Pricey and busy.

£32 for a buggy which is ridiculous! I have rented buggies nearly half the price with GPS on and a lot more to offer. Pace of play was so slow as it was too busy and no one to marshall it, didnt manage to get the full 18 in and was playing for nearly 5 hours.

Course is good, greens very patchy and bumpy but still run but needs work on.

mr Farmer

got a "hot deal" from golf now which gave us a excellent value for money round of golf mid week. The course was in good condition and the greens were very good considering the previous 2 days downpour we had. Nice variety of holes with plenty of fairway to play with, not too hilly so the 6,000 yds + was not to tiring.

all in all we will be back again with the next "hot deal".

October golf

Played on the 18 hole course early October and it was a very good experience. The fairways are well maintained and the green are smooth. I also liked the club house.

Windy weather

I could not find the course,I roamed about for three hours,the roads were as bad as my

The traffic was horrendous roadworks all over the place which contributed to my missing my tee off time so I did not play.

Nice course, good test, fairly fast greens.

I've played this course a few times with my son who is a beginner, the course is good for a player who is starting out, giving a tadge of space on tee shots but also demanding more accurate shots to the greens.

Signage

Really enjoyed playing this course. It’s really quiet as there are few roads nearby. Some interesting holes.

My only criticism really is the complete absence of directional signage.

A few hundred pounds and it’ll be sorted!

Nice but quite slow

Course in good condition throughout- greens slightly slow but understandable as course recovers from recent maintenance.

Only issue really was an incredibly slow group of 4 players who had at least 4 emtpty holes in front of them, we were a three with a single in front of us and he didn’t get past them until after the ninth when I assumed the fourball gave up as they’d run out of balls or the will to carry on.

Decent course

Enjoyed the course but the pace of play was slow.

We all have to start playing golf sometime but being honest a couple of the four balls should be on the academy course. They looked like they had never picked up a club before. We managed to get through them but they has taken 90 minutes for 4 holes.

Sorry but that is ridiculous.

Greens covered in sand was like putting on a beach . Ruined experience

Have played at this course before and it was excellent . Booked again based on that experience but was extremely disappointed that the greens had been sanded so much that it was impossible to putt .

No mention of this on the golf now app as if known we wouldn’t have wasted our money or time in travelling to this course .
