Beautiful course and a friendly reception

This is a really lovely course, with an interesting layout. My wife & I played here twice while on holiday in the Isle of Wight. Some other reviewers had commented that the members were not friendly. We found everybody to be very friendly and welcoming.

We will definitely play here again next time we visit the Isle of Wight

A couple of temporary greens and half the tees were mats which is not bad for mid Jan. Spiking was in progress but a few greens affected. Very friendly pro shop and bar staff. Relatively short course with a few challenging holes.

Grumpy Members

Felt like a good experience arriving at the club, Pro and club house staff were very friendly. Although we were early for our tee time we were encouraged to play when we were ready, Unfortunately we then bumped into some very grumpy members on the first tee who were less than welcoming. This spoiled an otherwise enjoyable experience

A special place

It was a scorching hot afternoon in July and this was a fabulous course. It's like it shouldn't really exist The holes were all so interesting and each one with it's own character, I loved this place just wonderful. Hats off to the greens staff who even had the fairways looking great eveb with no rain for weeks. The chap in the pro shop was really welcoming and even though I left my wallet and phones he came and found me. Great club lovely people... just a gorgeous place.
