A course full of character

So much to enjoy about this course. The fairways were lined with trees but there was plenty of space to hit your Driver. The greens were very good even though they had just been dressed.. l am looking forward to playing the course again.

Challenging But Really Enjoyable Course

On the hottest day of the year.... it was a really enjoyable experience. Lovely course architecture. The course was struggling due to the very dry weather - concrete fairways etc - but this is unavoidable. The greens were in excellent condition.
Just as a suggestion, I would add a course map onto the scorecard as there are many blind shots from tee & fairway. This would really help.

Great test

I’ve played this course a few times and it’s one of my favourites. It’s a great test with lots of different types of holes to keep it interesting. It only gets 4 stars for course condition due to the extreme weather we’ve been having but the tees and greens were still in brilliant condition.
Definitely worth a trip round

1st but not last time

First time round here, pro friendly and helpful. Course in great condition with fast tricky greens ( proved my downfall on a few occasions!). Will definitely return to knock a few shots off my last round.

Great venue

Course was baked yellow due to recent hot weather but hard fairways made it fun and drives just kept going and going, played like a links. Greens in great condition and bunkers really playable with deep sand which you dont get everywhere. Highly recommended if not a bit pricey.

Very nice course

Course has a great layout with some narrow fairways and some open ones, great for all levels of player but a course you have to think and manage your way around, if it was a bit closer to home we'd definitely join this club.

Turned out nice again

Started as a wet day but finished as we teed off ...the course was in great condition and fair but tough if you hit it off line.
Greens were spot on and rolling true.
And enjoyable day was had by all...Will return again.

Impressive

From the moment we arrived , we were greeted by such an impressive vista .
The extremely friendly and helpful staff only added to our enjoyment.
The course is both challenging and rewarding in equal measures , the quality and aesthetic design of the greens were a delight to play.
Overall we were unanimous in our decision that we would definitely return.

Great Course

A beautiful course to play, all greens were consistent and played a good pace. A good mixture of open and narrow fairways to hit too, all being well maintained. On the course flyover you don't get to see some of the lovely lakes surrounding but it really made for a great round of golf. Course was a challenge whilst there still being holes you really are able to attack. Definitely returning this summer.
