Waste of money

Was originally excited to play this course, until we got there. First thing we noticed as visitors, was a sign saying only members can use the practice putting green and dressing rooms. Not very welcoming for visitors who are paying money to play. We were willing to over look that but what was waiting on the course was worse. Every fairway was covered in pebble stones. It was like a dump truck drove through and off loaded truck loads of pebbles , gravel and sand. Unplayable fairways after a long drive and money spent just isn’t okay. You should warn people about the state of your course before they waste money and time they’ll never get back. The most annoying thing was the fairway rubble scuffed and scratch my balls and more importantly my clubs.

Avoid

The fairways are literally made up of some grass and lots of gravel and sand. More so bits of gravel, that will scratch your clubs and balls. Impossible to play on, feels like you’re hitting off stones most of the time. Awful .. Avoid.

Save your money

Dreadful waste of money playing this course. What used to be a good course is in such a poor condition. You are better off putting in the carpark than on the surfaces they are calling greens. Wouldn't be worth €20 never mind the €50 they are charging.
