Great greens and tees - average in between.

The course is fairly straightforward, in fact many of the holes seem very similar in length and construction. The greens were in excellent condition and quite fast enough for somebody just out from winter in the UK. But.....almost all greens are raised up about 8 to 10 feet above fairway level with a bunker left and right so not a lot of variety.

As we were a two-ball the starter put us out on the B nine which gave us a clear run to play the nine holes in around 90 minutes. Unfortunately, we started the A nine just behind a 4 ball so that was more like 2 hours with a wait on every shot.

The staff were all very friendly and we enjoyed our day but it wouldn't be top of our must plays in the area.

Pleasantly surprised

This course was a terrific value for the money. The greens were in excellent condition. The fairways and tees were in good condition, especially for this time of year. The staff was friendly and helpful. Had a nice lunch at the Grill, which was also a good value. Look forward to playing it again soon.

Repairs disrupted play

Normally I like the course and his layout. Major repair work is disrupting the course and it’s playing ability. Fairways are bare And the greens are very spotty. Won’t play there again until spring.
