Fairways

Staff excellent

Greens very good

Fairways AWFUL too many ruts and bumps not so easy to see where your ball has landed

Fairways very rough VERY uncomfortable if one had to have a buggy and also a trolley to manage

Overall OK would be great if somehow I repeat somehow the ruts could be ironed out !!! Would then make it into a very nice course

The pizzas are great !!

E reality like this course.

Though we like it, it’sa shame you can’t just pay and play 9 holes.

Also, my own fault, but I booked on the par 3 by mistake then booked the correct one. I can’t seem to find where I get a refund of golf now

So busy!

Tee’d off on the 1st tee where we quickly caught up with a very slow 2 ball who actually took our reserved tee time. Refused to acknowledge that we were waiting on every tee for upto 10 mins and didnt let us play through. Had to skip 2 holes to get in front of them (course was clear ahead of them), meaning only playing 7 holes on the front 9. Came around to the 10th tee with a 4 ball about to tee off! Explained to them that we were playing through, which was fine. Got around the corner on the 10th and the course was badly backed up because of people starting on the 10th. Had to walk off due to the extreme slow play. Asked for a partial refund as paid for 18 holes but could only play 8 holes. I was completely refused a refund with the guy at reception saying that there was nothing they could do despite blatantly letting people tee off the 10th causing a major delay to people playing from the 1st. There was a marshall on the 1st tee checking tee times etc, but absolutely no one checking on the 10th!

May golf

We played at the May half term and the course was in a great condition. Probably the best I've seen it. Although it was busy, but this was expected. The club house was good and outside seating area was well laid out.

Needs more regular maintenance

Heard good and bad things about this course in the past but wanted to play it anyway. I think the course layout is really good with some challenging holes, however, the fairways were basically rough as they hadn’t been trimmed for quite a few days. I think if it was cut more regularly it would be a really enjoyable course.
