My 1 star relates to an incident which occurred during a round. Played here on Tuesday 22nd September. My playing partner had an unfortunate incident where he drove his tee shot too close to players in front of us. They were at least 300 yards in front of us and it was the 'drive of a lifetime'. When we reached the green my playing partner walked over to apologise and a situation developed where a member of the golf club started shouting at us using terms like "ARE YOU MEMBERS' plus "I WILL ENSURE THAT YOU NEVER PLAY AT THIS CLUB AGAIN' plus other condescending terms. This member made his complaint about us at the 'Pro Shop' and we spoke to a member of their staff, who was calm and professional. Seeing us speaking to the member of staff the member came back over to re-escalate the situation, probably playing to the gallery of people enjoying the sunshine on the terrace. I have played this course a number of times and my playing partner was a member himself until he moved house. I have never had any issues with this club and can only say that in the cold light of day that this person was one of life's sad cases who wish to impose his perported superiority of being a member of the club on mere visitors. This is a great course to play but please do not make a mistake or be human as you will be shouted at !

The general standard of the fairways was poor due to either a lack of rain or lack of watering. The greens weren’t in the best condition either and needed work. The journey from the 9th to the 10th needed to be signed better as this was a long walk and not having played the course before was confusing at times.
