A little gem

Not long and quite hilly but breathtaking views from the top and plenty of challenges for all levels of golfer. Greens in great condition , though a pity they leave a trendy "fringe" around the putting surface which makes the pitch and run hard to play. Minor quibble, well worth a visit.

Super track in great nick.

Not the most difficult course in the North East but a decent challenge for all levels of golfer. Fairways undulate, particularly the first few holes and the last few. Easy walking and the greens were in superb condition when we played. Absolutely superb welcome and the pro shop is an Aladdin's cave of great deals. Highly recommended.

Good course but a bit tight in places

Enjoyed the course, which was in fine condition....pace of play dire and at least 3 times "driven into" by singleton players behind....whilst waiting to play our own second shots.
Several tee shots involve crossing other fairways, which undoubtedly does not help pace of play and it was hot, so perhaps some ahead were feeling the "pace". All in all, though, an enjoyable afternoon.

No tee shots cross other fairways are you sure you played here

Good value

Second time playing this course. Good condition apart from the sand in the bunkers. Last time we visited, the welcome was abysmal. This time it was extremely warm. Greens very well kept: fairways ditto. A very pleasant round.

A real gem of a course

Despite playing in late October, the course was in superb condition. Though a number of blind tee shots, we found the course well "marked" and easy enough to navigate. The welcome from the pro, and members we encountered was nothing short of magnificent. Will definitely play again and would recommend wholeheartedly to any golfer (though it might be a tricky course for a beginner). Though not long by modern standards, golfers of all abilities will find challenges. Some of the views are breathtaking.

Good place to practice

Not a great golf course by any means...9 holes played twice and rather flat and uninspiring. However, if you live close it represents better quality practice than, for example, a driving range. Suspect if it is ever DRY, (low lying and near the river), it would play better but on the day we visited, the greens certainly need work and the fairways were in need of a cut.

Very pleasant course

Enjoyable challenge. Some water hazards but not ridiculous. Narrowish but perfectly reasonable fairways. Subtle and well protected greens more than compensate for lack of length.

Potentially excellent new course

Lots of water: few bunkers. Avoid the ponds and it is not too difficult. Greens in very good condition but not easy to read. Quite long in parts but plenty of "risk and reward" par 4's. Will be super when it matures, I think.

Quirky litle gem

Short but challenging for all levels of golfer. Several blind shots, a number of tight fairways and most greens extremely subtle borrows. Relatively straightforward to make greens in regulation but not easy to hole out!

Decent test for all levels

Enjoyable course which was in good condition despite much rain. Relatively straightforward for most of the round but playing long as fairways wet. Greens in remarkable condition. Welcome disappointing as person manning shop (PRO?) monosyllabic but this didn't spoil the overall experience. Very good value for money.
