I Recommend This Course
Lovely and enjoyable
Quite scenic and very enjoy place to have some golf fun. Starts you off gently but more challenges as the day progresses. Would recommend a buggy as course is fairly king and somewhat hilly in parts. All in all, a fabulous day out!!

Always check for maintenance work!
Played the Palmerston today on the recommendation of Brocket Hall ( green maintenance on the Melbourne). No mention that at least six of the fairways on the Palmerstion were being tyned, leaving large areas of mud clods and mud pellets. At one stage they actually tyned a fairway as we played it! We played £90+ each for the priviledge of being subjected to an experience that not even my local council course would impose upon its players.
Next time we treat ourselves it won't be at Brocket Hall
