Good value

Course was in generally good condition, greens were a little firm but ran true. Most tees were good. Only dislike was the rough was left very long and there was often no first cut just fairway then foot long grass, fortunately as it's dry if you can find your ball you can get a club on it. Staff helpful and friendly.

Excellent condition

Played on Saturday 5th August at 1:08 in a 2 ball, joined a solo player to make a three ball which was very pleasant as pace of play was quite slow. The condition of the course was very good, bunker's had a good depth of quality sand and greens were running true and quite fast. Fairways well manicured and tees were generally good. Had a beer after and staff were friendly and helpful. Will play many times.

Very good playing surface

Played after a few previous day's of rain, course was in very good condition, fairways were being mowed fairly short but were dryish and you could get through the ball well. Greens were a little slow but relatively true. Round for our 3 ball was 20/30 minutes longer than would have expected considering the rough was cut quite short so finding balls wasn't a problem. Staff all helpful and friendly. All in all a very enjoyable round.

Great condition

Played at 3:12 on a Wednesday afternoon, as a two ball, course was quite soft underfoot hence buggys on the cart path only.fairways quite lush and soft.Greens receptive and running true if a little slow. General condition of the course is excellent. Staff in all areas helpful and friendly. We were behind two four balls so the round was a little slow but very enjoyable.

Best Condition ever.

Played here for the first time since lockdown on Saturday the 3rd July and the course is in the best condition I have ever seen it. The fairways were all well manicured and with plenty of grass cut to ideal length. Greens are all in excellent nick, running true with reasonable pace and quite receptive. The furniture that has been added to the course bin the way of gates and fences to guide walkers along with the tidying up around ponds along with the mowing patterns are really pleasing on the eye. Staff in pro shop and lounge very helpful and friendly. Had a beer on the patio area after what was a very enjoyable and pleasantly warm and dry day given the forecast.

great condition

First time played this year due to covid, course in super condition now. Greens receptive and reasonably fast, fairways slightly lush, but still a little bounce and roll. Only minus is bunkers but that's the same everywhere with no rakes, still managed two sand saves despite. Staff and greenkeepers all friendly and courteous while playing. Well worth a visit .

Great condition

Played on Sunday 10th in a 3 ball at 11.30 for £20 per head which is a very competitive price for a quality course. The rain over the previous week's had softened the fairways a fair bit which made the course play longer, but it seems to drain well and we were never in casual water. Rough was not the best place to be, but that's why it's there. Greens were excellent soft and responsive and impressively true. Speed of play was only a little slow and our round was a little under 4 hours. All staff were welcoming and helpful plus all Covid precautions are made. A quality course we'll maintained with good staff, we will be playing many more games here.

Good condition in dry spell

Played here for the 2nd time and thoroughly enjoyed it. Course was well kept and greens receptive if a little on the slow side. Although the clubhouse was closed the pro shop was operating. Nice touch was a refreshment tent at the back of the 10th green where a very kind gentleman drove to the clubhouse and brought one of us a Cider which they had run out of at the tent and delivered it on the 11th fairway. Interesting and sometimes challenging course that is well worth a visit.
