The day started with the warmest of welcomes from the Pro.

We set the tone with lunch in the clubhouse - I can recommend the ham, egg, chips and peas.

My playing partner and I found the course to be really well presented with cross cut fairways in excellent condition. Bunkers were raked and in good shape in terms of depth of sand etc.

The greens were also in really good condition. They looked a bit faster than they actually were but that’s completely understandable as we’re heading towards winter.

A pint in the bar topped they day off. Highly recommended.

Course in v poor condition - grass v patchy and holes lacked any real definition.

It's billed as an inland links but it's difficult to see how.

We had 18 temporary greens which is fine if you let people know in advance via a newsflash on the home page of the website. It's not the sort of thing you want to hear when you walk through the door of the pro shop.

Paid MORE through Teeofftimes than I would have done if I'd turned up and played on the day.

I think this is more accurately billed as the parkland surrounding a stately home with a few specimen trees which someone has laid 18 holes over.

£7.90 for a latte and an Americano was the icing on the cake.
