In need of love and attention.

Fairways and tees in shocking condition.

Divot and tees clearly not repaired in a very long time.

Glorified Pitch & Putt

First time playing here and would not come back. Dreadfully slow round behind 4 guys in football tops that did not let us through. Had locals behind hitting balls at us on the green. Blind shots on every single shot and zero grass on the tee boxes. Driver is not needed on this course, definitely feels like a longer pitch and putt rather than a golf course. Positives are the greens were in decent condition and the staff were friendly, although the locals behind us were not.

Great value shorter course

Played for the first time and will be back. Friendly staff in golf shop and clubhouse. Nice scenic course which is in general shorter than many but does have plenty of challenges to negotiate. However this course is very hilly as many holes alternate to down than back up so buggies may be needed. Course was somewhat scorched but so are many at the moment. Nice grrens but a little on the slow side. Also likely due to this dry spell and grass left longer. Also some crossovers green to tee but these are signposted. Overall this is a lovely little course with very reasonable green fees.

Tried something new!

Seen a good price for this course on GolfNow for £20. With the weather being sunny myself and a friend made the trip up. The course was immaculate. The run out from the tee shots helped loads. The greens were lightening quick.

Course is very hilly. I'd recommend a golf cart in hot temperatures.

Could do with a halfway house to restock on drinks. Once you leave the 1st tee, you dont return until the 17th.

Decent course.

Weather was great, course was in great condition. Short tricky course with plenty of dog legs. A few blind greens, not my favourite, but a course you could play with irons only. I'm a 13 handicap so use to using a wood. Remainder me of the lakes course at the Vale. Would recommend in this weather.

Little Gem

After a couple of wet days I played this course on a week day during the school Easter holidays.

It was great to see some youngsters out on the course while having a course update with an older member in the club house.

Lovely little set up offering a fair amount of variety. A couple of holes need a bit of work and fairways weren’t in great condition.

On the flip side the greens were super quick given the state of weather👏🏼

Greens superb

I have played this course many times and I find it fair and enjoyable. Weather leading up to the round extremely poor. Greens in great nick, fairways obviously struggling. New tee boxes added to the far end of the course which have been left and not finished since the summer.. This has really detracted from this part of the course. All in all the course was surprising good.

Not good.

Well, where do I begin.

First time playing here, it looked an amazing course and I was really looking forward to it, even the drive up to the main car park looking around it looked like a well maintained course. When I started to play -starting up on the hill- got to the bottom and it was absolutely bogging, I need to add there had been quite some rainfall before hand but during the day it was good weather, I know you can’t help that but some of the tees you step too you’d sink. I’ve played on a few courses around the area recently and with some rainfall before and during and none of the courses was as bad as this one. Also, unless you’re a constant player at this club, you would struggle finding the next tee, also the paths are like a flowing river and even the clear ones are uneven or muddy (not properly maintained) so It’s quite hard to navigate around.

To sum it up. I feel really disappointed to how the day went, I won’t return during the winter months nor would I recommend it to anyone but I’m going to give it a go when it’s been a week of nice weather.

A mixed bag all round

On the first Tee I was invited to join a 3 ball by a great bunch of guys (members), and we had a great round. We had an issue that a ladies comp decided to tee off early and take up my tee time and made the start off play extremely slow, luckily I had enough time free. There were two holes using temp greens, I assume due to the conditions, which was a shame but the rest of the course was in good condition. A good mix of holes with some right fairways in there.

definitely coming back here

having never been here before but knowing the topography of the area I was expecting a hilly course.

yes it has some ups and downs but in general it is easy walking.

the sign when we started out said "maintenance week" and we were told there were 2 temporary greens, but the greens seemed fine and the two temps were on short par 3's (11 and 12) that made little difference.

There is a lot to like here with tree lined fairways and well kept tees and greens given the hot summer we have had.

it is not a long course, there are not many long par 4's and only 1 par 5, but this made the course more playable with most holes reachable and achievable within my par.

the clubhouse facilities were good with adequate parking and a terrace overlooking the 18th green for a post match drink.

As Arnie said "I will be back" especially at £18 a round on golfpass.
