First Time Playing

Wasn’t aware we were playing 9 hole loop

First of all we are 1st time golfers. We thought we were paying for 18 holes but on arrival we were told it was a sporadic 9 hole loop as they were working on course. The holes we did play were quite challenging but we enjoyed them.

Just a pity the whole course wasn’t available to play.

I’m sure when it is all up and running it is a nice course but possibly a bit challenging for beginners.

Lovely little course

Played a 9 hole loop due to the condition but was very enjoyable. The staff were friendly with a nice clubhouse and bar. Greens in good condition despite of the recent bad wether. Would definitely play again.

Much improved

I hadn't played here for years and wasn't expecting too much. However, I was very pleasantly surprised - there are some really interesting and testing holes. It was very wet underfoot but still definitely playable. Will certainly return.

Pretty Average course

After over 5 years I was really hoping this course had improved since I last played. It's a real shame as it's in such a great setting. The greens are quite tricky to hit your approach into and have lots of tiers. The main issue is that they don't hold so a rewarding approach shot rolls off the back almost every time. It was very slow on the day as well. I think I might give it another 5 years.

Great ‘challenging’ course

A fantastic course for the decent amateur who needs a wide fairway and loves some beautiful scenery.
