A tidy little course that looks easy but has its defences in streams and slopes.
The staff and members were very friendly and welcoming.
I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

We turned up early at 10.15 for our 11.08 tee hoping for a cup of coffee before our round. The clubhouse was closed and we were directed to a cafe in the nearby village centre. We teed off on time and then proceeded at snail’s pace following a lady’s three ball. They ignored our plaintive looks as we waited at each tee for them for play. Finally after the tenth, when they were nearly two clear holes behind the group in front the opportunity arose for me to politely enquire if it would be possible for the to let us through. “ I don’t think so” was the reply “ One of us is in a competition”. After a conflab they relented and stood aside. Plain sailing from there on.
The course was a nice layout, tight but not too punishing, good greens but a little lacking in sand in the bunkers. I could have helped myself by not going in so many.
When we finished, the clubhouse was open; serving food and drink on the terrace.
Good value for money at £21, but someone needs to have a word about pace of play.
Recommended, but not on a Tuesday following a Ladies Comp.

Nice little course, not long but accuracy and distance control needed to get a good score.
Fairways good, greens excellent, bunkers okay.
BUT... Four and three quarter hours for a twoball going 5800 yards is a joke.

Nice course layout, with many different challenges. My only criticism would be a lack of sand in the bunkers which I wouldn't expect of a course of this quality.
Beware the thieving crow that stole my lunch out of the top of my bag on the eighth tee.
