Solid course.
Usually in really good condition. Good level of challenge, greens are well kept and the staff are friendly. One of my favourite courses to play. If I lived closer, I would join.
Course review
Great value for money course in good condition considering the weather we have had, only downside was no grub until 9 on the weekend
Good course
We were booked in a 1pm tee off time but due to several reasons we were late and they accommodated us ..we were last out which meant we were not pushed ...as it was our first time the pro shop showed us the layout from Upstairs and explained the layout ...some challenging holes ..especially the eighth....luckily I took a photo of the layout from the notice board ..if not I think we would have struggled to find our way round ..14th to 15th must be 400 yards to walk. ..enjoyed it..perhaps as we went out last ...Will return and play sometime..enjoyed it ..
Fantastic Course.
Really fantastic links style course with stunning views all around. The greens were amazing too.
Very friendly & helpful staff.
The course is great a little hard when you are just starting some long holes. Definitely be going again.
Course conditions
For the wet weather we have been having the course was surprisingly playable with the buggy paths more like rivers the actual course was in great shape. With only a few low lying areas getting boggy. Hats of to the green keeping staff for making buggy’s and electric trolleys stick to the cart paths, that is going a long way to keeping the course playable.
Slow play
Course has some nice holes and is well kept but the pace of play kills it, played 10 holes in 3 hours and was then rained off. Waiting on every tee ain’t great so u wouldn’t come back here on a weekend.

are you very good course for the money paid? Recommend this course to my friends, the greens were excellent
Bad experience
Rude staff member in pro shop right from the get go. Orders me that my wife and I are to be paired up with a couple of youngsters in a buggy! Told him he could to take a hike. There was nothing when we booked our round to tell us that would happen and I didn’t travel 20 miles for that type of nonsense!!. Too many people were being let out all on top of each other, so obviously trying to maximise their green fee receipts to the detriment of all golfers out there. It’s 1:40pm on a Sunday evening in October and gets dark by 6pm have some common sense please!!.. groups of Hackers in front who held everybody up! Staff member rudely interrupts our round midway, to tell us to hurry up when we were the only ones out there actually making progress and playing holes within normal time. Thought he had a bloody cheek he only wanted his buggies back so he could get home! Shouldn’t have let so many out so late in my opinion. Won’t be back here again in a hurry!!
Value for money
For what I paid, cannot knock this place, have played it many times over the past 5 years and the conditions have improved over that time, however there are some areas of work that have been left open on the course

Can’t fault this course for the money. Interesting layout, greens were immaculate considering the dry weather, which had dried out the fairways a touch but overall good condition.
Like a Links Course
Played here in 28° heat which is rare in the UK but did have a southerly breeze which helped out a lot. A great course with some link like ruffs. Very spacious and if I could get my drive to go straight I could have shaved 10 points off my score;) would love to play there again some day as I think it’s a course that’s challenging but you can tame it if you think about your shots more. Would definitely recommend it.
