I felt this course had some great holes. However, stray off the fairways and you will be in trouble and most likely lose your ball.

The first impression around the clubhouse was great. However, I found several disappointing things on the course. Very few of the pitch marks are repaired and many of the tees were completely chewed up!

Try and keep on the fairways as the rough can be very tough. You have some spectacular views looking towards St Andrews

I really enjoyed the easy walking and liked the fact that you went one way and back. This meant the wind was with you on 9 holes and against you on 9. Unfortunately the weather was a bit iffy but the greens were pretty good

The greens and fairways were in good condition. The fairways are quite wide allowing for the odd stray shot. Good scoring course

The course is in great condition as buggies do not drive on the grass. The concept of a par 3 course like this is great in attracting people to golf. It is also in a fantastic location next to the mountains

This course is full of character, especially the back nine which are cut into an old quarry. The course designer did a great job. The only down side was my bump and run chips didn’t work very well with the Bermuda on the fringes. It’s definitely one of those courses that you want to play again

The course was generally in good condition although some of the greens are still recovering from problems in the summer. The fairways are generous and certainly favour a right handed soft fade. There are some memorable holes with great views.

After a disastrous first hole where I lost two balls, I really warmed to this course. The bunkers and waste areas really added character to the holes. If you kept your ball on the fairways and greens, there was a good score to be made. Go into the bushes and waste area/bunkers you will be penalised!

I was paired up with a couple of Canadians who were great company. We played off the middle tees which meant many of the par 4’s were around 400 yards. The growth of over seeding grass resulted in getting little run. Consequently, it was long irons or rescue clubs into the greens every time. Nice course otherwise, especially if you have a soft fade.

With many of the front nine holes climbing up the mountain, you get spectacular views in all directions. The grass on the fairways was great to play off.

Some great holes and many fabulous views…especially as the sun goes down

This course was just what I was looking to play. It was a lot more open than some of the plantation courses around this area. I also felt it was in great condition all over.

It felt strange to play a course where the greens were great but fairways, rough and tees were very shabby. Maybe there is a problem with the sprinkler system? However, the course needs some work, especially in cutting the grass!

I feel this is one of the best layouts of any course I have played. There is stunning scenery all around you. However, if you play off the back tees, trouble is never far from the fairways

I enjoyed playing this course and I especially liked the challenge of the par 3’s. I hit good tee shots on all four of them!

It took me a few holes to find the pace of the greens, plus every green has many subtle slopes. However, I managed to avoid any serious trouble which enabled me to play to my handicap

This course is tucked away in the valley. However, it has some lovely looking holes and is in great condition

I really liked the layout of this course. Some of the holes were very good on my eye. Consequently, I was able to make a good score. It also has lovely views of the surrounding Dales.
