Challenging but fair

Great green conditions. Course in good condition overall. For a Saturday with 2 large societies and Comp day the pace was fair. A first time player thoroughly enjoyed the invite and will return.

Top notch golf all round

A fantastic venue with a full range, short game and putting practice are that is as well kept as the main greens,

The course is stunning with pleanty of features and unique holes. I would highly recommend a round here, we played after a solid day of rain the day before and the course had drained excellently too.

One of the best in the area.

Really like this course, good mix of holes and although challenging it’s fair, greens always good, fairways and tee boxes mostly good. Great signature hole the 17th.

Can be busy and rounds can take a while but the club recognises this and tries to remind members/ players to speed up!

Good clubhouse too.

Excellent course

Great condition, greens and fairways were excellent, interesting holes too. Quite hilly and some long holes but we all agreed it was a course we'd love to play again.

Enjoyable Round

Course was in good condition for the time of year and considering the recent bad weather played well.

Greens was smooth and surprisingly quick for March

Pace of play was steady but being a 2 ball on a Sunday was expected. Overall Enjoyable Round and will be back

Great course played many times before the course was in great condition but was disappointed that all greens were temp green’s because of a frost the ground was soft under foot so didn’t see the issue with not using the greens also there was no mention of this but the person on reception on arrival

Great conditions

The course was well maintained. Bunkers were neat with lots of sand. One of the best courses I have played during the winter months.

Great Course But…

As much as I love this course, we arrived to find out it was 18 temporary greens. I understand that this is why the course plays so well in Spring/ Summer but there was no information listed on the website showing that it’s all temporary greens which was a little frustrating even for the price we paid. There were several 2 balls in front of us and as much as I appreciate they were seniors, the pace of play was pretty dismal and we were waiting on every tee box for quite a while which does make the golf a little less fun.

Other than that, the course played fantastic as always. I highly rate this place and I will definitely be returning (once full course is in play).

One of the best courses/landscape in Nottinghamshire

Only thing I was disappointed with was the winter greens. Will be back in the summer for sure. Always enjoy coming back to play.
