The course was holding a lot of water. Tee shots were lost even when hitting fairways due to balls plugging. Zero carry on shots less in to greens which were firm and fluffy meaning the ball rolled but not true. Rough and semi rough was penal and longer then most courses, possibly down to the standing water preventing cutting. A tight course that will be better as things dry up.

Staff were friendly. Off course amenities limited.

The standout feature of this club is the unfriendly people who play it. Said hello to four groups before getting any kind of reply. The staff were more friendly however.

Very difficult to comment on the course as it was burnt badly by the sun. Greens were green and well watered, held a ball but were pretty slow.

I’d like to play again when we’ve had some rain but will refrain from trying to be pleasant if there were to be a next time.

Having seen the 5* reviews for this course, I thought I’d give it a try.

From the first to the last hole, the course was in exemplary condition. Tee boxes, fairways and most bunkers. Greens were of a good speed and were consistent throughout and ultra true.

A fairly short course off yellow pots where thought is required.

Off course facilities were excellent and the value for money was as good as I’ve come across from GN.

Will be returning again and I’d recommend this course to all abilities of golfer.

Played in lovely weather with a moderate northerly breeze. Arrived to a friendly pro who tried to get me out earlier but unfortunately no joy; ended up behind a club match of two balls but still took nearly 4 hours.

The course overall was in nice condition. Tee boxes aside, we’ll groomed but very penal even a few inches off the short stuff. Plays long off the white pots and a great test of your golf. Greens were true and fairly slow and too firm to take a ball. Links type approach was required on many holes.

Decent practice facilities, chipping, putting, nets and a iron practice area.

Be nice to play again.

Course is in reasonable condition but not as good as other courses in the area. This is a hilly course with some nice challenges and course alterations that have improved things a tad.

Was met in the pro shop by a member of staff who managed to book me in whilst he was having a chat on the phone. Made decent progress until getting held up considerably by a group of four (clearly) members who were still teeing off on several holes as I arrived at the tee. Pretty poor! I suppose this was my standout memory. It’s OK

For this time of year, I would have hoped to have played a course in better condition. Tee boxes were ok, fairways producing numerous unpredictable bounces and greens could be improved as anything over a few feet produced hop-skip-jumps. Bunkers were poor!

Very difficult to attack greens and very difficult to run them in due to the unpredictable fairways.

Accurate tee shots required and the course suits accuracy over distance.

An enjoyable early round on a spring day. Played alone and got out early and so pace of play wasn’t an issue.

The course is of a moderate length and difficulty with generally tight fairways and very firm but true greens. I feel this is the poorer cousin of the championship course next door. If I had a gripe it would be the long grass walking off of every tee even if booming one down the middle.

Staff were friendly and a green keeper even assisted me when finding my ball when wayward.

Off course facilities are excellent and arriving early to use them would be advised if you have the time.

Pricing was for me slightly expensive for this quality of course @ £35. Playing off 5.1 the course gave me an extra shot and was able to play just under Hcp even after being +3 after 3.

Overall, enjoyed the course and give 4/5.

After seeing many recent positive reviews, I thought I’d check this course out. I was left disappointed.

After booking a tee time on here and then arriving to find we had been put back to a later time on the tee sheet, things didn’t start well. This was further exaggerated when we ended up teeing off 10 mins late due to late arrivals.

We found the course in poor overall condition, still very wet and in patches on some greens unplayable. Every tee had a mat which was for me too small to tee off from with driver and were set in some very strange places.

Whilst we got round in under 4 hours, we were still waiting long periods on each hole.

Course layout was mundane and it wasn’t until the 18th that I enjoyed a golf hole. I won’t be back in a hurry.

After days of rain, the hilly course held up well with 18 greens in play (only one hole out but replaced with another full hole). Many tees were off mats but these were in good nick and had tee holes to use. Greens were decent for the time of year and fairways were also good when we hit them. The four ball in front played at a good pace but no offer to let any quicker golfers through - probably delaying our finish by 45 mins. Club pro was very helpful and a nice chap and he allowed us to tee early which softened the lack of being let through. The course is a good test due to being fairly tight, undulating lies and stance and I’d recommend a trolley if you aren’t fit.

Nice course in good condition. Pace of play was an issue. 4 hours as a one ball stuck behind two four balls and then nothing in front for several holes. Most holes I got to the tee as they were still hacking away or looking for balls 50 yards away often in the trees. Not once was an offer made to play though even as one of the players went back to the clubhouse to relieve himself mid-hole.

Other than this, it was alright.

Welcomed by a friendly club pro in the shop who passed on a few details. Well prepared course that is drying out nicely. Greens were slow but true but unfortunately littered with dozens of pitch marks. A fair test for all abilities and not too penal when not teeing off great. Hope to be back in the Summer and would love a pint when finishing the next round. 4*

First time playing this course. Held up very well in the extremely wet conditions, playing normal tees and greens. For the time of year, very good. The courses are busy, so playing as a two-ball was always going to be slow but 4 hours wasn’t too bad. My only drawback was many similar length holes, 400y par 4s and 460y par 5s meaning only using half my bats as a bit samey. Hope to play again in the Summer.

Played here on several occasions. Course is in decent condition for the time of year although some greens were littered with tree debris which made putting hard.

Course amenities are excellent with a TopTracer driving range with good balls. Putting green (but covered in debris) and a decent chipping area.

Pace of play was ok until catching a 4 ball who had nobody in front for three holes but would they offer to let quicker players through - NO. Slowed the round by over half an hour until they had to go look for a club they’d left behind.

Look forward to playing again.

Interesting and tight layout where the use of their acreage is restricted to tight fairways. An enjoyable course with a good variation in yardages and used must clubs in the bag. It is hollow tine season and so very difficult playing in to and on the greens as some were well filled and other greens not. Bunkers were a bit of a pain as some had no sand and some had heaps of it. Happy to play again, hopefully with good greens.

Friendly course all round with a good atmosphere.

Course in good condition and holding up well to the rain. Greens were in excellent condition for this time of year. A nice course that is well laid out and provides an opportunity to use your bag of clubs.

4 1/2 hours in a 3 ball was a drag but allowed us to see the course for what it was. Lovely views over the sea. The wind picked up at points and made the course challenging. Currently scarifying the fairways but the greens were lovely. Very little practice facilities less the putting only green. Really enjoyed the closing holes with two par 3’s and a driveable par 4 18th.

Very enjoyable course with a unique quirkyness about it. Many blind tee shots on to neatly moved fairways that reward accuracy. Greens were undulating and true. A must play for any visitors to the Isle.

An enjoyable course and was in good condition.

Tricky to read greens that are pristine. The course is a decent challenge as it is fairly narrow but well set out.

4/5

Enjoyable round on a nice course. Let down by a member who threw my playing partner’s ball in a pond for apparently not shouting fore.

Staff and other members were very welcoming.

First round at this quirky course and really enjoyed the course. Booking in was easy with a friendly hand in the club shop. There are many people walking around the course at it seems to be in a country park. They don’t really cause any issues and keep out of the way.

The course is in good condition and was firm. Greens were on the whole true but were running slow when putting but weren’t too receptive to a ball in from a wedge. Carrying was challenging as most holes are sloped in some way. Trolley is ideal.

A mixed variety of holes, some allowing a fade and some needing a draw, some long and some short. Pace of play was good and even got let through a few times.

All in all, enjoyable, recommended, great value and will be back.

7/10
