Less than perfect

Played this course many times, very nice course - but without knowing in advance, the greens were all heavily and unevenly sanded. This may have been necessary at the time, but players should be made aware of this before booking and I also suggest the prices should be adjusted to reflect the conditions in play and lessened enjoyment. There had been no rain between booking and playing so the sanding must have been planned. However, I will be back when conditions are better, usually a nice course to play

Two steps forward, one big step back

Played this course several times and enjoyed it.

There have been some changes including some good bunkers added (eg 7th) and walkways. However, the greens were pretty poor. Lots of un repaired pitch marks and plenty of bare patches which made putting a lottery. Shame as I have thought the greens were decent before.

Will be back but will probably wait until summer.

Good to get out and play

Greens were still very good, fairways seemed to not be holding up as well as previous years although may have caught it on a bad day.

Will be back at some point

Great local course

First visit for a lot of years and it's improved massively, bunkers all redesigned and some new tees to make it longer. Nice to see it improving.

Great course, but clubhouse shuts early!

Friendly staff on arrival. The course is in great condition - tees fairways and greens all well maintained, and good views from most holes along the coast. No issues with slow play. Clubhouse looks utilitarian and was closed when we finished our round at 5:00.

Great course conditions

The course has well kept greens and good fairway/rough. The course is easy to navigate but the holes are quite close together and mainly short. Experience was sullied by someone confronting me about my pace of play which wasn’t justified as I was generally waiting for a trio in front and shooting max of triple bogey. I’m a beginner and was shooting some great shots until this person made me feel uncomfortable which completely threw my game. I would always expect a positive and patient attitude towards new and learning golfers. Whilst not the fault of the golf club it did affect my overall experience
