Lovely setting going up the valley with sea views across the Bay and across town. Holes up, down and across each other provide an interesting challenge where yardages don't mean much. Greens fast and true for seaside golf, but hard to read the contours. Enjoyable and proper golf!

This is a championship course laid out to challenge ball control and thoughtfulness as well as power. The setting is generously and artistically laid out around the old country house with mature hardwoods and some well placed newer planting, teasing water and bunkers, some tight oob, and some undulating but not cruel greens. About 12 greens appeared not to have been cut that day and were much slower than we are used to, but still running true. All round in great nick for the end of the season and not crowded even on a lovely autumn day. The course tested and found us wanting but encouraged to want to try to do better next year!
