Very enjoyable round of golf. The course was wet in spots but that is understandable given the current weather conditions. The greens were in fantastic condition. As good a greens as you would expect to get anywhere

Too wet, should not have been open

On arrival we were informed only 15 holes were in play. This is understandable as it is January and given the weather however it should not have been open for visitors in the first place.

Course seemed to be a really nice test with a strong layout. The course clearly needed some time to recover after the wet weather

Swamp

This course should be closed. It is a swamp at the moment due to rainfall so don’t waste your money. Unable to play and no refund given, appalling.

Course under maintenance this not value for money on day I played

Was not informed when booking that course fairways had large amounts of gravel and greens were redone with sand. If I had known this in advance then I would not have played the course thus the low rating.
