Quiet course

As mentioned in a previous review although this is a pleasant very quiet course and ideal for someone taking up the game it seems ridiculous that as a 9’hole course you are unable to pay for 9! This makes it very expensive when picking up the game. Surely 9 holes should be an option as it is at a lot of other but not as suitable courses.

Hidden gem

First time playing this course and didn’t know what to expect due to mixed reviews. It’s a 9 hole course you play twice with some variations with the tee boxes on the second 9 which change the perspective of the hole nicely. Although a couple do remain the same. Overall I believe it’s great value for money, on the short side but made tricky with small greens and some lengthy par 3’s. Spoke to a couple of members very welcoming and helped us with some of the course layout, my only negative pick is there could be more/better signage directing to the next hole in some cases you have to use the road to access the next hole and it isn’t always that clear. Spoke to the gentleman behind the bar after (very friendly) he mentioned they have a new head green keeper which shows, the greens are in fantastic condition for the price point and very well kept fairways/run offs. Will definitely be returning, throughly enjoyed.

Useful course for beginner

I find it surprising that as it is a 9 hole course you are unable to book it as such I.e have to pay for 18!

I couldn’t mark staff as we didn’t see any!

I myself am a member at a course but am trying to encourage my young grandson.

Very confusing course due to playing same holes as a full 18. Not very well sign posted so many players were getting lost. Not very good value for money. I wouldn’t recommend playing as course conditions aren’t good, noisy with plenty of dog walkers & hikers. Much better courses around the area for less cost & better conditions.

Pleasant Course

I enjoyed the course layout, lovely atmosphere in club house, very welcoming. Don’t let the 9 hole course put you off. Each hole offers a new challenge and the greens are in excellent condition considering the time of year.

Good value for money.

Friendly people, quirky course

played on a gorgeous autumn day.

Found it difficult at times to see the flags as they were a bit faded and most were set against a background of trees and were in shade.

The layout was interesting and occasionally confusing as to the next tee direction.

The greens were small but receptive, the bunkers immaculately kept.

Members were really friendly.

Definitely worth the money!

Interesting short course

Great short 9 hole course with tree lined fairways.

Interesting approach challenges.

Course was quiet and was in good shape.

Could do with a more detailed course map and more 'next hole' signage. The bar was closed at then end of our round - shame as we would have had a few shandies!

Great little hidden gem

I have only played this course twice as a twig light golfer but I love it. There are so many quirky things to this course that test you as a golfer but also give you an awesome experience.

The third hole is a true highlight teeing off from a high perch up in the trees and dropping down to the pin below.

But it is almost unfair to pick that out as nearly all the holes have a certain character to them. (Except the 2nd - it seems to be my nemesis and my drives never land on the fairway).

Good course let down by poor maintenance

We lost several balls in what was supposed to be light rough just off the fairway. The light rough was covered in lots of grass clippings. And it was dense and not chopped down low enough. A couple of times, we knew exactly where the ball was but still couldn't find it in the grass.

We don't expect much for the low price but this was frustrating.

Apart from that, it's a great course for the cost.

perfect weather

great round with great weather. not another golfer on the course. As usual just did 9 holes which i think should be offered for £10, or at least a discount for over 65's. its a shame i have to wait until twilight to play , and even then its £15. A nine hole course should offer a nine hole price .

Otherwise all good.

What a gem

Please play this course, what a beauty. It’s an hour drive for us but we’ll with it. I rated staff down because we didn’t actually see any to review as you just park up and play. The 3rd hole is a stunner. Please everyone go play this course
