route46

I don't normally give negative reviews but feel that I have to on this occasion.
As soon as we arrived a member ran up to the car to ask if we had mats. we said yes and stated that we would use on all fairways but not in the rough which was agreed. we then found out holes 13 and 14 were closed and the remaining back 9 holes were on temporary greens. This was unexpected given that weather had been dry for the previous few days. This was not mentioned on the courses website. It was 8:30am and the pro shop was closed (And was still closed when we finished at midday)

Members were generally unfriendly and then to cap it all I was admonished by a member for playing a shot out of the rough without using a mat on one of the back 9 holes ?? Really ?? Never had to do this on any course previously and myself and my golfing buddies have played over the country.

We are 4 regular golfers, with handicaps ranging from 12 to 14, so we know our etiquette and how the game should be played. We have played many of the golf courses in the North West and generally are made to feel welcome wherever we play. Not in this instance and we will not be returning.

Relatively long course with some challenging holes although most of the fairways are pretty generous. Also nice setting close to the estuary.
