Very enjoyable

Brilliant course, loved it, one of the best parkland courses in the Midlands.

Greens, fairways and tee boxes are all very well kept. Green staff are all very friendly and welcome you with a small wave.

A challenging course, with rolling hills, few water hazards and bunkers dotted around the course.

Halfway toilet was a welcome surprise.

Food and drink options are excellent in the onsite bar/restaurant with friendly staff

Winter golf

Winter golf is obviously a lot different to summer golf but this course should be closed and should not be charging money!

The tee boxes are not in play and either are the greens !

The course has the flag 60-80 yards away from the green on the fairways which is disgraceful!

I have played this course three times before and was a decent course but they should not be charging and taken peoples money !

enjoyable 3 ball

I played 18 holes with my 2 sons, one a 15 year old 18 handicapper who relishes new courses to test himself, the course is laden with tree lined fairways, so any pull left or right could be punished very easily. The greens were immaculate and fairways very good. Most fairways were reachable even for short hitters like myself. I would have no hesitation in playing their again. Didn't get to try out food or hospitality after round.
