Playing this course for the first time, on a glorious September Saturday, with hardly any wind. Course was relatively quiet for such a nice sunny day. Interesting putting green, almost felt artificial. Some very interesting holes, plenty of red/yellow staked trouble, lots of pretty water hazards, many out of bounds! Green were in good condition considering time of year, and tees very nice to hit from. Lots of tuffty rough, hard to hit out from. Bunkers were in good condition however many were not raked, golfers ettiquitte aside, maybe the ground staff could prepare them better. Each hole had something a bit different , and I would certainly say the 11th and 12th holes were worth the green fee with spectacular views across Somerset. Overall, enjoyable course, testing fairways (narrow on many holes), and would definitely play there again, even though it's not a local course, on a sunny day.

Playing this course for the first time, I was exciting to take up a new challenge. Very windy on a sunny spring day, and winter conditions meant mud balls (and still plugging). Every hole had something different, with great views all around from an elevated position. The course is quite long for a non pro, very up and down (hilly). Green had been worked on so not perfect (sandy), but firm. Lots of water hazards and out of bounds makes for interesting decisions with shot selection. Pace of play could be a factor as lots of members playing in large groups. Thankfully we started on the 10th hole, and had it not been first time playing it would have been a fairly speedy round. Look forward to playing on a warm summers day with less wind and perfect greens, at a reasonable price.
