Despite giving up after 10 holes due to the terribly slow pace of play, I loved this course and definitely will be back. Quite different from what you might expect of a course so close to the sea. Has a parkland feel albeit with quite a bit of water to contend with. Greens were in terrific condition for the time of year as were the tee boxes. Holes were a good challenge for a high handicapper. Look forward to my next visit when there aren't belligerent old boys playing at a snail's pace!

Padeswood is in great condition with excellent greens that run true. There are some holes that are a bit dull in the middle of the round and the pace was very slow when I played but spoke to someone else who said it hadn't been too bad previously so maybe a one off. Overall, would recommend

Beautiful golf course, a treat to play. Condition is immaculate and a fair test of all abilities

The round was cheap at £12 but even at that price, it's not value for money. Whilst the course has some interesting holes, it's scruffy and poorly kept. The greens are terrible and many have large cracks and craters. I nearly twisted my ankle walking to the 4th due a hole that was disguised with heavy rough. Just play the Emerald - even if it's a lot more expensive.

Played a couple of times over the summer so far and it's a fun course and a great test certainly for beginners/intermediates. The greens are immaculate - only slight criticism is that the tee boxes can be a bit scruffy at times. Overall though, an excellent course.
