Washed out

I recently played this course and had booked an early morning tee time. The previous nights weather meant it had rained heavily but the course was open so we drove the 30 mins to play.

The course simply should have not been open at all. It was in a poor state. Tee boxes were as long as the rough. 12 of the 18 greens were very very wet and of those 4 were underwater. It has amazing potential to be a great course but sadly just in a state of disrepair and after contacting the hotel, I received no correspondence back enquiring about another tee time or refund due to course conditions.

Also worth mentioning that the Pro shop was shut so refreshments after 9 were from the bar at £3 for a 400ml bottle of water.

Very very poor but yet has so much potential. Possibly a lovely course in the summer but it was far from that on my day.

Great layout although the conditions are deteriorating

I have played golf probably 30 or 40 times since March last year and the course was in stunning condition, fast fairways, lovely tee boxes and super refined greens however since around July of this year I noticed the course start to get a bit out of shape. Plenty of old unrepaired divots on the fairways, patchy greens and poor tee boxes.

It's sad to see as previously this was a very well kept course with lovely views but just seems a bit run down of late. Things can turn around as quick as they have gone the other way so let's hope it comes back to a premium championship course.

All in all its a great club but just need sprucing up. By no means a poor course

Cramped course

I played on a lovely midweek afternoon.

The course is very closer together even with shared fairways at a point which slows up the pace of play. The course wasn't in the best condition given the situation and there was little distinction between fairways and rough. The greens were inconsistent and bobbly. I won't be back but for a quick round local I suppose it would suffice
