Good, not great

Friendly staff. Quaint, not modern. toilets in men’s locker room we’re not working properly.

Of course had a few beautiful holes, but many that looked just alike.

Greens were recently aerated and not in great condition.

We had a couple of younger guys hit into us inappropriately, as if a warning shot. We played in three hours and 46 minutes.

Overall, I would recommend it when the greens are in better shape

Good course but in decline

The course design and facilities are as good as any in Waterford however the condition, maintenance and up keep of the course could be a lot better.

Some tee boxes are very overgrown, fairways were long and uncut on some holes but the greens were in good condition.

This was on a Saturday in August and the course was busy so expected it to be better looked after. I have heard from some long time members that the course has gone downhill recently since new ownership has taken over.

This is a shame as the location and course layout is excellent.

Bang Bang

Lovely course but the clay pigeon shooting noise was very annoying. Walking down the first the banging started and continued for most of the round.

Lower your expectations

We were very disappointed and very sad to see what has become of this once magnificent golf course. The fairways have not had proper treatment for a long time and lack care, the grass is too long for fairways. The bunkers are not in play which we were not told as guests. Paying over 40 per round and no bunkers???Tee boxes and signage need a lick of paint or in some cases need to be removed due to their condition.

To describe WC as tired is not accurate. It now resembles a patch job which is a shame; its patched up and lacking TLC / investment- Nice people working there.
