A lovely afternoon

Hadn't played for a while, so this course was ideal in fantastic conditions. Very quiet, so could play at my own pace, and had a really enjoyable afternoon. All the staff and people I came across were very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to going back soon.

Lovely course

Greeted by nice friendly members in car park and had a chat. As I went in the golf shop I was welcomed with my name, and given a quick overview of the course an play for the day. The course was in really good condition for this time of the year, no wet or boggy areas and greens played fast and consistent. Excellent views of the coast and surrounding areas. Went into club house for a drink post round again welcomed by staff. Will definitely be back

Consistently excellent course

I’ve played several times at this course and it has always been immaculate. A very fair course with some challenging par 4 holes. The greens are always in great condition. There are some top views both north and south up and down the coast. The members are also very friendly which can’t be said for all clubs.
