This is a good course unless it's been very wet sustained weather. It doesn't drain well but in normal conditions it's really good. It's flat, decent shop and bar, good driving range and a hotel attached for societies. Unlike some hotel courses, this is really good. Greens were in decent nick.Reviewer Rating

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.

My club course, so I may be biased. It's beautiful to play through the trees, and very picturesque. Is a bit wet at the moment, but that's typical of a lot of parkland courses at this time of the year.(Round played: Oct 2020 - Score: 82 Handicap: 11.7)
