Nice course, unique layout

Play here regularly and its always in great shape. Unusual mix of holes, 6 of each par 3,4 and 5. Lots of water. Can be a bit slow sometimes but this day was fine after a slow start.

Coastal feeling parkland course

A funny course to play, with a very coastal links type feel to it for a parkland course. Plenty of undulation and some deceptive looking holes. Some of the best greens I've played on in the UK however, fast, true and very tricky!

Nice Parkland Course

Nice parkland course well laid out, the greens are so fast, be prepared for 5 hour rounds at this time. They are packing golfers in like sardines. Is it VFM no, not at ?60 pounds worth more like ?30. I know Seve designed the course, but you don't have to raise the price. There are better courses in and around the shire if you look. I would play again ,but only if the price was a lot lower.
Would i recommend ,yes it is worth a round ,just to check out a champion course

So so good

Each time play here I find I enjoy it more and more. The layout is really good and a fun quirky mixture of holes - obviously no 2 consecutive holes on each 9 are the same par so it keeps it interesting.

Place is also in unreal condition, nothing out of place and the green running the fastest I have ever seen them - a real defense for the course.

Really interesting course and well worth a visit. Having 6 par 5s you would think there’s a score to had - think again - it’s tough. Greens immaculate and rapid when we played. Bit pricey at £60. A few standout holes but leading that race was the 18th. Great risk reward hole when you’re better ball match play is on the line. One main negative was it was a 5 hour round ! The halfway BBQ food was a nice touch and lovely !

A challenge

Previously unimpressed but the course is now in great condition and is maturing nicely. Don't like the gimmicky 18th and would prefer not to start with a par 3 (would be better to start on the 10th) but the rest are really interesting and varied holes.

Did not play well at all and lost a lot of balls but will be back
