WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE PLAYED!
This was the worst conditions I have ever played in. It was very heavy rain all the way round. Despite this the course held up very well with only a few of the greens requiring relief to putt to the hole.. The fairways were still firm and drained well. We were not allowed to take out a buggy as the greens staff deemed it to be unsafe which in retrospect was probably the right decision. This is a fairly tough walk in the sunshine so in the rain it was even harder. As a result of the weather the course played much longer than usual so even some of the shorter par 4s required two good shots. Despite all of this two of my colleagues enjoyed the course so much that they are considering joining. I cant wait to get back here again in better weather to do the course justice.

Only the second time I have played here in 3 years and it has improved in that time. We played as a four ball off the yellow tees which was still a good test off golf. For early December the fairways were in good condition without many wet patches following heavy overnight rain.. The greens had been hollowtiegned but were receptive and still fair if a little on the slow side. The course was busy but we still made steady progress letting thro a couple of two balls. Some very good long par 4s and testing par 5s.The greens staff were busy all around the course but did not impede on our game. We took 4 hours 20 mins to complete our round. Very good 19th hole. Excellent value thro Tee Off Times.

On of the best courses I have played this year!
18 very different holes all a good test of golf. The greens were in excellent condition receptive fair and true. Some of the best I have played in a long time. The course is fairly hilly so a buggy came in handy. There was plenty of run on the fairways for mid November and the green staff were in evidence all round the course mowing and keeping the leaves in check. The practice facilities are very good all adjacent to the club house with a new fleet of buggies for hire. I would suggest a call before you play to check they are allowed on the course. At £10 pp this is fantastic value for money. We will definitely return in the new year.

A good choice for a play and pay course. Easy to book and good VFM. The course offers three 9 hole loops each with its own challenges. We chose the Somers to start which has two long par 4s and two good par 5s. We played the Hampton as the back 9 which has a links feel to it but is not that long. The course was in good condition with a lot of run on the fairways due to the recent dry conditions. The greens were well kept and quite receptive . There is an excellent driving range into the lake with a practice bunker (needs more sand) and a good chipping and putting green . Good well stocked pro shop and comfortable bar with good choice of food. Well worth a visit but be aware that there are some lengthy walks between some of the holes.

Although we played on a Friday morning in the hight of summer we didn't see hardly any one else on the course! It was like millionaires golf. The course was in great shape considering the hot weather with loads of run on the fairways and excellent greens albeit a bit quick for some of our group. Good driving range and practice greens excellent club house and very helpful staff. Booked thro tee off times for fantastic VFM. I wish I lived closer (50 miles away) so I could play here more often!

I wish this was closer to where I live as it's a really excellent set up with all the facilities you could wish for. First rate driving rage ; well stocked pro shop; excellent dining facilities; and helpful friendly staff. The course is an excellent test of golf for all handicaps with some very tricky holes. The greens were in top class condition and very testing. The fairways were as good as any of the other courses I have played this year with some awkward slopes that call for some carefull negotiation. Although it's just under 6000yds don't be fooled it plays longer. Excellent value in all aspects.

After visiting the open at Troon over the weekend my son and I wanted to enjoy a good links course. We couldn't have chosen better! After being met at the Pro shop by Jim we were given a very friendly welcome including a tour of the clubhouse and its facilities and history. Who would of thought we would be following the footsteps of Harry Vardon. Jim took us to the first tee and ensured we fitted in with the waiting members who were very accommodating. What a super course with 18 very different holes all a good test of golf. Ensure that you are on your 'A' game as the fairways are tight fringed with heather and gorse and punishing any wayward shots. The bunkers are as good a test as I have seen anywhere, well maintained with plenty of sand. Thankfully I only found two! We played in fine weather with only a light breeze, I wonder what its like when the wind really blows? I cant recommend the club and course highly enough, a great afternoon out.
