Just played this course for the first time. The greens are fantastic and the layout really enjoyable, excellent bunkering and undulations all over the place creating every type of lie. Not just a grip it and rip it course, placement off the tee is important on many holes and there is plenty of risk/reward.
Congratulations to the designer and those that maintain Hart Common, a gem in great condition, I will be back here regularly.

West Derby holds water, this we know. Given recent weather I was sceptical as to whether I would need a canoe to traverse the course. I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. Although the rough was long and very wet in places, fairways hit were rewarded with good lies and the greens were in beautiful condition. Green keepers were working on 2 greens (which would have been nice to know beforehand) but even given the recent rain definitely playable. Waterproof shoes and accuracy off the tee are paramount but if you find the short stuff you can enjoy a very nice course to yourself.

Great layout, very friendly and in excellent condition.
