Potential
Lovely layout some serious plotting holes
Greens need a good bit of care good in places but terrible in others
all in all you can see the work going in will take time the potential is massive
Be careful not to price yourself out of the game
challenging features
Hadn't played course for some time and so had forgotten how difficult it can be!
Interesting course with numerous hazards and features which can catch out the unwary, particularly if you have not played there before. Need to be on your game to score well and high handicappers can be punished if not accurate.
A good test of your all round game.
Lots of fun
The coarse has been laid out fantastically! A really good design and probably one of the best that I've played so far. If only it had the care it deserves.
I felt that the coarse had been allowed to get in to a worse state than was acceptable. Even though it had been dry for a good few weeks, there was plenty of water there in the ponds which makes me think that the greens, which were at this point only half alive, had large areas of bumpy, dry soil where grass used to be and were clearly not being cared for properly, could really do with a new set of sprinklers. I personally would love to see the greens get the attention they deserve. It is obvious that there was a lot of money spent on the coarse when it was built.
A few of the bunkers were also looking quite in need of a little tlc.
Overall I would say it really should be on everyones list of coarses played/to play. The staff were friendly and willing to give advice. The atmosphere was friendly and regulars were quite happy to help or let you play through.
I will play there again and I am actively encouraging my friends to go too. Please don't let the state of greens put you off. It is only a small part of the coarse after all and the getting to them is the best bit anyway.
I hope you all go and enjoy it as much as I did.
Disgustingly slow play
Played on a Saturday at 12.42. Staff were very friendly. However, walked off after 12 holes as there was two large societies playing. Won't go back, should ask for a refund
Far too expesnive
Not worth £35 when you can play pine ridge for the same money and it's far far superior
Really enjoyable.
Very testing and enjoyable course. Greens need a bit of work but very much playable. Worth a visit!
One of the worst courses I've played
What can I say £35 for greens that looked like they had just had a park run on them...I won't say any more as I'll give myself tourettes.
Fun and challenging course
Played for the first time Twisted Stone (old Traditions). The club is now under new management and they are working hard to make it better. The course is fun and challenging. Lots of water and hidden fairways (need to aim at the barber poles). Par 5 and 3 are really good. The greens are somehow dry but playable. The tees also need some more maintenance. But anyway still a good course and will definitively repeat.
Tired
The course is in need of some money spent on it. The greens admittedly had just had work done on them, but bearing in mind this is the May Day bank holiday weekend, the course should be in good condition to play - especially at the prices being charged
Value for money
Slightly run down and old fashioned club house, but made to feel welcome.
Not the best kept course, rather scruffy in parts. However a challenging course with some interesting features. I had a beautiful shot to the 6th green (I think), heading for the pin, only to hit the over head power lines. Nice par 3 10th over water.
Good pace of play, with a four ahead of me allowing me through, with a waive and some banter.
On arrival pro shop locked up We could find no member of staff anywhere.Could not register or get score cards just went over to 1st tee.Much of course was like a swamp, pathways were potholed full of water .Bunkers were terrible.Impression was of a course with no maintenance although greens were not too bad.
It's a lake at the moment but will be a course i will play once the water has gone.
