Enjoyable experience. Course not too hilly nor too flat. Plenty of variety in the holes, not boring. Sited at a leisure centre which surprised us by the cafe being closed - at 2pm ?
That was the only letdown. But we would go again.

Course maintenance perfect. Greens excellent. Rather hilly for walking (aged 72). Had an enjoyable experience. Two minor niggles: some tees make drives over other fairways and can be a bit worrying at times on a first visit, and use of different flag heights is a good idea but both the blue and green flags made it difficult to pick out the flag stick against the background (possibly use of yellow and white ?)
Would recommend a visit.

After a 1st hole uphill the course levels out to be very walkable. There are trees but they shouldn't interfere too much. The greens were very good and the course was well cared for.
There was no pro shop and no catering on Mondays and worst of all I and my playing partner were treated in an old fashioned private club manner along the lines of 'do we really have to have visitors at the price you paid. ' It appears to be one of the antiquated private clubs with an out of date dress code and who are fast disappearing because of lack of acceptance that we are now in the 21st century. If you can accept that you will be treated in a condescending manner you will enjoy this course. ps You have to be accompanied to the toilets, presumably because of fear that we oyks will trash the changing room. Also, change your shoes in the car park as you cant use the changing rooms!!

! am 72 and found the course quite challenging being on many levels and some fine judgement needed from some tees. Over trees, into valleys, upwards to greens. I really enjoyed it. For me, it was hard from the walking point of view, but while on about views, some of them were lovely over the country park. The course was in good order. Good bunkers and well manicured fairways. True greens as well - if only I could hit the putt in the right direction. The facilities were a bit basic but clean. Small pro shop. Bar only open at set times (not Mondays - when I went) and unfortunately there were no buggies to hire. I think you'll appreciate this course if you give it a go.

I'm a senior and walked the course without difficulty. It seemed no consecutive holes were the same. Enough variety, and water, to make it very interesting. Can highly recommend.

Difficult to find from main road, no signs! At the course entrance was a handwritten sign: 'All bunkers are GUR'. Soon found out why. All bunkers are overgrown with weeds, some 1/2 m high ! The first tee off was over trees and rubbish with no indicator to show the way, all that was obvious was that you needed to clear about 140m - some of my colleagues wouldn't manage that. There are about 4 holes where you cannot even see the green for your second shot. There are no tall marker posts behind greens to help you. The greens themselves have no definition, they are just flat areas at the end of fairways (1 or 2 exceptions). Very little directions to tees. The view from first 7 holes is magnificent as this part of course is quite hilly. Apparently they have only 4 buggies, 2 under repair, 2 won't charge fully, so none available (requested two days before). You need strong legs and good lungs. Value for money at 10GBP (5 for the view and 5 for the course) but doubtful at 15. Looks like the course is being run down. Even the ground staff can't manage a smile. Play it for the view and as an experience but don't expect too much.

The course was finely manicured and played beautifully. The greens were immaculate. Staff were very helpful, one even rescued my trolley when it ran away downhill on the 18th. It is a bit hilly but I managed it and I'm 71. It lost a star only because some of the fairways cross. Very pleasant day out. I'll be back...
