Won’t play again
Short of a windmill and a rubber ball this is posh crazy Golf!!
Course layout is a joke. Some holes are simply unplayable. Greens were in poor condition. Shouting and swearing all over the course. Golf can be hard enough.
I certainly wouldn’t want to come back and go through that again.
Lovely little 18 hole
Thoroughly enjoyed it lovely little 18 in very good condition went early didn't see anyone else until about 6 holes in although very busy as we were finishing and for £13 on a Saturday very good value
Good fun
Shorter course than most but challenging. Really enjoy playing this course. First time I played this ciurs3 I had 5 birdies, played twice since and not been so lucky which to me makes it a challenge, staff in pro shop and bar top class, polite and extremely helpful.
Sapphire course
Awful condition. Regardless of the weather conditions on the day, which were poor, the Sapphire course is not well looked after at all. Fairways need cutting, tee boxes and around the tee boxes are woeful. Land in any bunker and you may as well drop out. Pointless taking a shot out the bunkers as they were full of leaves, stones and the sand looked like it hadn’t been raked in weeks. The greens were bang average but were probably the best part of the course which says it all really. Would I recommend it to a high handicapper looking at improving their game...???? No chance!!! How the course is now, It would destroy their confidence. £11 for the round.... The state it’s in now, it’s not even worth £11!!!!!
Value for money
Played this course probarbly 6 times in 3 years.greens run nicely if a bit small in my opinion.fairways well maintained and ruff not to long.need to be straight on a few holes as a lot of trees and water.thoroughly enjoyed round with my dad who is new to golf at 67.a bit hilly for him as name suggests maybe a buggy next time.doesnt drain to well as we have had a dry summer but rained the day before i played and was very wet in places.
Great value for money
This was an absolute bargain .£10 on a Sunday morning is fantastic ..course in perfect condition .greens were brilliant ..all round nice course n a gud pint after
We have played this course several times since and have always been well chuffed
Booked the sapphire course, but changed to the emerald instead. The staff were very helpful.. The greens were a little slow and bobbly.. But its a beautiful course and we had a great day.. Highly recommended
Had to play Emerald
Brilliant day afain despite the previous weeks heavy rain. This is a great place for a corporate event. Loads of bedrooms and.pool etc.
