First positive to give this course is to the members and the staff. As soon as we arrived a couple of members started talking to us in the car park, giving us tips about the course, discussing other courses we had all played etc. Very friendly atmosphere. The staff in the shop were welcoming and helpful.

The course itself is really interesting, I went on a GPS app to look at the course and it looks quite boring from a bird's eye view. When you actually get there you can see how the landscape really makes you think about the majority of your shots. The majority of the Fairways were cut to a decent level and the majority of the greens rolled really well. We had steady raining throughout the round and had two / three days of heavy rain leading up to playing - the course handled the rain well and ball still rolled and bounced.

I feel slightly harsh giving the condition 3* as we have just left a lockdown but there were a few minor issues.
- some of the tees lacked grass, too much bare grass and old divots which made it hard to tee up in a desirable spot.
- the second issue was the divots in the fairway. Especially the 1st and 3rd. On the 3rd there was at least 30 divots in the fairway that had not been replaced, poor reflection on the players rather than the grounds team.
- some holes are slightly tricky to find, but small posts are dotted around the course.

Would definitely play this course again, already booked in for next week. Haven't played a course as enjoyable as this for the price bracket.
