The course was in reasonable condition considering the week before the course was closed because it was waterlogged, there are some holes that run parallel to each other. The fourth tee is behind the third green creating a hold up because if you over hit your approach shot to the third it puts players on fourth tee in danger, there are 3 par 3's and a short par 4 at the turn which also creates a bit of a hold up. There is a lack of clubhouse facilities for golfers, no changing rooms and toilets are in the Spa area, overall the course is a good test of golf and will definitely play it again.

We played this course on a Saturday afternoon and the course was very quiet so no hold ups, the course is in very good condition considering the recent wet weather, there were a few boggy patches, the greens were excellent, there is some GUR in front a couple of greens. The biggest problems was flies buzzing around our heads right from the first tee all the way round and even the players behind us asked what was going on with the flies!

This is the third time I have played this course and cannot remember the flies being a problem before so it could be down to farmers spreading manure on adjacent fields.

The course was in excellent condition, best greens we have played on for a few months. But because it was a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon the course was busy and we got stuck behind a four ball who didn’ t call is through until15 hole so we were waiting on virtually every hole. Other than that course was in excellent condition and will definitely return in the future.

Have played this course numerous times over the years and this is worst condition I have seen, the greens have been allowed the dry out and burn during the heatwave, there are bare patches, they are cracked, the grass is dead, it will take a long time for these greens to recover. The rest of the course wasn't to bad you expect the fairways to have taken a bashing in the hot weather but other courses I have played recently have looked after the greens. I presume because of the state of the greens the course was very quiet, we played at 11:43 on a Sunday and were virtually the only ones on the course, we were able to play at our own pace nobody in front of us holding us up and nobody right behind us.

We played this on probably the hottest day of the year, greens in very good condition but rest of course was very dry, tees haven't seen water for months very difficult to get tee pegs in ground. Many of the water hazards were bone dry, but all said I played one of my best rounds this year, would play again but after we have had some wetter weather to freshen it up.

The course was in very good condition for time of the year and considering the amount of rain we had. The bunkers were very wet, the greens were in excellent condition, would definitely consider playing here again during the winter because course was in such good condition.

The course was in excellent condition, the pace of play on first 9 holes (Somers) was fine but when we got to the second 9 holes (Hampton) we were stuck behind 2 four balls who were playing a competition so pace of play was very, very slow, it was so slow we decided to move on to the Blythe course because we wouldn't have finished before light disappeared (we had a 16:04 tee time). So the only problem was over booking the course or course marshall's not speeding up pace of play or too many people playing the Hampton course.

The course was only a 9 hole course so had to play same holes twice for 18.Fairly straight forward course, the challenges are ponds and streams/ditches, greens could do with a bit more maintenance to remove the weeds and make them more receptive. Course maintenance could be improved it looked a bit neglected in places.

Played the course on Sunday 23rd April and the weather was perfect, the course was in very good condition, most of the greens were in very good condition but there were a few with bare patches. The greens were flat and level, tees were in excellent condition, fairways had been aerated so were nice and spongy. The course is narrow in places so accuracy is needed or you could be in trouble. Overall it was a great course well worth playing.
