Very pretty course, fairways and greens in good condition. Plenty of water in the form of streams, brooks and ponds. Great views. Quite remote and out of the way to get to. Only two gripes. Firstly, the black and white marker post in the 17th is positioned far to much to the left. I hit a drive straight over it only to find an area if out of bounds directly behind it, very frustrating and spoilt an otherwise good round. Secondly the prices of drinks in the bar are just two high - £4.50 for a coffee is just pure greed!

Lovely course set in and around the grounds of the castle/hotel. Great variety amongst the course. Front 9 is probably slightly more diverse than the back but I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Major changes in elevation as you go round and water comes into play here and there. Well worth playing if you get the chance. Would love to have another go.

The course was in magnificent conditions although the bunkers were almost impossible and like cement.

The bar prices are an absolute disgrace - a pint over ?5, an orange juice and lemonade ?6 (how does this encourage a soft drink drinking driver?) and a Jameson ?8.50.

Its the small things that make a course stand out and they are sadly lacking here. It is one of the prettiest courses I've played with the front 9 really interesting but the greens although looking good were incredibly slow and over watered. The back 9 isn't in the same league and not a huge challenge but ok ish.The bunkers hadn't been raked for some days as several still showed signs of a heavy storm several days previous and many were full of animal footprints. Several tees weren't of a great standard and we received a soaking on one tee with the watering system on full blast at 3pm. Some pathways weren't well maintained and lacked a bit of TLC and ball cleaners are an endangered species. Overall a real shame as could have been so much better. Glad I didn't pay the the full green fee of £70 as that is a ridiculous amount for what you get. Add to that the most expensive coke in the western world doesn't give me a craving to rush back despite the beautiful tranquility
