Unique course

It’s a bit odd walking under the outer barriers and crossing a race track to get to the course in the middle but it’s ok... it’s a young course with the back 9 much better than the front 9.

The front 9 looks very young and a bit sparse but the back 9 is great.... the 17th with the raised green and false front is a killer, if it was dry then miss the front and you could well roll back 50/60 yards! Oh but don’t go long as the 18th tee is directly behind it!

Not a bad course, however I got 2 “speeding tickets” at 6:30am on the same road, same morning on route doing 34 in a 30 so be VERY careful!

A Game Of Two Halves

Cracking conditions for golf, greens were great, fairways and rough very fair, tees needed a little attention but eminently enjoyable round. Front nine inside race track had enough to it to keep you thinking with well designed hazards on most holes. Back nine felt quite different but again required careful plotting to avoid trouble on most holes. I really enjoyed this visit, will definitely be back again. Tremendous value golf but a little surprised clubhouse and so had both closed by 5pm finish on Saturday afternoon.

Nice interesting course with some testing holes . Quite a tight course with some narrow holes, and some good water hazards to avoid.

Impressive!

Not going to lie, when you arrive & are told the Front 9 are inside a racetrack you expect a few short par 4s and then par 3s but was amazed by the Front 9! There’s water, trees & everything! Back 9 is completely different going into the woods. Not the longest course but a few right fairways and small greens will punish wayward shots. 17th green is a challenge!

Great condition - greens were lovely - and great value for money in my opinion.

A course of 2 halves

The first 9 holes is inside the rails of the racecourse with open fairways and a few tricky holes with water hazards. The second 9 holes are through a wooded area away from the course. Overall a good mix of holes and would suite all standard of players.

Good availability, different layout

Overall to get availability at a course anywhere currently it was good, challenging enough for people who play regular but forgiving enough for beginners.

Greens needed some work but overall good day out and would recommend to experience
