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.
Good course
Great value for money, good mix of difficulty for beginners and intermediates, some challenging holes, would play again for sure
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
Short but challenging.
Even though it's not a long course, it's challenging. Greens played well considering amount of rain over last couple of days.
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.
