Not a bad course

Booked through the app but qhen i arriced rge pro shop was inside the clubhouse which needed a code to be accessed and the pro shop was closed. As such i missed my scheduled tee time as i qas umable to find anyone. Eventually asked a member who let me into clubhouse and spoke to the chef who said all tee times were booked and i would have to go out between groups. I therefore had no scorecard and had to ask a group of members if i could go out in front of them, thankfully they agreed. Course itself was fine, some rather small greens so there accuracy is essential. Would play again in the summer, only hole i wasnt keen on was a blind teeshot over a hill onto a shared fairway running horizontal to the hole you are playing which seems a little dangerous.

Friendly course

Certainly a course for anyone needing to gain confidence around the course. The fairways and rough are forgiving but there is a lot of leaves on the course to hide your ball if it goes astray.(this genuinely happened my friend)

The shared green between 8/12 and fairways of 10/12 are a little peculiar but are only an issue for a long hitter.

Mr graeme esdale

The club had there annual pros day on which meant we were 20 min late to tee off, had to wait every single hole sometimes with 8 people on tee so never got to finish round due to lack of light ,would love to play again though obviously in normal pace of play conditions.
