Could be better

I played today and the staff were nice and friendly. I was stuck behind two 2 balls and the first pair were painfully slow and didn't let anyone through.

Pros:
Fairways were in very good order
Fairways were very tight and a challenge to find
Bunkers were full of nice fluffy sand
Friendly staff
Cheap enough at £16 for single player

Cons:
Greens looked liked they had taken a beating - people who play here don't seem to know how to repair their divots!
Bunkers were not raked by players who had been in them
Bunkers had grass and weeds growing in them
There is plenty of spare space so I don't understand why the greens and tee boxes are on top of each other on many of the holes

Mixed feelings

There is no doubt this course is top class.

I chose this course to play as one review said 'no winter tees or greens'...17 out of 18 holes were winter tees. Pretty disappointed.

What really got my back up is the location of some of the winter tees which spoilt the round for me. I shortened one hole by 200 yards walking to the winter tee...whats the point?! Some par three tees were completely different parts of the holes as well.

Wouldn't recommend playing when off winter tees as the location of them totally compromises the par of the course.

I imagine it is flawless in the summer though and I will return when not playing from winter tees.

Playing on 29th Oct the ground was wet but still very playable.

Oh, and it is very hilly which I didn't mind but for some people you may want to get a buggy.
