Good track with a bit of upkeep needed

Good track with some great holes. Variety of interesting hole types requiring careful consideration.
Not a long or hilly course but a lot of water and strategic bunker placement. It is a really enjoyable course.

The only negative was in terms of maintenance - the greens were bumpy and daisies on the fairway indicated they had not been trimmed recently.

Great condition

Despite the weather and the ground being so wet the course was in great condition. The greens were superb and the tee boxes immaculate.

4th time I’ve played here and it’s always been good without any delays on the round. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Decent course

Played this course for the first time today today (18.09.21) , overall a decent parkland course , the tee boxes let the feel of the course down badly , they were very poor. The greens and fairways were good, especially the greens for mid September.
The green fee was 50 euro which I think was a bit pricey for this course , in my opinion 30 Euro or so would have been a more appropriate price for this course

Perfect weather

Big Bold Beautiful, but the tee boxes...

Magnificient setting, cracking course, greens great. There seemed to be an awful lot of blind drives, so if you are not familiar with the course, a great drive often just wasn't.
Tee boxes are quite small, uneven, very poor surfaces in general. The only let down however.

Great challenging day.

The course is a lovely stretch for high handicappers as myself. Wonderful wide fairways and generous but technical greens. The condition of the course was excellent but if you are a bit wayward on your drives, good luck trying to find your ball. Even the well manicured rough presented a problem . Apart from that, a generous but challenging course that I can imagine both low and high handicappers would enjoy. Special mention for Ted in the pro shop . Friendly greeting and made to feel right at home straight away. Will be back soon and might even get membership.
