Great value
Great value,
I got paired with a member (Lee) who was friendly and easy going, the staff in the pro shop where very welcoming, both of which made it a great afternoon , would definitely recommend and look forward to going back
Only 9 holes open
So boggy even on the 9 holes that were open, probably best to keep clear until the warm dry weather returns before thinking of playing this again
.
Decent value for money. Plus decent course
For what I paid to play me and my mate was very impressed with everything the course had to offer.
After some rain over night the course was slightly flooded but after an hour or so the greens were dry.
We had a really good time
Will play again soon
Avoid at all costs
Paid for 18 but ended up waking off after 9. Could and should have been sent off the back 9 as there was a match being played.
I am very well aware that we have had a lot of rain in recent months, but the fact that we were struggling to find our balls in the middle of the fairways says everything. Screams of a lack machinery or staff. Greens/Tees weren’t too bad in all fairness, which begs the questions, why were the fairways soo bad.
Finally reached the 10th tee, to realise it had taken us 2 hours 20 mins. We agreed to cut across to the 17th to play the last 2 holes and call it a day only to find that the 17th was closed for some reason lol. Single holes being closed in the middle of April is criminal. So we just walked all the way back in and cut our losses.
Fab Forrest
This is a fab track. Varied holes and a good test. Play it
A little disappointed that 2 holes, 15th & 17th are temporary. The pro shop only told us about hole 17, need other players to tell us how to play the 15th (from a par 4 to a very short par 3)
Great challenging layout but has some negatives
Friendly staff let us tee off earlier which was great but unfortunately due to all amenities closing before we was going to finish, we was unable to make use of a cart. Course condition was OK but I think because of the recent hot weather the fairways were more like first cut and the greens were quite slow as they have been left to grow out slightly. I don't know how but there seemed to be range balls all over the course and the 10th was peppered with hundreds of them, I played a shot off the tee which landed in the slight rough where it would normally be very easy to find the but because of the vast amount of range balls eventually gave up and played a drop. I would recommend as I think the later tee time we played effected our experience.
Well looked after course
Third time playing here in the last 18 months, course was in great condition (July). Greens were very true. Course isn’t the longest but has some challenging holes. Staff were friendly, but a stuffy course. Will be booking again soon.
Excellent Course
Really enjoyed playing here. Course is lovely and kept in great condition. The greens were in excellent condition - massive well done to the greenkeepers!
Disappointed
Course not in the best of condition. Greens very sandy. Many fairways spoilt by sand covering what I assume are new drainage channels. Some of the tees also in poor condition.
10th hole was closed due to the damage to the netting along the driving range, so to compensate the 11th was split into 2 holes with a temporary green. Bizarrely the sign informing you of this is not until after you have teed off on the 11th, thinking it was a long par 5, when in fact it was a short par 4.
Greeted by a very grumpy member on the tee at the start of the round who was moaning that we were teeing off late, as he was playing in a competition behind us. We explained to him we had to wait for the group in front to tee off and clear the fairway, but he was not happy and kept up his moaning. By the time we made the second green, he hadn’t even made it to the first green. So much for him being in a hurry!
Clubhouse bar was closed by 7pm, even though there were still plenty of players on the course.
All in all a disappointing visit.
Worthwhile
Everything great apart from being paired up with two others to make a foursome
Worth a visit
We played here after getting back from a month in Spain & the cold weather was a bit of a shock. The ground conditions were wet but the course was still playable. The pro was extremely helpful & friendly & the members we encountered on the course were also very friendly.
