Excellent greens

An interesting and forgiving course. Not too heavily penalised for going off the fairway. Some lovely holes. Well worth playing.

Really bad designed course.

This was are first and last time playing here. Hit the fairway and balls would bounce into the ruff and trees. No signage for the next tee, so wondering around like lost puppies. Quite a dangerous course due to it's layout. Not impressed.

Lovely little course but very slow play

Really enjoyed the course; it’s kept very well with some quirky holes, it’s very score able. The 4 ball in front of us were terrible though; teed over late; never let us through even though we were waiting at every tee box, swaggering like they were on an LA beach in there own little world! Had to come off after hole 14 as my 4 hour window had elapsed and kids needed picking up! I’d definitely go back but would not play behind those 4 gnomes again!

Excellent & challenging course.

First time playing this course and the staff were very helpful on arrival. The course is quite hilly and a good challenge for competent golfers. We did get mixed up on the tees once or twice, so advisable to check the map. Condition of fairways & greens were excellent and in places the wind came into play. Would definitely play this course again.
