Good course

A pretty good course although the greens on this occasion weren't great as being treated and very bobbly. Some nice challenging holes and a long course.

Never played here before. Nice course in good condition. Pretty flat but intersting enough to go round. Greens had just been hollowtined but were pretty decent. Clubhouse was a nice place to have a drink afterwards. Would like to play it again at some point.

Love this course and have played a number of times. Only ever experienced slow play once. Some nice wide fairways to forgive my high handicapper drives. Appears to drain well too as you often get a nice bit of additional distance from bounce. Still enough opportunities to lose balls to challenge those with higher handicaps. Although the bar wasn't open the last time we played, pre-COVID, I found it very welcoming. Has become a little more expensive than pre-COVID but hope to be able to pick up some visitor bargains in the future.

Loverly little 9 hole.

This is a fantastic little 9 hole course. it is well maintained & fairly challenging but not to hard. It is quite hilly but that just adds to the fun.
