Best Iv played!!
Fantastic course *****
I played this course in October and I must say the greens were the best Iv played all season second to Wimslow GC!!
Finding the next tee box can be tricky and isn't well sign posted but that's my only problem with the course. Everything else is perfect including the staff who are very welcoming!

I don't normally leave reviews but for this course, it well deserves it.
Driving up to the manor house in its surroundings can be a little daunting, however, the golf pro was extremely friendly and engaging which put us at ease.
Course was just as described. A fair amount of tough, moderate and "easy" holes allowed for a great balance.
Course was in superb condition and we will definitely be back!!

Wonderful layout
This was the second time played and just as enjoyable . Lovely course with some very challenging holes . We walked around and towards the end felt the effects of its length - clocking around 6.5 miles in total . Condition was excellent with outstanding greens and some great design features . Food was also good and prices reasonable .
Overall a really nice experience and one which will be repeated .
