The course was generally in good condition, in particular the greens for the time of year and following recent inclement weather

Lovely course with everything you’d need.

First time playing here, course was great only problem we had was getting stuck behind a 4 ball that didn’t let us through for about 10 holes but can’t be helped! Will definitely play again!

Good value for money

The course is great value for money and offers many challenges including trees and water. The greens are decent, however some of the bunkers could do with more sand in. The weather slightly spoilt my experience during this visit as it rained constantly for 3 hours.

David review

course very flexible with tee time , very welcoming attitude by staff. very quiet so pace of play fantastic under 3 hours for 18, course is a good layout for friendly round of golf, wide fairways and course has a couple interesting dog legs but pretty much out in front of you which playing first time made it easier.

Fairways decent, greens played better than they looked which was good, they looked patchy and rough but were ok.

Overall for £20 great value

Friendly and straightforward course.

Husband and wife team simply enjoying a sunny afternoon playing golf. Everyone we encountered either in the car park or on the course were very friendly and welcoming.

Good value for money.

Enjoyed the course layout but watch out for the water!!

Interesting course. Great staff

Played here a few years ago. Decided to return. Was worth the drive from hull.

The course was very quiet mid week.

Greens staff very friendly. Stopped to let us play up etc.

The woman in the cafe was very friendly. Made a mean bacon egg and mushroom sandwich.

Shop was a tad under stocked but the guy was very chatty and helpful.

Course has some great feature holes. Greens accept a ball well and are well guarded by bunkers.

A lot of thinking holes off the tee too.

Will return soon.

Thanks galtres

Great Greens

Played the course a couple of times before. Course conditions were excellent. The greens in particular were the best I have seen in a good while. Receptive to spin but fast and true.

Great course (as a beginner)

Never played this course before. As a beginner, I did not find it too taxing although not without an adequate level of challenge.

Fairways are generally nice and wide. Bunkers were not deathly (I found two) and the greens were well kept, smooth and fast.

Good course and very friendly place

Played this course for the first time and found it very enjoyable and challenging. Pace of play was great and no-one behind us (played at 10.10am). Found the course and the people very charming and friendly, no grumpy members like at some courses. Got pestered by a few flies on a couple of the tees so would recommend some repellent. Overall it was a great experience.

Great Course - Don't understand why more people aren't on it

Fantastic Course. Dad and I went to play and had one of the best days of golf we've ever had! We came as the green fee is reasonable and it has an on site range (which is also very good). We didn't count on it being quite as good as it was though. The course is in very good nick and offers a really good challenge, however it is not super long or punitive. Every hole offers something different to think about and manage. The best bit from our perspective though was the pace of play. We didn't run up behind another group, nor had anyone up behind us, making it an even more enjoyable experience. All in all, I recommend this course highly.
