Immaculate.

I've played here a few times over the years but this is the best condition I've seen the Dawson.

It was cheaper to book online with GN, than pay at the coarse.

Great course, strange layout

Some amazing hole’s particularly the 4th with the island green, some challenging holes also. Pro was very friendly as were other golfers on the course. Only slight downside is the tees seemed to be a bit scattered around but most were well signposted.

Fully recommend the course and looking forward to a return round

Great course

Course was in great condition green good if not a little hard but we are in a heat wave. With two courses at the same location this tends to reduce 4 ball after 4 ball and my round was at a really good pace. Really enjoyed the course.

Dawson course

lovely course, very enjoyable round. Only downside was an impatient single golfer who was extremely impatient. I simply stood aside too let him through rather than get flustered

Dawson Course

The course was very wet, the ball would not bounce and the course for me should not have been open! Driving was a waste of time as any shot hit your ball would not bounce or run on as it the fairways had not much grass on them and it was just mud! When I’ve played these courses before they have been very good but this was a waste of time.
