Scorched

Absolutely unplayable. Not a green blade of grass is sight aside from a few tee boxes and the odd green. No apology, nothing. At £60 per round you would expect a sprinkler here and there. Bouncing 50 ft in the air off fairways and greens so bubbly impossible to judge.

A Course of Two Halves

Front nine parkland nice but not my thing. Back nine stunning links. Pro and bar staff very friendly and food was excellent. Very wet after a lot of rain, bunkers full of water but nothing you can do about that. Stand in 12 the tee and tell me you haven’t made the right decision to come here to play…I challenge you!

Great Course

Played here twice now and really enjoy the course. The fairways were extremely scorched with the recent heatwave, but this didn't bother us and it can't be helped. You'll never have a flat lie but that's what links golf is all about. Lots of blind shots and perhaps suits the longer hitters best to keep out of trouble, especially on the holes along the coast. Really good value with a 2 fore 1 voucher.

This is two courses in one really, the front nine is heathland and the second pure links. both are in excellent condition, very well maintained with sperb greens.we played after a couple of days of very heavy rain but the course was still very good indeed. It has a good clubhouse and boasts quite a good menu and well stocked bar, and it has a very well stocked pro-shop for a small course.

Windy day

I parred the first nine ( to my high handicap) but then the back nine beat me easily. Spectacular views, interesting holes, great conditions. We will certainly return.. Ian
