Great Course

Been a member now for 2 years and love the course. Can get a bit damp in winter, but is now starting to play really well again. Lots of work been done this year, so should be in good shape for the rest of the year.

Great course

Tricky one these days, as this is my home course these days. Quite tight off the tee, and a great variety of holes. Basically I love it, play it when you're in the North east, I'm sure you'll love it too. Have a chat to Bill, he's great.

The course was long. One of the longest I've plaid but this was negated by the wideners of nearly all the fairways. Not a course where many lost balls should come into play. The course was beautifully kept, the greens were fast and tricky which is to be expected.
