Great course and excellent value for money

Weather was excellent and the course was very well maintained.

Surprisingly, it was very quiet, given the weather.

There are some hills , but they were easily navigated with an electric trolley.

I did have difficulty in finding the 8th Tee which was not very well marked (it's the other side of the car park, past the driving range).

So all in a very enjoyable day out!

Excellent course, we will definitely be back

Bit of a last minute booking, not sure what to expect. Guy in shop very friendly and one of members gave us some pointers on first tee. We were really taken by the course, every hole was different and challenging, greens were excellent condition and fast. Didn't use clubhouse but course was excellent and we will be back. Hilly so be prepared but very very good

Brilliantly varied course

Really high standard course, I love the amount of variation in holes. You start out feeling like it’s a standard parkland course but there’s also some nice woodland holes and some where you feel you’re high on the moor. Also a nice mixture of par 3, 4, and 5s

Good course

Really nice set out and picturesque course. The greens were very fast when we played. One hole (heart attack hill) is a par 5 with an uphill walk and High gradient hill.

Some tricky holes really nice course

A very enjoyable challenging course

If you've never played here then your missing out. It's a challenging course with plenty of elevation changes. Very well designed course in a stunning, quite hidden location. Front nine is easier than the back which let's you find your swing. I'm tempted to join full membership I enjoyed it so much.

Walked

Great course and friendly staff in pro shop

The greens were in good condition and run true. The course was in good nick and it is quite challenging and quite hilly so you need to be in good shape to walk it. The staff in the pro shop was very friendly and made you feel very welcome. I never went into the clubhouse so I can’t comment on hospitality etc.

Golf Course review

Course was well maintained. First time playing there and didn't realise it was so hilly! Friendly staff. Great Course only issue was the tees were very close to the greens on certain holes but not sure this would bother me when I revisit this Course.
