Very enjoyable round on a course that is all about positional play and would be even better the 2nd time around. If I was to play it again I would definitely want a buggy due to some steep fairways.

First visit to this course, absolutely enjoyed the course and the views across the area, all holes made you think were you needed to place your shot, greens protected with bunkers, definitely coming back to this place, great value for money.

No pitch and putt here. Not overly long but miss a fairway at your peril. Some very interesting holes. My only slight complaint would be that the greens where very firm and it was very difficult to stop your ball especially on the slopey ones. Having said that it has been very dry of late. Maybe someone playing better than I did would have more chance. Overall well worth the green fee.

The course was in excellent condition, greens were good too!

The pace of play was generally good however we did get held up behind a society but that can happen anywhere. It didn’t detract from our enjoyment.

I would recommend playing here without hesitation and look forward to playing it again soo !

Course is a challenging layout. The greens do let the course down though. Not always true, bare patches and annoying bobbles. That said, it’s great value.

Have been playing all over the region the last couple of years and can honestly say this is the best course we've encountered. Beautiful looking , excellently manicured , brilliant staff and a real joy to play .

Course was in great condition and the pace of play excellent but despite walking off the course before 17:00 we were very disappointed that the bar was closed so we were unable to get a drink and something to est which spolit the overall experience.

We play here regularly but the pace of play is becoming unbearable. It took 4.5 hours to get round (in a 2 ball) because there were horribly slow players, taking more than one ball at times, ahead.

Could you let players know, in the clubhouse, to keep pace please and perhaps a gentle reminder of the etiquette of letting a 2 ball play through on arrival?

The starter could do this on the 1st tee.

Played this course for a second time after really enjoying the course the first time with some great looking and challenging holes. However, it took over 3 hours to get through 9 the second time playing. We played as a 2 ball and were due to tee off at 2.44pm, didn’t leave the first tee until 3.05pm due to 3 groups in front of us all of which didn’t let us play through until the 9th after having to ask them (despite our pace of play being a lot faster than theirs). Really disappointed so ended up walking off the course as it wasn’t enjoyable waiting 10/15 mins on each tee box. A real shame as the course layout was great and enjoyable the first time round but if we had carried on we would have been looking at at least a 6 hour round and probably towards the end would have been battling against the light! Unsure if the course had too many people on or whether it was poor tee time management but very disappointed and now put off playing here again!!! Did try to complain but the pro shop was closed when we returned to the club house!

I have played the course several and I have always found the course in good condition. The bunkers were wet from the recent rainfall, but the overall condition was very good.

The course has that many blind shots that makes it playing it for the first time quite a challenge and if you combine that with the elevation changes then it’s a pretty tough round. There are some stunning views around the course, just wish we had found a sunny day to enjoy it.

Beautiful layout beautiful course only reason for 4 star on the condition was it was very wet but that can't be helped definitely worth the money get yourself down here you won't be disappointed

Really enjoyed this course, it was our 3rd round of the week and definitely the best course we played in the area. It cost £60 with a buggy but well worth it, the GPS in the buggy was great, really helped you plot your way around the course, it was quite hilly so recommend the buggy.

Lots of memorable holes, course in top condition, will be back to play again.
