First Time Visitor

On arrival, the pro-shop staff were very friendly and helpful. We needed a buggy at short notice and for a late tee time but this was not a problem for the staff to arrange.
The course was in great condition with more than half of the holes having water hazards. The greens were fast and true.
Club house was great, good value and sky sports on show.
Good experience overall.

A very welcome return

After playing this course countless times as a junior it was wonderful to return more than 25 years later on a beautiful spring day and find the course in such wonderful condition. I had a wonderful day and would recommend the course to anyone while it’s playing like this.

Should be in better condition

It’s a nice course. But very tired in places. The condition was just about passable, but way below expected for August. Grass clippings everywhere and many bunkers GUR.
I don’t mind that courses have weeks of maintenance time but they should tell you so when you book. In its current condition it is not a fifty quid course.

Nice enough course but need to tidy things up.

We played behind a 5 ball for most of the round. Really ruined the experience sadly as it was a 5 hour round. Staff were friendly and the starter was great, a great character. Layout was a little strange in places and course condition ok, good some holes, poor on others. Some very nice holes, esp on back 9. Range and putting green were decent enough but Chipping green was bizarre with long grass on the green. Overall was alright value for £35 so 3 stars/5.
