Slow play

Played this course this afternoon, weather brilliant, course looking in good shape. Was let down due to slow play. There was some sort of tournament on which we was not informed beforehand or when checking in. Took two player’s just shy of 5 hours to finish. Very frustrating day!

A good time!

3 friends and I played the Mack on Monday afternoon. The overall experience was great, the setting is lovely and the layout of the course was good fun.

We were disappointed that the fairways hadn’t been cut but put this down to the amount of rain we’ve had recently, it would have been nice to told about this before hand. It was like playing out of the rough the whole time.

Slow play not monitored

We'd been looking forward to this first round, despite the conditions underfoot. The pace of play of the 4 ball in front of us was unacceptable however. Either they had not been told about slow play etiquette or they simply played regardless, we lost almost an hour over 11 holes, and had to skip a hole to get past them. Slow play needs better control especially on winter days when you run out of light!. GUR needs reviewing too - some very messy areas off the tee. Loved our first outing despite the pace - will return when the days are longer!

Not the best

After playing the button previously the mackintosh felt like the ugly sister all the fairways might as well been the rough since the grass was all the same height on a positive each hole was well labelled

Stunning Autumn Round

Tees apart, which clearly had a hard time during the unusually hot dry summer, we found the course, especially the back nine, in great nick. This is a course with plenty of longer holes to test your driving ability, as well as plenty of hidden greens on the front nine. Highly recommended

Great condition

Played with my son who had not Played there before, course in great condition and really enjoyed . Pace of play was fine until hole 10 and then was really stop start due a very slow 4 ball that held up the two in front of us and as a result we were waiting on every hole as was group behind us. Other than that everything was fine including the nice cold lager in the clubhouse after

Very user friendly

At this time of year, you do expect the weather and course to be damp but to be fair the course was in great condition and we had lovely sunshine for most of the round.
