Hidden Treasure

The course was very attractive. Lots of beautiful autumnal trees and wonderful views.
There was a very strong wind when we played, but this did not spoil our round. Was so windy we almost had the course to ourselves.!
We will visit it again.

Hidden Gem

The course was in fantastic condition. Really enjoyed the course some real thinking holes. A few hills to negotiate but a real pleasure for all 18 holes.

Under rated course

I played on a Saturday afternoon and the course was quiet enough for me to keep pace most of the way after joining up with another golfer. It is picturesque and way better than expected for the hot deal price of £12. The greens were in outstanding condition and no winter greens were being used (late October)

Would recommend and will be playing again with my new friend Paul :)

Unexpected quality!!

A perfect example of not listening to others and trying things for yourself. Apart from one, still playable, green with a puddle in and around the hole (we played on a day when it poured down with rain the entire round) the course was fantastic. The 1 star points for staff and amenities are only because we didn't see any staff or use the facilities so can't rightfully comment on them. Overall, a beautiful, well manicured course, great for all skill levels.

Greens Update

Only fair to write another review after being really disappointed with greens several weeks ago!
Greens are now in much better condition and really enjoyed my round yesterday with our golf society.
Course was in great nick and greens are now pretty true and reasonable speed.

Lovely weather, really poor greens.

Really enjoyed the round but I think it was expensive considering the standard of the greens, almost impossible to putt due to sand. A slight reduction in fees on the day would have been good

Diverse layout

Course Overall in reasonable condition with a.good selection of different layouts. Staff very friendly with good food. However the greens are in atrocious condition at the moment. Every green heavily rutted and sanded making putting from any distance a lottery depending upon which groove the ball follows. Once the greens are repaired I would recommend a visit but not at the moment.

Greens were shocking

It’s a nice course but the greens were shocking - I’m not joking when I say there was more sand on the greens than there was in the bunkers.
