Cheap but poor greens

What you don't know when you book was the reason it was cheap was that the greens had been topsoiled which were told when we arrived. Even if they weren't topsoiled they were in a pretty poor condition generally.

The rest of the course was very nice and the greens were improved we would come back.

Terrible greens

Could be a really good course with varied hole layouts and some nice water features, but the greens were virtually unplayable, really uneven and covered in sand patches, some looked like they had been vandalised, not a mention of this when we checked in?

Very Enjoyable

For 25 handicappers this was a very enjoyable round. Fair fairways but lots of water. Greens had been hollow tined but were still ok and quite fast. Had a couple of pints and a lovely fry up in the quaint clubhouse after,

Greens are horrific

Went out at 7.38am, and had nobody in front of us that we could see, so we controlled the pace of the play.

I get greens need maintenance on them, but every hole we played had been worked on, and were covered in sand, which made putting almost impossible.

Played here a few time last year, but at £25 a round, with greens like this, I'll be playing at other courses on the Golf Now app

All proper tees and greens

Despite the time of year all the tees were grass (no mats) and all the greens were open (no temporaries.

2 fairways were a bit marshy in places but overall things were good.

The staff are lovely and the ham, egg & chips excellent!

Nice course but probably best left until Spring

First time I've played here. I enjoyed it. The layout is good and it represents good value for money. However, several of the fairways were very muddy. The greens held up very well. I'll play here again but not in the winter

Slow Pace

Very slow pace with multiple 4 balls stacked up, 18 holes took 5 hours and lost sunlight at the end. Handful of golfers behind us walked off.

Poor management by the golf club… only after the £££

Great Value

Course is always in good condition and although quite flat has a number of holes with water to add a degree of difficulty.

Pace is generally good but one complaint is the presence of dog's and dog walkers who wander around oblivious to golfers trying to play.

Big improvement

When I played the course earlier on the year it was a bit sad. The greens and bunkers were not the best. Roll on a few months and the course is so much better. The clubhouse is under going a transformation and the whole place is looking up I assume because of the new owner.

Great course

Overall this is a great course. It was cut well, maintained & overall just feels nice.

A change to the toilets and some signs to the actual pro shop/club house would be nice (they share the land and you have to walk around the back of a gym/restaurant. But overall a great round.

Great course for all types of players

My first time playing this course, my friend had played the course before. The greens were well maintained and the staff were friendly as well. The course has some interesting features , bunkers and ponds ! that will challenge your game. The speed of play on our visit was also good on the day.
