Great course and views but ensure your golf insurance is in place

The holes themselves are great and generally are forgiving off the tee but challenging on the greens. Course was in great condition but could do with some next tee signage in places (4th an example). Views are amazing, especially at both the top and bottom of the course. Most courses involve some sort of trade off and here it is the layout. The reality is the land is not big enough for 18 holes. This results in some holes crossing and on occasions some truely dangerous tee positions (3rd/6th tees and 16th green/17th tee). For this average golfer this is very off putting. Some tee's are also positioned so you are driving over the previous green which helps add to hold ups around the course. In summary a course that would be near the top of my list ..... on a quiet day!

Great course spoilt by a few members

A good experience with the only bad point being the 4 ball ahead of our 2 ball who were determined not to let us play through. A member said they were notorious, really believe clubs need to do more to address this.
Friendly welcome and advice at the clubhouse. Clubhouse was one of the best ive visited outside of top championship courses. As for the course itself it was in top condition and it was hard to believe you were not out in the middle of the country. Will return but if we end up behind the same 4 ball I doubt a third visit would be on the cards.
