I've played this course about 4 or 5 times over the last couple of years, the condition is improving but as yet not to a high standard.
The layout of the course is nothing short of spectacular and really challenging. It will be a great pity but without a large investment it will probably close, so if you get the chance play this lovely course while you can.

A great layout, good interesting holes, condition poor to average compared to my home club. The one thing that really spoiled our day was the absolutely pathetic pace of play. the new rules allow only three minutes to look for a ball not ten as the group ahead took on the great par 5 third hole, We had to remind them that they were holding the whole course up, then they let us play through, only to catch up to another 3 ball that were just as slow.

I would love to give this course 5 stars, the condition for the time of year is very good. All the staff are professional and friendly. Now we come to the bad bit, Thursday is ladies day (an antiquated concept nowadays) our tee time placed us behind the lady captains three ball. Sorry to say this ladies but you were slow, slow and slower, a great pity really because, we would, under normal circumstances have been on our second pint long before it started raining.

This course was intended to be a proper golf course holding serious event. ,Sadly I believe the money ran out, the layout is second to none, condition wise, it just needs that final push to make it a great course.
I hope one of the major hotel chains comes in ,spends a few bob and puts it up there with the Carden Parks, Mere's etc. .In my opinion this is not going to happen and we may lose this course so full of potential.
