Slow play!

It was Senior Captains day so the course was very busy. However when some of the gents stopped for a refreshment they would not allow anyone else to play through. Shameful! Also the ladies tees need a bit of attention.other than that a lovely course and well maintained. Shame we couldn’t have dinner afterwards as the meals stopped at 5pm.

Excellent l!

Hospitality was second to none, the course was in great condition. Paired up with member Robert from the 12th hole and that made the day even better, learning about the area and the course. 3.1/2 hour round and a beer after. Would definitely recommend and no doubt be back!

Mansfield Boys On Tour

Stunning views of the bay and Sea

Interesting collection of holes

Covid raised holes could be better as they were ceramic/pot only an inch below the surface which caused a few putts to bounce out. Suggest sponge hole inserts at least a ball depth below to avoid bounce outs

Fantastic looking course well worth playing, very good test for your golf game

Great greens

Played just after lockdown 3, the course was in super condition particularly the greens which were outstanding. Tees could do with a bit of work, but on the whole a great day out.

Fantastic course

The course was great condition well layed out and beautiful scenery the course it's self is challenging enough to be enjoyable but not too tough. Plenty of free parking, nice club house which is reasonably priced and a well stocked pro shop. The only thing I would say is the pro didn't seem very chatty but that's not a major issue. There is plenty of practice space and I would happily book another round there if I was in the area again

Fabulous

I have played a lot of golf courses over the years including some of the highest ranked in Europe but this is the one I would pick if I could only choose one to play, can’t really say much more than that. Thank you Carlton Bay
