Had a nice enough round on a Sunday lunchtime. It was a cold and windy day but the course is in decent condition, all the greens were spot on with the fairways looking a little bobbly but not too bad. Classic autumn golf on a tree lined course meant leaves starting to fall and balls in the fairway sometimes still hard to
Find. The clubhouse is very rough and ready and there are no practice facilities so first swing of the day is made on the tee box directly in front of the bar, gets the nerves jangling with plenty of folk watching. While walking the enjoyable hilly course I didn’t catch a glimpse of the posthumous castle, and there wasn’t much in the way of views. All in all good value (especially for cheap coffee and pints in the clubhouse) but won’t rush back to quickly.

Played on a windy afternoon. The course is in perfect condition and as long as you know where you’re going it’s a good layout, a few blind shots but plenty of room to bail out onto neighbouring fairways if needed. The wind mate it a fair challenge for the front nine. But it died off for the back nine and was really enjoyable. Some fantastic tee shots and good sized greens make for a very enjoyable round.

Arrived on a very sunny midweek day at lunchtime. It was fairly busy but the pace of play way pretty good: was let through by a couple of groups of two on the way round but was never waiting too long on tee boxes. The corse is a good fun layout and in decent condition, maybe let down by the greens which are a bit rough and ready. The practice net has seen better days, lots a ball through one of the holes. All in all worth the money though, a good fun round and not a mega long course so there are opportunities to score.

Played here as a 1 ball midday midweek. On arrival it’s a bit shabby but nothing that would put you off. The staff member in the shop was really friendly and helpful, explained where everything was as I hadn’t visited before. There is no range but a few nets and a practice putting and chipping area. Looking at the scorecard it appeared the course played quite short but that was in no way off putting for me. The fairways and greens were in fairly good condition, nothing amazing but good enough. In fairness my review is a bit tainted as I only played 9 holes due to the crazy slow pace of play. I had hoped to play the whole course but having been there well over 2 hours through 9 I decided to cut my losses. A good long wait on every tee box. Not allowed through by a members group of four ahead of me. At £25 would have been decent value if I’d played 18, as it stood I felt disappointed not to see the back 9 as I had heard it was the better half of the course.

Having not played here before I was given a friendly welcome by staff and members upon arrival. Enjoyed hitting a few balls on the grass range before teeing off. The course is in fantastic condition, the fairways are wide and the rough is cut back which makes for lots of inviting tee shots. Most holes flanked by fairway bunkers around 200 yards of which I found plenty. Although the course is quite wide it plays fairly long which means a fair few hybrids (at least in my case) As the course is fairly flat and wide it does lack the charm and beauty of tighter tree lined parkland courses with none of the holes particularly sticking in my mind. Non the less a good day out and would recommend, especially for those who don’t like loosing balls in long rough or water hazards (as they are few and far between). Was on the slow side when I played behind a couple of groups comprised of the older membership however i don’t imagine that is always the case.

Played linden on a Wednesday with an 11 tee time. The pro in the shop was very friendly and pointed us to the first tee and explained there was a bit of a walk between a few of the tee boxes, but it’s easy to tell where you’re going. The rough was long and punishing but the fairways were in good condition and plenty wide enough so even realitivly strait is good enough. 3 of the 4 par 3s on the course are absolutely stunning, all playing fairly short but with a carry over water making them interesting and great fun. Probably would benefit from knowing the course a little better if you’re looking for a good score, a few holes are a bit blind and it would be easier if you knew where you could miss. All in all fantastic though.

I wasn’t made aware that the course was on temporary greens when booking. All the course was in good condition, it was dry and warm and had been for some time. I would have enjoyed playing the main greens but flags stuck in the middle of a very hard fairway spoilt it for me, it also made the course play very short as the temps were 50yards short of the actual greens on every hole. Walked off after 9. Does have a nice practice area and driving range attached.

Played this course quite a lot and it’s usually spot on however played today and the pace was so slow I had to leave after 6 holes. Literally stranded waiting for 15 minutes on each tee box. Poorly staggered.

This course has some nice long holes that provide decent opportunity to give your driver and long irons an outing. Fairways are generally wide and forgiving and for the most part the rough isn’t too harsh either. Due to the way the corse is later out you rarely feel like you have other golfers breathing down your neck. Fairly exposed and high so if the wind gets up then you could be in for an interesting round. All in all very good.

Great condition, interesting and challenging in places. Enjoyed as a high handicap player.
