Long Slog
Booked a 3 ball tee on arrival was told a single player had been added to our tee time, that was ok was great lad young lad called Mark. But course was heaving didn’t quite get off on time but struggled all way round course with waiting on each tee for players in front due to how busy it was so round took 4.5 hrs to get round, it was a Saturday I surpose. Still well worth £10 each. Great value from GolfNow
