An OK course in OK condition but nothing to write home about. Very friendly staff in there though and the members came over to say hello which was very hospitable.

Great course in a woodland setting that is in excellent condition and at a very reasonable price, I played on a Thursday which is seniors day so the pace of play was a little slow.

Amazing

The overall layout of the course was brilliant, can’t see how people give it bad reviews on here friendly staff and a greenkeeper who obviously knows what he is doing, greens were mid pace but with the weather we’ve had what do we expect, was a little untidy around the lakes but you can see they’re working on that, bar staff were very friendly! Both pros were helpful chatty and made sure we were off the right few so we didn’t get held up! Not everyday you get that! Would recommend to anyone for the money there’s not much better.

Pace OF Play

Having recently played two rounds there, I managed to get held up by two 4 ball groups. I Timed that first group on one par 5 hole and they took 25 minutes to play one hole and they remained blissfuly unaware of the backlog that this pace was casuing in terms of baklogo and que of players behind them. This pace of play is unnacceptable on public course.

Long challenging course

Very nice course and challenging round spoilt only by a "No buggies after 1.30pm" policy which precluded a friend with MS from playing and, presumably, ever being able to benefit from the Twilight discount. Seems unfair paticularly as Course Pro used buggy to zoom round about 6pm!!
