Course needs a bit more attention. Number of tee boxes in bad condition. Number of bunkers need sand

Great

Course was in great condition. Members a bit rude to guests. Course really needs bins around the place ball washer was rotten inside

Bunkers need sand. No reason to be the condition they are as there was tons of it around the greenkeepers hut

Not the best atm

Course is very very wet and mainly unplayable in the majority of places. Called it a day after only 6 holes. Would play again in the dryer months.

Nice course and friendly staff

Good friendly course and helpful friendly staff, pace of play was a bit slow due to people carrying golf bags rather than using a trolley which doesn't help on a fairly busy weekend.

A journey

This course has some challenging holes it's well laid out and tee boxes are easily found. This is long though and very hilly so pace yourself and maybe don't play another round the day before.

Not a great course

Course had 4 holes closed, charged £30 and didn’t find out about the holes closed until the day. Course was in terrible condition, should really have been closed

Pro shop closed and holes closed

I booked my round for 9am. Pro shop was closed so no scorecard for me. 5 holes on the course also closed due to the weather , I understand this but not being told before I started my round and still being charged for 18 holes is not acceptable. Overall bad experience- charged for 18 holes, only able to play 13 and no scorecard . I will not go again !

Bad course management

Lost about 10 balls each (a 3 ball) on either the fairway or first cut from plugged balls - the course was saturated. We needed waders to play there - should never have been allowed to play in that condition
