Played On 07/03/2020Do not go alone!
If you haven't played here before, don't go alone! Even with the map on the back of the card it is very difficult to find the tee boxes as there are no tee markers, just spray paint/chalk on the ground. The ladies' tees would have been impossible to find if I hadn't joined up with the group behind who caught me up after 5 holes of wandering about in frustration!
There are also a lot of blind holes and crossing fairways so make sure you go with a member or join up with someone on the tee.
It is a short course but there is quite a lot of trekking up and down hills, so be prepared with a light bag if carrying!
The course is crossed by several roads and walkers paths so I had a few long waits on the tee while waiting for a parties of school children to clear the fairway!
That said, the members were very friendly and the course is interesting, to say the least! It is a challenging test of golf -not for the novice golfer - as there are lots of gullies to carry, small spaces on the fairway to land the ball and small greens. A good challenge best for a skilled golfer who doesn't hit wayward tee shots!
