August Bank Holiday weekend

Played 1.30pm Saturday and with plenty 3-4 balls out round was 3 hours 45 mins, we were a 4 ball.

Despite a week of heavy rain course was in great condition with only a tiny amount of standing water on a couple of holes, most played as you'd expect for late summer.

Found the course challeging but fair. Better yardage markers on some of the holes would be useful for visitors but overall an enjoyable round and would highly recommend to all levels.

Good course for all levels

Played for the first time and whilst tough was fair and very enjoyable. Hilly in some parts but manageable. Course is firm but greens in great condition and rolled really well.

Probably even better when you have played before and know whats over some of the hills but still an enjoyable afternoon.

Course was busy but people played at reasonable pace.

Didn't use the bar/clubhouse but pleasing to see a sensible set up with people sat outdoors and staff using visors.

Would return in future.

March 2020

Enjoyable round of golf course in great condition considering recent weather. Mix of summer tees and mats to drive off but all bar 1 of the normal greens in play. Some sections sensibly cordoned off but course was good to play.

Improving

After booking my deal through golfnow I read some of the reviews about the state of the greens and was worried this would be a wasted trip.

While they are nowhere near the high quality we have experienced in 2015 and 2016, they appear to be improving compared to some of the reviews earlier in the year.

They are now no-where near unplayable and play ok, though some still look pretty bad in places. The ball runs fine in most cases and hopefully more good weather and maintenance will help them return to what they were.

Overall course was enjoyable to play and despite very warm conditions the pace of play wasn't too bad, 4 hours, though I think had we been behind some of the 3-4 balls out earlier it would have been nearer 5 hours, which isn't great.

It's a course we enjoy playing every year or so and I hope next time the greens have recovered fully and will look like what they once were.
