Course in poor condition
Bearing in mind that the green feed were £18 each this very poor value for money!
The course was generally in a poor condition & the greens were shocking!
They were very bumpy having just been spiked & some were bare in places
I would not recommend this course & will not play there again!

Enjoyable and Relaxed Day Out
Considering the recent weather the course was surprisingly dry and the greens were good. This is not a course for the serious competitive golfer but more for beginners, intermediates and seniors. I played with my father in law and he really enjoyed it as there was no pressure on him and he found the course enjoyable for his standard.
The welcome was very friendly and it had a very well stocked shop. We really enjoyed the back nine and the finishing hole really is a test!
Will definitely be back in the spring for another go.
