Can’t see the woods for the trees

Somewhat irritating when a foursome who on most holes hit there balls into the rough, don’t let a two ball through.
What happened to golf etiquette?

Played the course on a “Hot Deal” which made it great value for a round of golf. The course is slowly recovering from the poor spring weather and growth is showing signs. Greens were still struggling as were parts of the fairways. Hopefully in a months time the course will be much better

The wrong way

Arrived early to have a bite in the bar. Food good and staff friendly and knowledgable.
No one ahead of us so pro shop said we could go off early.
Fairways in good condition ( been muddy when I’ve played before), rough not too penal.
Greens not the best but they are being attended to, hopefully in a month or so they’ll be truer.
Overall a great day and good value.

First Time Playing

pleasantly surprised

my first time visiting the course, The couse was really easy to get to although getting to the carpark is like running the gauntlet as you cross the 10th fairway and then run parallel with the 18th.
receotion staff really friendly and welcoming.
mens locker room and toilets well maimtained. The bar busy.
practice facilities, two nets which personally i avoid.
The practice putting green is in great condition however does not reflect what you get on the course.
The course was in great condition with evidence of course maintenance in progress and recent drainage works good to see.
The holes are not particularly long. i found i hit the driver only once, what it lacks in length it punishes with tight tree lined fairways that twist and turn.
The greens DO NOT expect to find a flat putt the greens are tough.
to sum it up excellent value for money and a good test of golf

Winter Recovery

A lot of rain has fallen over the winter months and as with most golf courses conditions have been difficult
With hopefully warmer weather coming the course will recover. Fairways are okay but need growth, the greens likewise. Majority of tees were temporary. Staff were helpful and with no rain during the round made a pleasant visit
