Great course, great value

Amazed to find a course designed by Colt MacKenzie the designer of Augusta at this price.

The course is a superb old style golf with huge trees including I heard the oldest monkey tree in Europe.

Long tough par fours were a real challenge.

The greens were super fast and the fairways in great shape.

Definitely, will play it again , no wonder the British Amateur was played there last year.

Nice course

Course was lovely but let down by some members playing extremely slow and without the decency or etiquette to let people through, even when they were a four ball, and there were two people in a buggy which had to skip holes to get round them.

Again, not the course to fault but it reflects if this is the members attitude.
