For the price it’s perfect

The course needs a bit more sign posting for hole playing and maybe a bit of work on tea boxes. Really really impressed with 17/18 of the greens but the other is under construction of some kind. Really good course Maintenance from green keepers and would happily pay again for the price. Fantastic

Great value

Yes, it's only a municipal, and yes it usually gets a bad rep for a couple of reasons....but for the green fee amount (£13) its great value.

Like most municipals, certain things could be improved (such as tee boxes & bunkers), but the greens were in great nick for the time of year (and on any course, they are the most important)!

You could spend 2-3 times as much elsewhere and would probably not get the same value for money.

Shaping up well

Great condition for a course that was boggy in winter. Greens and fairway great. Course can do with a club house but for its cost was good round of golf.

Poor golf experience

Course was in bad condition which for the price and time of year I don’t mind too much. Worse thing about this course is the amount of dog walkers on it. The pace of play was slow anyway but when there’s more dog walkers than golfers on there, your never gonna have a good experience. Also there was a man riding round on a push bike across fairways with a few clubs in his hand. He was stopping on different holes an playing shots. He also had a dog. They clearly don’t really care much about golfers having a good experience on this course. Will not be playing here again even though it’s local..

Great course. Very boggy back 9

This course has a good track, greens are in good shape, several areas are very boggy with ball plugging common even on the fairway

New club facilities look great and staff very helpful

Disappointed

On arrival only 9 holes available as 9 too wet to play. Holes 1 and 2 were very boggy and really should haven't been open they were that wet. The remaining 7 holes were ok but the tees were a quagmire and the course really should have been closed. The course could take a long time to recover from the damage of remaining open. When the course dries out I will return as it is a decent course.

Terrible conditions

Played here many times before, but the course is in a state now, straight off on the first tee was struggling to walk with all the mud and scutch, greens was terrible not looked after atall! The course was only playing 9 holes instead of playing the full 18 over the bridge which wasn't stated on here. Somebody had been chipping/driving off the greens!!!! Also the same person I'm guessing smashed a hole to pieces, the hole was none existing. Absolutely terrible and has put me off the place for good. Play elsewhere this course is shocking

Winter golf

The course was a bit wet in places but no winter tees and the greens were very good. Can’t wait to play it again in the spring

Tee off times far to close arrived at 10.20 to tee off at 10.35 eventually teed off at 10.50 as there wa queue all waiting to tee off. Suppose municipal golf courses try squeeze as many people in as possible but spoilt the morning

Value for the money

A great course for any level of golfer, well kept fairways and average to good greens.Should be better and more clearer signs for where the next holes are, a 1st time player here would really struggle .
