Fairway needs cut.

The fairways were a disgrace. Even at this price you need to cut fairway and greens. This used to be a good little course. Also shorten the rough it's not the US Open. This will appear play up.

A little work and it could be a lovely course.

Disappointed ☹️

Don’t know how good/bad the course plays as we were not allowed on with trolleys and we were not informed about this beforehand and none of us had carry straps, wasted hour drive to get to course

Greenkeeper needed

Bunkers all seeded over and unplayable, "fairways" more like the rough on a well maintained course. Greens in poor condition. In desperate need of some attention from a decent green keeper before it's too late.

Frustrating round

Booking didn’t mean a thing walk ins were allowed to take our tee time and then proceeded to hold up the whole course while a toddler hit some shots. £4.20 booking fee to Golfnow wasted money. The two adult players also played more than one ball each.

Totally inconsiderate to everyone one else. Several players behind us walked off. Some marshalling needed by staff. Most frustrating round of golf I’ve ever had. I know it’s a municipal course but some supervision needed!!

The course was very soft

The course was very soft and the cut grass could have been lifted. The new course areas if the ball entered these areas it was extremely hard to find.,

Good practice course

Unless you want to practice putting, course is fine but the greens are

Unplayable I don’t think that this course has any kind of green management at all.
