Great course in winter

Great course only criticism would be the half way house. For a place so nice it should come with a great halfway house and unfortunately it was vending machines

Fantastic condition

I’ve played this course a few times now and it never disappoints. The course layout is fantastic. It boasts the perfect combination of great views challenging holes and just enough water to make you think about your shot . The fairways are in great condition, the greens quick and true . Probably the 5th or 6th time playing this course. Will definitely be back

Amazing design and fun course to play. Greens were not in great condition and pro shop staff were pretty miserable. Cart path only not mentioned when paying over £40 for a buggy was disappointing also

Perfect weather

Great course, greens need cutting.

Grabbed a bargain round at the lake course for just £22.52. The course is generally in good condition with good fairways and offers both a challenge and opportunities to score well on some holes.

Mostly temporary tees which you would expect for this time of year. My only gripe would be the conditions of the greens. Whilst they look good and green, they could do with cutting and nearly all greens were bobbly and not running true.

Needs some love

The course has been used and abused and there are many areas of the facilities that need improvement. Second time there, would only consider again for a cheap deal

Great course, but get out early or wait until the evening

I played as a one ball and whilst let through by two groups, became stuck behind a society of 32. 8 4 balls would be too much. Course Marshall did his best to hurry them along but he gave me a better route to play I could get all the holes in without waiting.

Not ideal and those in the pro shop could have warned.

Stunning course however.
