Tee d off 7 O clock Easter Sunday Morning and Had the Course to myself. Birds were still in full Voice. Bit of a Chill Wind. The Clubhouse looks awesome, We Stayed overnight in the Carpark (Motorhome) and The Clubhouse was busy with Members and a Society i think. Nice Set Up.
Some Great Holes on the course and in Nice Condition. The Green Keepers were already out cutting Grass and making the course Great for the Day, You can see its well looked after. Some nice Lay up Holes you have to think about rather than just belt it long for the Big Hitters. Well recommended and would come back, even Join if i were to live Local.

Think i picked the perfect day, Sun was shining, Flask in Bag, Off i went, Was told only 4 people on the course and i teed off around 11, and no one due on for over an hour so place to myself really. Staff said they never get busy midweek. 1st Hole up a big hill and first 9 you are playing on the side of that hill but they have done well levelling it off so every drive doesnt kick off to one side. Great views of the Estuary from the Top. Some really hard holes 200yd par 3 and to carry a wee Burn! 250yd par 4, easy you think but right angle dog leg and if you dont get the first shot right, blocked out for the second. Course in Great condition for April, Would defo come back in Summer if im Passing.

Played the course on a Monday morning i think when the seniors comp was on, got to the tee on time but being that time of year the green keeping staff were intent on giving the green a good going over whilst i was waiting. In the mean time 6 or so members decide to walk up immediately behind me and look disapprovingly at the time. Prior to this the young lad in the club shop did suggest i could jump to 10 if it got busy on the tee. Green staff still doing work and 10 minutes behind and still not teed off so off i toddle to 10. Didnt wanna upset the members.
ruined 10 and 11 still frustrated, calmed myself, had a brew starting playing and hit a couple of pars, Birdie chances started coming, Fairways in nice nic considering it was march, Greens had been treated for winter so no new growth yet. very sandy and no putts ran true but overall you can tell it was well looked after. So i finish 18 and get to the first, Lo & behold im slap bang in the middle of a ladies comp, back to being frustrated again (never good for golf) few choice words said but they eventually let me in front of a group of 2 which one of the ladies says "you better not slow us down" i smile and gratefully tee off biting my lip. played the first 9 really, nice layout, get your drives away should get a decent chance of hitting the par 4 greens in 2. I enjoyed it when i wasnt Rushed, so think it is a popular & Busy Course. Nice view of the village.
