I don't really have much positive to say about the course. The greens are so fast and slopey it's like playing crazy golf. Combined ridiculous pin placements and the condition of the course, all in all it wasn't a pleasant 5 hours, even if it was free! The course just seems to be the same repetitive holes back and forward on hills with the exception of some holes where you take your life in your own hands as fairways cross.
Finally, least said about the catering the better. Let's just say the art of making rice pudding is certainly lost on those in the kitchen.

Very good course. Intriguing lay out. Really enjoyed it. Plays longer than it looks.

Probably played the course at it's worst time. It was extremely wet and very boggy in places. A course I would imagine in the summer, that tests golfers of all levels.
Hope to return when the weather picks up

Reviewed Aug 16 2015

Really friendly course but not a parkland as suggested in some descriptions. Back nine opens up but is a little bit backwards and forwards. Some nice holes though and they make everybody feel very welcome. Greens too concrete like for my liking and fairways way too close together especially on the first few holes.

Great course but a bit hilly and when it's windy the course can be a little harder to play because most holes go in to the wind.

Lovely course with a few very challenging holes. The 8th hole in particular with that massive slope in front of the green was a real challenge for my abilities. Holes 12 & 13 also seemed really long !!

Worth visiting

Well kept course. Back nine more difficult (in my opinion)! Wide fairways. Good for beginner golfers

Up and Down.

Nice wide fairways and well manicured under the tree lines. Drives need to be of a decent length to reach safety on many holes and some final shots to the greens are over a ditch or/and uphill.Some holes are a bit up and down and similar.

Very nice course. Greens and fairways were in perfect condition. Quite forgiving off the tee but the greens are undulating and hard to read. Couple of tough par 5s, that played straight into a strong breeze, really ruined my round.
