One of my favourite courses and much underrated I love the old school clubhouse and the staff are always friendly.

To be fair the weather has been poor but to be greeted the way I was gave a very negative first impression. I didn't enjoy being told half the course was shut and I would have to use a course mat .
The third hole is on a very steep hill I wasn't going to do it twice so I went home after nine. A grim experience all round
That will teach me to check the course info before booking

My review would have been lower if not for the friendliness of the staff. To be fair the weather had been very poor so the course was not at its best which I have tried to factor in. But on the day I was there the greens were not great. I think my expectations were quite high from the great reviews from other people. The bunkers were like a muddy sludge not great greens very wet fairways. Like I say I wasn't there on their best day

I hovered between a 3 star rating and a four star because I disliked the course but everyone was so friendly . I play golf a lot so I consider myself physically fit but this hilly course really tested me carrying my own bag. I also disliked the amount of blind holes. If you played in a competition the home team would have a definite advantage.
I began to hate ringing yet another bell to say the green is clear.
There were some very nice holes some great views and being next to the racecourse was fun
The overall condition of the course was fair but it is winter so my expectations weren’t high.
I can’t complain for what I paid and everyone I spoke to was very nice. I had hoped to eat there because years ago I had the best club sandwich of my life but my friend with the transportation wanted to shoot off. So I was a bit gutted about that
Good day good value but not in my top ten of local courses

The course was in great condition proper sand in the bunkers everywhere looked well maintained thoroughly enjoyed myself

I've played this course before and it's been in better condition to be fair it is winter. Its a tough course and really not for the high handicapper we were a four ball. No one in front no one behind and we were shocked to find the front 9 had taken 2hours 20 minutes. The course has a corporate feel rather than traditional golf course. The price I paid I thought was great value and will play again if I fancy a test.
If you would like to test your skills go for it

Greeted by friendly and helpful staff in the pro shop the fairways were as good as some places greens and the greens were excellent apart from a couple on back nine that had been slitted
Excellent value for money I would play there again

I enjoy this course I used to be a member here and it was excellent and then it got neglected and I left. I was looking forward to playing it. 2 disappointments it’s been shortened which might make other people happy but I genuinely didn’t mind being beaten up by the it it was a tough test. My other problem was it’s expensive to play here. If you’re going to charge that kind of money then you should take care of the details. Put some sand in the bunkers and rake them and No I’m not talking about the ones being repaired. The greens were ok but no where near premium standard.
I like this course but at these prices I would sooner go to leek or trentham

The course was in good condition but on my visit was very busy. The course is very hilly up down and around with many blind holes and holes where you can't see who is in front of you. I'm no fan of buggies but I think on this course it's daft not to have one. The course is pretty and well maintained with excellent views but due to slow play and the hiilly nature of the course I was glad when my round was over

Had a lovely time the course was outstanding value wonderful views.
The course was in great condition and the man in the shop helpful. Didn't have time to take advantaged of the amenities but they looked busy which I take as a good sign
