Superb greens

Under the drought conditions experienced this year having a receptive green was impressive and made for a very enjoyable round.. Really enjoyed the layout aswell. Bunkers were a little inconsistent. Overall under this years harsh conditions the course was in great shape. I will play there again next week.

Price reflects current condition

Nice layout, fairways holding up pretty well for a British winter, preferred lies needed both fairway/rough. Fairways soft as expected with some slight plugging now and then but generally for the time of year in South Wales could be 20x worse impressed how they’ve held. The greens are in shocking condition, majority being unputtable, now I am no green keeper but they may have some sort or disease, lots of dead patches with no grass. Bunkers were all GUR (no complaints) and winter mats in use for tee boxes, which cannot be helped so not the full experience. Would love to play it again once all the greens are back to their best condition and usual tee boxes are in use as I feel this could be a really tidy track in good nick.

Excellent

Played this a few times, the course was in GREAT GREAT condition. Some long testing par4s along with some other difficult holes.

Staff very welcoming and decent club house for a pint after.

Only negative was front9 where a 4 ball of females refused to let anyone through despite 2 group waiting every T box. And they were dreadful.

Nice layout but

A lovely parkland course, plenty to challenge all levels, but let down by slow and uneven greens.
