We arrived to discover that our tee time via Teeofftimes had not been confirmed on the golf clubs booking system. However the pro shop team found a way around that to allow us to tee off at roughly the allocated time. The only problem with the golf course was the varying conditions of the greens (some recently holotyned, others top dressed) which at this time of the year is totally acceptable given the price we paid. However 5 hours 40 mins for a 3 ball with just a 4 ball in front was not. Granted the golf club cannot be held entirely responsible for the behavior and lack of etiquette of a few if its customers however on a bitterley cold day the experience was ruined by a lack of authority on the course and spoilt by a group who clearly felt they were entitled to the course exclusively. I have played here previously without issue under similar circumstances so I wouldn't be put off returning with the fresh proviso that it could then turn out to be a very long day (including two extensive drives to the venue itself). A shame on this occasion but I'll look forward to writing a more positive review following my next visit.

In really decent nick now that the greens have evened out and well worth a visit.

Despite the course being frozen in parts for the first 5 holes and under a cloud of thick fog it was still evident that it was of the calibre expected of a first class facility such as this. The green were so true, rough fairly cut but punishing, tee blocks well cared for etc. The layout is extremely well thought out with variety on each hole and scoring opportunities in the right places. That said, the back is tougher than the front and caught me out a few times, the elevated greens really do play beyond their yardage. I'd definitely play again in the summer if not before.
