Complete Joke

Due to a senior ladies match going on and us being told there was no chance we were allowed to pressure them or play through them our round for a 2 ball took 5 hours.

A complaint to the pro shop brought no joy, its as if they didn't care about us as we were visitors to the course.

I will NEVER play this course again !!!

Nice course, weird layout, terrible pace of play

The course is in a beautiful setting and has the potential to be a great golf course, however it is let down by its layout which is unfortunately spread either side of the a34. The transition from the 8th to 9th to 10th holes with long walks in between completely break the rhythm of the round. In addition, I hope it’s just because it was bank holiday Friday, but the pace of play was dreadful. It took 4 hours to get through 12 holes today, which is simply unacceptable and you lose rhythm as a result making the course less enjoyable than it should be.

Challenging Course Suited to the Better Golfer

This is a championships length course of high quality particularly for a commercial operation. The holes are varied and challenging with excellent greens for this time of year. It can get very heavy, significantly increasing the length, but dries quickly. There are several long walks from green to tee, this plus the many slopes and inclines means a buggy is essential for older, more physically challenged players

It is probably more suitable to lower handicappers capable of striking the ball a decent distance from the tee, but for anyone with a half decent game it is highly recommended.

The staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating and there’s an excellent Half-Way House facility with a call-up on the 9th tee for pre-ordering of hot food, that is good value for money.

I’ll try it again in the summer, with a bit of run on the ball, giving me a chance of playing closer to my handicap.

Well worth a try!

Great Round

Course was in great condition and was a real test with lots of interesting holes. You also had some wonderful views which enhanced the experience.

Everybody at the club were very helpful and we had a good time.

I would recommend this course as one to play and myself and playing partners will be back soon.

Great place to play golf

Prepare to be challenged, physically and technically.

Played here for the 1st time in 20 years, and was looking forward to a challenge. A big estate and be prepared for a walk especially if not using a buggy. Disappointed that the halfway house had closed early as could have done with a sausage roll for the challenge of the long par 5 10th.

A very long course off the white tee but the fairway was running fast and hard, which was well burnt after the long dry spell. Greens in good condition and challenging pin positions, (don't go past the flag on the 1st).

We normally go round our course in 3hrs 20min, took an extra 1hr due to the long walks between some holes.

Will play again soon.
