Jothughes

Terribly disappointing experience. The course could be great; long fairways, quite testing, scenic and varied. However it is cheap for a reason. The grass around peripheral areas is very overgrown ; and sadly the same is true for the fairways. I lost at least five balls hitting the ball straight up the fairway; the grass is so long you are playing your second shot from long grass even in the middle. Just neglect. Fairways aren't being mown. Complete waste of time; tore my card up after five holes. And it could be so good. No staff in clubhouse - no food available, The pace of play was awful. Only a few groups on the course. In front of us we had a pair sharing one golf bag, and in front of them a three ball. They clearly knew each other, and didn't mind a five hour round. Clearly never occurred to them to ask players through.(Clubhouse closed when we finished about 6.30pm. Crap experience.

Played in a 4 ball. Never held up and didn't need to let people through; good steady pace. Lucky it wasn't windy as this would be very tough in high winds. Greens true and clear. Staff friendly in pro shop and bar

A bit scruffier than it used to be, and a few years since I last played it. The holes are in a different order, probably the fourth variation that I have played over 25 years; it doesn't flow particularly naturally and we twice had to help people find the next hole. We have had a dry Spring and Summer (until August) and that shows; the tees and more especially the greens were really patchy. The fairways were pretty good though. We teed off at 7am on a bank holiday and finished 18 holes by 10.15. Unfortunately we weren't able to get a coffee or bacon butty before or after the round. Overall it was OK. An enjoyable course with some challenges. Needs some TLC really.
