Disappointed with the greens!

Play the course on Thursday loved the fairways and the challenge of the holes but deeply disappointed over the quality of the greens. The need some work to be done if they’re gonna be playable during the summer!

Casual round

Unfortunately the greens had just had their spring renovation which spoilt the round. The course layout is a game of two halves. Front 9 being varied and up and down the back 9 being level and not as interesting.

Overall good

Very friendly welcome at reception. Clear and efficient. The course is a nice layout let down at this time of year by the boggy conditions and resulting issues on the greens. The good thing was there were no temporary greens in play.

Great find

Brilliant course in great condition - rapid greens and approaches and all round well maintained. Narrow track in places where one is rewarded for accuracy, making a round here more competitive. Staff were friendly and welcoming upon arrival. Most definitely worth a visit here.

Nice course slow play

Nice front 9 in under2 hours then several members started off the 10th which meant some holes had 4 separate groups on them. Not good.

Great course

The fairways are well attended. I felt the rough was a bit too rough.. The fairways are quite narrow with hidden gulleys and drainage ditches. There was a competition on which made play very slow. Overall very enjoyable course.

Staff were lovely and helpful and the few golfers I met on the course were very friendly.

Little Gem

Really enjoyable round at a lovely club.

It's probably not the most challenging course around but the undulations do make you think, and the greens and approaches are RAPID!

Lovely clubhouse which stays open well into the evening, a pleasant change from a lot of clubs in the area.
