A challenging course

First nine a bit of an Everest assault, back nine less so. Challenging throughout as built on the side of a hill. Some nice par 3's , plenty of water and well guarded greens. Several blind holes, one had marker post for drive, and a second marker post for second shot. We lost quite a few balls. Greens were superb.
You need to be fit for this course

A Brilliant Course

Our Society played here for the first time. The course, and the clubhouse are very impressive, the views are spectacular.
There isn't anything to fault, except the bar closes early 7pm.

Bland and Uninspiring

Course condition was fine, it's a shame it is such a boring featureless course.
It is only worth playing if there is a HOT deal

Brilliant course but new holes now being constructed

I missed the message on the club website that 6 holes, are now closed as under reconstruction. ( no.s 6 to 11 inclusive.) This perhaps explains previous posts complaining about some poor holes.
Of the holes open, the course was in great condition, and the greens were FANTASTIC !!!
So, over the winter of 2022/23 it is a 12-hole course and priced accordingly. I can't wait to play all 18 holes in 2023.

Greens in excellent condition

Always a pleasure to play , its a reasonably challenging course, the long last three holes make it a bit tiring. Greens in superb condition.
Only gripe, a three ball ahead slowing everyone by individually putting out on every green. On a long par 5 they were on the green taking ages, a single player waiting to play on to the green, a two ball waiting to play their second shot and a four ball arriving on the tee

A course under renovation in parts

This is an unusual course, quite American in style, significant dog legs, one a total right angle, The disappointing feature was the tees were very wet and slippy. If they want to protect the tees as they need to, why aren't there mats to stand on ?. Tip if it has been raining for a few days leave well alone. Probably after a dry summer spell this will be ( eg 2/3 years time ) quite a good challenging course. We shall be back in 2024

Quality course, but ridiculous bottleneck

We had a really enjoyable round, apart from the bottleneck of the 11th hole and 12th tee. This should be a call forward tee, Change the rules so that players moving to the 12th , allow players to play their first shots to the par3 11th, then those on the 12th drive off. When we played there were four different groups all queueing at the 11th tee box. Ridiculous, all because the group in front of us hunted for at least one ball on every hole, and some of this group were members !!!!!!!!!!

A well laid out course, a little boggy on the fringes, but we have had a very wet month. We enjoyed the course, friendly club members

Very Impressed

First time played, had read reports of boggy conditions, and following very wet month of May , feared the worst. The course was dry , in excellent conditions and very good greens. Holes are long, plenty of dog legs, make good use of streams and ponds. It was windy and we noticed the trees growth were wind affected. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and blown away by the superb club house. Highly recommended

Excellent 9 holer

We booked this as an 18 hole course, but it turned out to be 9 holes, with 18 Tees. Though some of the front 9 tees were a matter of feet away from the back 9 tees in the same tee box. There were a handful where they differed sufficiently to be considered a different hole to the front 9. There is land available for genuine 18 differing tee boxes. That said we really enjoyed this course, it is a good tester , beautiful layout and scenery. 4x Par 5's, 10x Par 4's, 4x Par 3's Very friendly club, and what seems like a very good focus on developing youngsters. Highly recommended

Excellent Course

We played a fourball, the pace was good, no hold ups. Greens in excellent condition. It was a dry day with a cold wind. I think it will be lovely when we return in the summer. A hilly but well laid out course, not for lovers of flat courses

Quality course

The course might be a bit hilly for some. It is a fair challenge. Unfortunately the course was quite wet in places following several days of heavy rain, I suspect it might not drain too well in certain areas in winter. A bit surprised we were allowed to use our trolleys. Scenic , well laid out course. Friendly staff and members

Pleasant Course

We found the course quite forgiving, greens in excellent condition. We enjoyed ourselves, but they was no wow factor to cause us to rush back
