Greens were in fantastic condition considering there had been a lot of rain. Temporary tees were fine, looking forward to playing it again in the summer.

Excellent course with lots of interesting holes

Played The Lakes course on the second day of our two day break.

Much easier that the National Course and much prettier.

Holes much shorter but certainly need to think about placing your shots as lots of dog legs.

Water comes into play quite a bit, especially on the par 4 12th, when you need to get as close as you can to play over the lake to the green, which is also protected at the back by bunkers!

Took a buggy, but like the National course often buggy track was a long way from the ball.

I think there had been alot of rain in South Wales before we played so the greens were slow.

Scored pretty well and we were not held up at all.

A very enjoyable course and excellent facilities.

Better than I remember it.

the course was in good condition, greens were slippery but also soft enough to get some bite. Played early and pace was quick. Shorter than I remember.

Great course for mid handicappers

Great condition. Clever layout, to make your life easy you have to smart with ball positioning and approach play, but not brutally difficult. Fairly short course. Lovely setting with great restaurant, practice facilities and friendly staff. The hot deals here are well worth it
