ECLECTIC HOLES

This course has a selection of holes that you would find individually on many of Britain's better known courses and as we played remembered the likes of Woburn, Stoke Park and other interesting parkland courses.

Warner Leisure Hotels need to reinstate changing areas and a place for refreshments if visitors are to enjoy their visit and feel they have received value for money.

Great course

Considering the time of year the course was in very good condition. The hotel is having a complete refit which is taking 9 months so all that is open is the golf. Fabulous holes to play and some of the views are spectacular.

Half the course was in really poor condition

Firstly there is a lot of building work going on around the place, there was only a few parking places and these were full o had to park miles away in he workmen's car park. There were no catering unless you wanted to use the building site takeaway van. Then onto the course...... the first 5 holes were in great condition, greens were very quick. Then the next 8 holes were terrible,greens had been sanded and just left, was like putting across a bunker apart from the one bunker I ent in had no sand in it. The fairways were very heavy and just stopped the club head virtually dead making it play very very long. The are several holes where the walk from green to next tee are several hundred yards and the course lay feels like its just been shoehorned in around the estate and tried to make too many signature holes and to me just didn't work. Walked off after 13 just too frustrated with the poor condition

Great Course

Considering the amount if rain prior to our round the greens were phenomenal! Couple of the fairways were extremely wet and almost unplayable however the sheer enjoyment of the course layout, walk through some spectacular scenery and surprisingly challenging course. All made for an awesome round of golf! Definitely heading back in the summer!

Great course

The greens are really fast and hard to read which added to the challenge the down side not been there before so they need signposts between tees as not always clear

Stunning Greens

Set in stunning lands, the course has so much potential. Some beautiful holes and some awesome green complexes. A bit wet underfoot due to time of the year but the greens were stunning. They rolled like it was the middle of the summer, amazing!

Shame everything was shut down around the club for refurbishment as it just exaggerated the abandoned feel. Will defo return in the summer though.

Attractive parkland course.

Course looks great and is challenging (i.e. requires accuracy). Condition of fairways and greens was mostly good. Biggest downside is that there are quite long treks between greens and tees on quite a few of the holes. Found greens a bit slow compared to other local courses and a few bunkers had standing water in them.

Nice Course

Nice Course well maintained. But you need a trolley it's a long way and walking golfers hold up the trolley due to the gaps between the tees on the back nine.
