Arrived late!

After turning up late, (only 24hours) because I incorrectly booked the wrong day on Golf Now the Pro Shop couldn’t have been more helpful! He honoured the tickets and found us a slot and got us out on the course, and what a course! It’ was a pleasure to play! I couldn’t fault the condition or the layout. Thanks BAGC

Great course, Great condition even in winter

This course is one of the best in the county, the greens are immaculate and are the best I've seen this winter, no worm castings and evenly green on every hole. Things to be improved would be the lack of winter tees on the holes that need them more than others. Also some signage to the different tees would help. Club shop is well stocked and has a good layout.
