Could write loads about this course. What I will say is, what a great peace of real estate
to build a good course on !! PITY THEY DIDN\'T .
Greens: a mess ( no sprinkler system )
Tees : a bigger mess, most non existent
Fairways; well fair really, at least they were cut
No practice net- AstroTurf putting green ( you\'ve got to be kidding )
Verdict; could be reasonable but needs a very large shed load of work !!!

Its almost a year since I last played but what a difference.
Gone is the porter cabin, they have converted the old White Lion pub, and its stunning full bar and food and generous seating wow I said looks mint lol
Also the old waste ground is now being converted to a 9 hole par 3, so things have moved on
The course was in good shape a few fairways still had grass cutting on them and a few greens need some more tlc, but tee boxes were loads neater,over all looks loads more maintained and things are heading in the right direction
First 9 still a nice warm up for the last 9, which again kicked me in the teeth lol
but recovered to post my best ever score on full 18 holes to date
Keep up the great work guys, I think you have a little gem on the cards
Well Done

25-07-2012 WENT TO PLAY A CHEAP ROUND OF GOLF £10 FOR 18 HOLES SOUNDS CHEAP TO START, BUT PRACTICE RANGE IS A WOODEN STRUCTURE WITH 4 RIPPED UP MATS. THE LANDING AREA IS WASTELAND NO MARKERS WITH ANY DISTANCES ON THEM. BALLS ARE IN A TUBE 20 ISH BALLS £1 THEY WERE COVERED IN SLUDGE AND SOIL.

ONTO THE COURSE. T BOXES HAVE NOT BEEN CUT GRASS TOO LONG. GRASS CUT ON SOME FAIRWAYS BUT LEFT IN BIG CLUMPS, HIT A NICE DRIVE TO
LAND ON FAIRWAY THEN THE SEARCH FOR THE BALL BEGINS UNDER THE GRASS CUTTINGS. SOME BUNKERS HAVE WATER IN THEM SOME HAVE BIG WEEDS GROWING IN THEM. DOG OWNERS JUST LET THEIR DOGS RUN ALL OVER THE PLACE, WHAT IS THE RULE IF YOUR BALL LANDS IN DOG MESS. JUST ABOUT TO T OFF AT THE 18TH WHEN SOME FOOL DECIDES TO USE THE FAIRWAY FOR SOME PITCHING PRACTICE TO THE 18 GREEN WITH HALF A DOZEN BALLS. DONT LET ME GET IN YOUR WAY I SAID AS I GOT NEAR HIM, IM JUST MESSING ABOUT HE SAID YES I CAN SEE THAT WAS MY REPLY AS I PICKED MY BALL UP AFTER JUST 1 SHOT AND WALKED OFF IN DIS-BELIEF STRAIGHT BY THE PORTA CABIN CLUB HOUSE. DO YOUR SELF A FAVOUR AND KEEP AWAY ITS AWFUL WISH I HAD ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK

2nd time in 2 weeks played here weather was wet all evening

Course has held up very well with the bad weather had over the last week
Some holes were a bit soft and taking divots was par for the course

Greens run true as ever
Front 9 was a joy and played some of my best golf
then the back 9 kicked me in the teeth but held on

Great fun for all abilities and loving the course already

Give it a go its a blast

a lovely first 9 but back 9 very tricky for the not so experienced, very hilly and up and down in places, par 5 holes are up and down adjacent to each other, didnt like them when i played them, also very sloping towards each other, you need to play the round several times to get the course, tricky

The reception from the staff and members is welcoming.
The course has a nice layout, very challenging and you need good course management.
The course is NOT WELL MAINTAINED though which is a pity. The tee boxes need a lot of work, and the greens are in an AWFUL state, with big bold patches dotted about on them.
