Arrived at tee 9:50 for a 9:51 Start time because of a work phone meeting. Had been paired with a twosome that went off at 9:41 and the 9:51 tee time was already set as a foursome. Needed to drive to second hole to catch up to the group I was paired with. Similar experience last time I played here. Need to get To the tee before time or they Will start without you

Very friendly

First time playing this course. I was alone, so they paired me with a couple of other nice guys. Course was in very good condition. Greens were quite firm. Nice wide fairways. Plenty of ponds, but no difficult forced carry. Bar was closed due to covid 19 but looked nice. Very friendly staff! Will definitely play again.

Poke the Bear

The course is in great shape with very nice fairways and greens. Fun and fair layout. The staff was very friendly. Driving range and putting green just ok. Range balls purchased seperately. The only cons were no starter to get everyone going and a few rude old lady members who are too entitled. All in all a very fin place to play.

Fantastic course & great value

Great course. Some gorgeous holes on the back 9. Course was in great shape, particularly enjoyed the thick fringe. Greens rolled well except for a bump Par 3 17th green. Would love to play this course again.

Value for Money

Course in excellent condition. Picturerest setting. Greens good shape but slow at time of play. Golfer needs to be able to play multi slop shots.
