I am sorry to say this is the worse course I have played for a long, long time.
The fairways were covered in loose grass cuttings
The greens were full of pitch marks, it must be a rule at this club NOT to repair pitch marks.
One good thing the members on the course were friendly were as in the club house the staff were not the best I have ever met.
This is one course I will NEVER play again.

Fairways are heavey and wet and the greens are very heaverly tyned and thick with sand. would not be so bad if they were rolled to prevent bobbling while putting.
Bunkers, well if you can call them that, as little sand and what sand there is has more stones in it than stone henge.
general poor maintence throughout but has a great potential if they looked after the couse better. just think they need double the green staff they have at present.

Was an absolute mire, avoid in winter like the plague. Looks like it should be a nice summer course though.
