Repair your pitch marks

This was a nice course but very dry and sandy. Greens were a bit potted due to lack of of care by players not repairing pitch marks. This course has bags of potential. Some lovely holes near the water but none of them actually go over the water. Some quirky holes and some little tough holes with loads of bunkers guarding the hole. The staff were very nice and I would like to play this again some time.

Unexpected gem

Give the low price and lots of tee times available, I didn’t expect much. However, I couldn’t have been more impressed. A beautiful course in rolling countryside. Some really interesting and challenging holes. The other negative was the greens were quite slow and unpredictable, but they were receptive so that was a positive.Lovely friendly staff, nice food, and while the clubhouse isn’t luxurious, it does what you need it to. I’ve paid much more for worse courses. I willl definitely return

Great Course

Played this Course as a 2 Ball.

The Starter was a great fella and even helped my friend look for his sliced tee shot!

We were early to the tee so had a chance to meet several members, what a funny and friendly bunch !!

Course layout was very interesting, especially the back 9.

After we finished we had good food up in the clubhouse, also a lot of the members asked if we enjoyed etc.

keep up the great work. 👍👍

Ps. Nearly forgot, the gentleman running the halfway house was also a very welcoming fella 👍

We will be back! ⛳️⛳️👌👌👌

Good friendly course

Had a really nice round here was easy to book. Staff were friendly as were all the other players I came across on the course. Course was very easily to navigate with good signage to direct you from the green to the next tee. Course was in a good condition. I do consider the green fee a little steep for the standard of the course but not extortionate and overall I really enjoyed the round and will definitely be returning

Great Course with friendly staff

Overall a great course in good condition. Carts to rent and was allowed to tee off slightly earlier by the friendly staff member who went out his way to show me where to go and what to do. He was excellent. Would recommend!

Nice course

Not the first time where I’ve booked and been caught behind a social tournament at this gaff.

That being said course was in really good nick and the greens were amazing considering the winter we had.

Always loved the layout of this course.

Nice people on the way round the course but there are members who look at you like you’re not welcome, act like you haven’t paid a green fee.

Would recommend
