Bad booking time

I ended up getting stuck behind a youth tournament due to a poor option of tee time (might be golfnows issue?), unfortunately there was no opportunity to play through so I ended up having to skip five holes.

The course at self was pretty well maintained, greens were a little fuzzy in places but I would happily come back here I’ll play another round at around £15.

Unfriendly members and slow play

Played here just after the C19 lockdown ended. Course and greens were ok.

The problem with this course is the slow play. The majority of members are unfriendly and will make you feel like a visitor to 'their' course.

Pro shop is decent and well stocked which is a bonus.

Nice course but slow pace

Stuck behind a three ball that hadnt booked a tee time and snook in front of us. Course didnt have control on what groups were teing off.. Positions of tee boxes / greens promote slow play. General course conditions were good, but some ropey greens where they had been damaged by diesel apparently.
