First time playing this course

First time Iv played this course, I found the course excellent, only down fall is we came across some young kids just wondering around on the holes playing which we had to tell them to move, but everyone’s been a kid before so it didn’t phase me much, saying that my golf buddy left his phone on the bench on the 4th hole while we was waiting to tee off, he didn’t realise untill the 17th tee so he ran back and guess what the little kids had handed it to the golfers behind saying they was going to the club house to hand it in, made our day,

Overall the course was really good and we ended up in the club house having a few pints watching the footie

Perfect day out

Decent but have to carry a rake

We were a four ball who play 2/3 times a week. Upon arrival the staff were very welcoming and the tee times were running on time. Course was nice, members were friendly and greens were mostly nice, they had a good pace but some areas were very boggy. Bunkers had plenty of sand in them. My biggest gripe was that you have to carry a rake around with you. I hate that, there should be a rake in every bunker. For some this is a minor issue but for us it’s a deal breaker and we won’t be returning.

Not for the faint hearted!

Gave this course a great review - which it deserves for many reasons - but wouldn’t play it again or recommend to a friend simply because I found it far too difficult to manage the steep hills on just about every hole. Due to its location - a lot of the flags you were playing blind - even half way up the fairway you still couldn’t see where the green was - which is fine for one or two holes - but this and the overall terrain was just too much for my old bones!

Well maintained course with lovely views (the plus side of the hilly terrain) so well worth a go if you fancy a challenge!

Course nicely laid out

We all enjoyed playing this course with many interesting holes. I know we played in January so therefore there were three winter greens ( shame) . Hope to go back in the summer when course is fully open.

I noticed all members and golf shop personnel were very friendly and helpful and the sandwich and drink in the clubhouse was very reasonable after playing with the staff being very quick. Looks a nice place for a meal.

Overall a very pleasant day.
