as far as a driver into the wind !. I didn't use the clubhouse so can't comment on that. All in all - a great track - maybe a bit tricky for the novice - but for £15 on a hot deal its a real bargain and a bit of a hidden gem.

Very good

Excellent course, lots of variety across the 18 holes and plenty of challenges. Played for the first time so it wasn’t always easy to know the right club on some holes, so looking forward to a return visit. Amazing views from the last few holes along the tops. One minor criticism on the layout where a few greens are close to the next tee, causing a delay here to allow group in front to move off before approaching. All round great value for money.

Peak fitness

Course was in great condition. I'm only a novice golfer, so found this a challenging course to play, esp with the hilly features. You certainly need to be fit for this course, but you do get wonderful views! The groundsmen I encountered were all friendly and polite. The course was almost deserted when I played, which was a bonus for me. I struggled a little with locating some of the holes, but thats probably more to do with my inexperience. The 17th is a sight to behold. Perched on the edge of the cliff high above the hole it's probably one of the craziest holes I'll ever play.

Greens

Paying £25 each to play on greens that were being aerated and full of sand was unacceptable. Really disappointed that no one contacted me prior, there should have been a discount.

Lost on the Moors

Lovely friendly staff and setting for the golf course. We played to different greens a few times as it was unclear where to hit our balls. Very hilly course, you definitely need to be fit. Maybe electric trolleys would have been helpful. The greens were not playbable as they had just sanded them and the sand had not been brushed evenly. Lumps of sand impeded your putt nearly all the time. If that was my course, I would have refunded the green fee, if I had been the manager of the course. No information was given to us about the state of the greens.

Challenging

Fun corse to play, plenty of verity up hill and down hill lies decent greens.
Plenty of wild life around the place
And behind the bar
The young lad looked like an undernourished triathlon competitor but told me he once played a round with the local primary school year 4 girls and came 3rd ?
Decent Ale
But try avoid the food as I ordered a BLT and to my amazement I was given a fish finger sandwich on white bread with no butter.

All in all I would highly recommend this place

Great Views

Good course with great views! Very lucky to play on a day with amazing weather which always helps. Lovely hilly course with plenty to go at, punishing in the rough (as it should be) and the signature par 3 17th is a great hole! Very friendly members and the 19th hole was a cracker with good selection of beers on offer. My only criticism is the greens but I understand with no sprinkler system it’s an almost impossible task to manicure them, there were by all means playable. Would definitely recommend and the price we paid at £20 was excellent value for money!

Great value course in superb condition.

Expect a tough walk, but it’s worth it. Superb greens and a very interesting layout that although at times feels a little gimmicky is never anything but fun to play. Overall conditioning was very impressive for a course under £30. Played many at double that price that wouldn’t get near it. We had strong winds which made the course really testing but still had a great round. Highly recommend.

Tough course

Enjoy the course 18 different holes with various challenges played off yellows
3 long par 5s
5 par 3s the rest are decent par 4s
Hole 12&17 par 3 (yellows) is famously rewarding if you land on the green from 100ft above with fantastic views down the valley.
All in all a great experience will make you want to go again. Young Bar managers a decent lad with great banter, only down side is after a few pints he likes to tell people he would beat Rory Mcllroy around the course one handed.
