Lovely course

Very enjoyable round of golf. Staff friendly and welcoming as were the other golfers. Course in very good condition despite the recent poor weather. Greens were excellent. The course is challenging, suiting straight hitters!! Pace of play was quite slow as we were following a competition. However the overall experience was very good.

Would definitely play there again and recommend to others.

Excellent Venue with great staff

The course is great with some thinking on lay up shots with some fairways sloping left to right etc. whilst reasonably busy pace of play was excellent. the food and beverage is excellent with a great choice and very reasonably priced. First time visit for my playing partner who enthused about the excellent course and at a fantastic price.

Great experience

Played this on a day off from work using the hot deal so paid £18. Well worth the money, great course with great get greens. Only my 3rd time playing golf again for a long time and the course was exciting whilst still being fairly straight forward, would definitely recommend! The weather was awful for me from the 14th onwards but still had a class time!

Challenging Golf

The course was in great condition

Lots of slopes and some of the greens were quite tricky so made for a challenging game but very enjoyable

The holes weren’t too long and some of the par 4’s seemed quite short to me but i liked this

The pro shop was friendly and nice clubhouse where we sat in very comfy chairs on the patio overlooking the 18th

Plenty of parking as an overflow field
