We played this course on a sunday, and it was very busy, waiting a few minutes at each tee box. However the course was in excellent condition, all the greens apart from the last (work looks to be getting done on the green so part of it was cordoned off) were in good condition. Really good layout with a mix of shorter holes on the front 9 and then some longer holes on the back 9. Would definately play again.

I am really not one for leaving negative reviews of courses or nitpicking little things, but I was so disappointed with this course that I felt I had to. After looking at the pictures and reviews I was looking forward to playing here. However the fairways on a lot of the holes were not even worth calling fairways, as my garden is in better condition. They were like the rough, full of patches of clover and weeds, and just not well kept in the slightest. There were a few signs around apologising for the condition and appearance of the fairways, but to be honest it would have been nice to have that information before booking, so you dont waste your money. It is the height of summer, and you expect nice manicured fairways, but they were not even close, to the stage you just couldnt play decent golf on them. The water hazards were either just full of reeds of just looked mucky and green. Some of the greens were in pretty poor condition and they seemed to be inconsistent, some were receptive and then the one after would just run through despite playing the same shot. The bunkers in general were abysmal, some didnt have rakes, some looked like they hadnt been raked for weeks, one even had a discarded cigarette butt in the middle of it. They had also filled in some of the bunkers on the 18th hole, which were now just grass mounds. We were stuck behind a 3 ball that played so slowly, each of them taking 8-10 shots a hole, and they didnt let us through until the 10th, which made for a 4 hour 15 minute round for 2 people.

If we hadnt paid decent money to play round there, we would have probably given up after 9 holes. I would honestly recommend avoiding this course until they start taking better care of it. There are plenty of courses nearby which are looked after and kept to better standard, so go play one of them, I wouldnt play here again for free in the current condition.

Although on the approach it looks like the course might be very hilly and a tough walk, its relatively flat and not too long. With stunning views from pretty much every hole and a well kept little course, it was a very enjoyable round. The only issue was 2 of the greens, 14 and 15 I think were in shocking condition, it looked as though maybe animals had trampled them or something else was wrong with them, but it didnt really detract from the overall quality and condition of the course which was very good.

A fantastic experience to play at this little gem. Right from the start, the pro in the shop was very welcoming and friendly, offering advice and information without waiting to be asked, and it felt as though he was passionate about the course, which is always a good sign. The course was in very good condition, even though there was preferred lies in play, which was not necessary at all. The greens were like carpets, super quick but easy to get the pace of pretty quickly, and the views from the course were amazing. The one thing to note was that early morning the course seemed to be very busy, so you had to keep up with play. It seemed to be a lot quieter on the first few holes as we finished at lunch time, but it looked as though from 7 - 11 it was all booked up. That is in no way negative, just maybe a helpful tip to those who like to play when its a little quieter.

This really was a lovely course to play with a very challenging start, having a tough opening 4 holes. Fairways and greens in great condition. Staff and members that we met were friendly and helpful. The only slight negative was that sometimes there wasnt much in the way of signposts to help you find the next tee easily. Highly recommended course with stunning views and challenging golf.
