Played at better places

I’ve played at this course before but due to the recent weather, my experience wasn’t the best. But I know you can’t control that but maybe the drainage on the course could be improved. I think the club could invest in some kind of path better hole so I don’t have to walk through mud to play the next hole and only 9 holes were only in play that day. We had a four ball playing in front of the 2 of us but didn’t have the courtesy to let us past even though we were waiting at the tee off at the same time. I might go back again when we’re a long dry spell.

In need of some fairway maintenance

First time playing here and most likely the last, tee boxes and greens are in good condition but the fairways are a different matter. I know we’ve had some horrible weather lately but I’ve played courses that I’d expect to be sodden which weren’t, but first fairway ball plugged I probably spent a good five minutes per hole looking for my ball when it was in the fairway, it looks like they are spending a bit of money in trying to sort some of the problems out, I used a voucher for here and the round was £28. I think given the course conditions it should only be 10 or 15 quid, the course has some nice holes and a decent layout, I’d only go back if we’ve had a month of hot weather, I always like to make my own mind up on a course regardless of reviews but if you play here make sure it’s cheaper and hotter, I played mid September

Great course

This is a great course. I have lived within 20 minutes of the course for the last 20+ years and never played it and what a mistake that was. It is very well kept, some nice challenging holes and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Great value, challenging in places.
Greens we found were a little inconsistent, some like glass, others a little pacey.
Not a complaint though and we will return again

Wet weather

Need better communication from Club to GolfNow to players.

I’ve knew the weather are bit wet, I was well prepared with electric trolley winter wheels, waterproof clothes etc.. Upon on our arrive we discovered there’s no trolley allowed on course, totally understand why once we played on course.. but it would be nice to sent email to warning about no trolley allowed because unfortunately I didn’t have carry bag with me - it’s actually cart bag which everyone know it’s oversize bag, difficult to carry, heavy! I’ve tried removed 4/5 clubs that I rarely use, empty all the 30/40 balls to 10 balls, it didn’t really help, so we bite our tongue to go ahead and play. It may not club fault cos we actually booked through GolfNow.
There got to be a better way for communicate from club to GolfNow and to players with update regarding of course. Please Improve the communication system.

For the time of year course was in good condition. Greens were playing reasonably quick for it being winter. Got round in 3-4 hours and probably will play the course again in the summer months

Pricey

If you like a golf course that's just straight and flat then this is for you.
Condition as it normally is , was good it's just that the layout is pretty boring and for the price you can play better courses.
Even if you play as a members guest you only save £5 which, compared to other clubs is very poor.
