Great weather!
Very poor “welcome” in club shop. Ignored by guy behind counter for two minutes while he faffed with a golf club. Finally turned to us - no welcome or greeting (we were first time visitors!), then just as he was beginning to take our money, he was interrupted by a phone call which he accepted warmly with a cheery good morning - it was a member! We were again ignored as he completed the call!! Then he took our money! You only get one chance to make a first impression - this was a shocker!!!
Once we calmed down, we enjoyed the course, only playing front 9 holes. Development work on 2 holes means starting on the fairway, but this is only temporary. The course is a moderate challenge for the average player and good value. The greens were in very good condition and fast. We enjoyed the golf and had a pint and food in the clubhouse afterwards. Barman was friendly enough, even pouring an extra pint for “The Invisible Man”....but he didn’t make this an issue!
All in all, I would recommebthe golf course, even though at least one of the staff needs at least a beginners’ course in hospitality training!
