Hidden Gem

Well maintained course that has a lot of challenges around both halves of the course. Some of the tee boxes are more sand than grass but that’s about the only downside. Greens were fast and flat. For the fees it was a great price and will be back again

Local gem

First time playing this course since COVID and couldn't have picked a better day to do so.

Good pace of play and I got to team up with two club members who kept me right for the front 9 - big thank you for Rosie and Gary for your advice on course management and good company.

Conditions were perfect and I hope to be back again soon.

Friendly Vibe.

Really enjoyed my experience.

Was met by a very friendly couple Karla and Simon who invited me to play along with them which I did.

Only played 9 holes as I’m only getting back out again after several years break.

Still managed to muster a few nice shots that pleased me very much.

Will be a great course after a few weeks of drier weather and a fair challenge to any level golfer!.

Will return again very soon 🏌🏻‍♂️👍

Surprisingly good greens

Not noted on golfnow but the course is restricted to 9 holes for the winter.

The greens are in surprisingly good condition for the time of year, currently playing off mats not the fairway which youd expect this time of year. Very soft in places.
