Great Course

Fantastic course with lots of challenges on every single hole. The section around the turn are some of the best holes I have played anywhere - 9, 10 and 11 will test your nerve and endanger your scorecard!

The 18th is a finishing hole that could easily wreck your day. Two ponds to clear on your approach to the green, tempts you to go for it, but be sensible and lay up!

Enjoyed the day playing with three friends, top course.

Nice n tight

Love this place … always makes you think about your shots , course is tight but also rewarding … played here now 6 times and every round has been very slow , so if you want a quick round this is not a course for you but if not in a rush this is a brill course to play …

A great course

I am a high handicap retiree and I play 2 times a week at various local courses. I think this is the best one I have played so far. Tricky but interesting. Got a net 82 which I was pleased with. Loved the holes with the water hazards. The two guys in the club shop were very welcoming and informative. I I’ll b back. My playing partners lost a few balls but I wouldn’t let that put you off. I hit most fairways and only lost one in the middle of a lake. Highly recommended course

Mid afternoon Friday

Played this in a two ball, ridiculously slow play. Almost 5 hour with a buggy, course in good condition, some bunkers unplayable but overall after lack of rain good condition.

Great course but very hard for a first round after lockdown!

The course was in really good condition. We were a 2 ball and the pace of play was generally good with only a short wait on each tee.

The course is very tight and you need to be very accurate off the tea. Any shot off line is a chip out sideways from trees.

It was a shame the bar wasnt open after the round although it was the first day that this was allowed (after lockdown).

Would deffinitely play again but once the swing is back.

I would suggest keeping the driver in the bag on most holes.

Absolute gem of a course

Fantastic course. Not a bad hole , and I ised every club in my bag.

Every hole tests your game. Straight driving is very important, and the courses a proper test of all of your game.

The final.three holes are a great finish, with the par 5 18th a memorable finale.. Cannot wait to go back now that I know the exact layout.

Something for everyone

Good course can be a bit tight at times but game management is key

Decent fairways with plenty of trees to find and good greens make for an enjoyable round of golf

Clubhouse needs serious update however you don’t play golf in there

Challenge Accepted

Wow. 30mph winds. Tight fairways with densely wooded roughs. This is a very challenging course, but brilliantly thought out and designed. Im a long hitter that likes a bit of forgiveness either side. Not found here. Forced me to rethink my game right down to iron selection off the tee. A very enjoyable and challenging experience. Beautiful par 3s, a couple dog legs here and there and an 18th that will make or break your round. Wonderful.
