A pleasure to play

Very hot day, course in very good condition, especially greens. I wanted to play off whites but advised an upcoming comp so not a problem. Shortish course but every hole challenging especially the par 3s.

Played here several times, always a joy to play here and always made to feel welcome

Strange that people playing 9 holes play the first 4 and then jump in on the 14th and delay those players playing a full 18.

Challenging on the legs

Course is short with little need to pull out the driver. A few blind shots where you need to trust your yardage on club selected.

Uphill start for first 4 holes then levels off. Greens are small but reasonable condition.

We played at 8.30am and only saw one other group on the course.

Blowing a gale

Course in very good condition. Pace of play a little slow but was able to enjoy the unseasonably warm November conditions. Always a good test of golf. Recommended.
