Absolutely amazing

This is a course I've played many times both as a guest and a member and it is amazing.Peter(the owner) and his staff have got this course in fantastic condition. The tees are great, the fairways mown properly, the rough cut to the length were it punishes you but not too harshly. The greens are absolutely stunning and are beautifully manicured. The bunkers are amazing. This course is as good as or even better than some private courses and has some really challenging holes and also 3the price is great too.It played a bit slower today because people playing in the midweek competition but that didnt stop us having a great round. I would recommend everyone to play this course at least once because once you have played it you will return.A first class course at a first class price.⛳

Course was in great condition play can be a little slow in places but honestly think it was to be expected on such a nice day for British weather. Great course and value for money compared to others for similar money.

Such a change due to the dry weather. Played more like a links course. Greens were in fantastic condition & pace was consistent throughout. Think this is one of the most under rated courses in the area

Great condition for the time of year....tremendous value

Played here last summer in a heatwave. Snow in the air this time. We thought the course was in great condition given the time of year and recent weather, very few muddy areas, fairways looking well manicured, greens quick and true. The last week or two have clearly dried the course out, can't wait to play again over the coming months . Credit to the greenkeepers, this is a gem.

Played early morning. Course was in excellent condition. Greens ran brilliantly. Fairways great. Tee boxes great. Really enjoyable day. Guy in the pro shop on the morning was very abrupt and not very helpful but other than than. A great day. Will definitely be back.
