Used to play fishwick sometimes as a kid was nice to go back, I prefer the front 9 to the back, the front 9 is more parkland style, the back 9 is more hilly and linksey.
I like the way fishwick seems anti-snobbery, it's a working mans golf club, but with hardly any of the drawbacks, it doesn't drain the best, in fact it drains poorly despite efforts to improve, the putting greens a joke it has holes with no flags and holds water.
Also the scorecards don't have a map and distances which always annoys me, although there seems to be very few courses which actually do.
And finally it borders several public footpaths and a couple of rough estates, so flags get pinched a lot (they use pvc pipe for several holes) and they sometimes get walk ons of the black shellsuit variety.
But everything considered I'd have no problem in joining or paying a green fee.

Nice, picturesque course, plays very well in wet conditions no boggy areas anywhere, bunkers and greens are immaculate. Only criticisms I can think of are it's a very straight course probably would'nt offer too much of a challenge to a low handicapper, it's very hilly with sloping fairwairs, although it is built on a hill.

As is with all hotel courses so well kept, green-keeping, general course condition, tees all immaculate. Comfortably one of the best courses I've played, a wet day meant certain slippery, boggy areas in lowland but overall the drainage is very good, nice little snack bar on the 11th tee.
Only criticism I can think of is the par 5's aren't really driving holes, they dogleg before driver carry range so 4 iron layups about the only option, I suppose it's made like that to be more of challenge though, will be playing again.

Really like this course, bit of a drive to it but there's something I really like about courses next to the sea, the winter holes get muddled up so you have to pay attention to the signs, also you cannot play off the fairway at this time of year.
As with all course choices in winter I play courses that don't have drainage issues or very minimal, that strokes 80 percent of courses out, knott end seems to drain really well apart from 2 or 3 holes, can't wait to play it in summer.
