A true test of skill

The beautiful scenery, and lush landscape hide the fact that this is a very challenging course. Don’t miss your chance to play it.

We only got to play 15 hole as we were advised not to play hole 5 to 7 as they were waterlogged. As a result we were disappointed not to get any reduction in cost.

Good course with nice views

Very good maintained greens. Heavy winds & 'up and down hill' made it very challenging. We had fun! Very good value for the money.
