The rough was a nightmare, was similar to that of a links course it was very thick/high reads and near impossible to escape in 1 shot. Turned into a weed hacking session later in the day, however with it being so thick and dense it was a great reminder to stay OUT. Perhaps helping motivate us to play good shots on some holes.
The fairways - in one word, terrible. The fairways are very poorly kept and look as though they have been cut with a strimmer. Awful.
Greens - the quality of the greens varied throughout the course, majority of them being very poor however and looking as though lots of buggies have driven over them, not smooth very bobbly.
Overall poor course, would not play there again unless it was for £10 maybe!

I know they had some bad press here with some vandals ruining the greens, I did play the course when it was at its worst and it wasnt amazing, but credit where its due, 3 weeks later I returned and it was as good as new.
Can get dryish through the summer, but which course doesnt??
Provides an excellent test for any golfer with narrow holes and plenty of hazards.
The signature 8th hole, the par 3 island green is a very nice test. Take some balls.
The only downside to this course is that it is very open and the wind does come into play most days.
Overall a great experience and a frequent visitor.

wet round at Blakes
I had a fantastic round at Blakes, a good inland links-style course with beautiful rolling hills and superb greens. well laid out, I played off 12 and shot an 82, with only one lost ball. Island Green.We had the deal of 2 x players and a buggy for ?60 well worth it, the staff in the bar and pro shop are lovely really friendly as were some of the members, will definitely book again.
