I played the course on a sunny October day. My first visit, the very helpful chap in the pro shop gave me a quick guide to where everything was. There is a practice net, a short game area and a putting green: the toilets are conveniently situated at the back of the clubhouse and accessible before you tee off at the 10th.

The course layout was easy to follow and the course was in good condition. There is as a bit of run on the fairways, if you managed to find them and there was enough variety of downhill, uphill and flat to keep you interested. The greens were true and consistent- I enjoyed putting on them.

However, the one major negative was the pace of play, I had a two ball in front of me and another two ball in front of them: the front pair obviously didn’t have a clue about course etiquette and spent the whole round taking several drives off every tee, leaving their bags/trolley in front of the green (which they had to retrieve after putting) and just not having any clue about what they were doing or having any awareness of their speed of play or how it affected everyone behind them. I enjoyed the course but not the experience: I would recommend playing here if you are in the area: but check to see how busy it is first!!

We played the course early morning, as it is very popular. The course is always presented in beautiful condition, it presents a good challenge for golfers of all abilities and the greens especially require your full attention. We enjoyed a very warm welcome from staff and members alike.
