Flat, open wide parkland course. Beginning to suffer from lack of rain. Long holes and a nice challenge. My constant complaint with lots of courses is the state of bunkers. Thin, or no sand making it almost impossible to play.

An enjoyable course. Greens and tees are in excellent condition and the wide fairways well maintained. First sightings for me of autonomous grass cutting equipment going around the course which can creep up on you?. There are a few well placed ditches which force the ?lay up? or ?go for it? decisions

The course is in amazing condition. The greens are well looked after. Played there on Thursday 24th April and would 100% play there again. Ive only been playing golf for just over 6 months and finished 23 over which for me was pretty good. You'll definitely get your steps in walking this course but I highly recommend playing it.Reviewer Rating

As a society from Stevenage g/c. We first played about 4 years ago and to be fair. It wasn’t great. But in those 4 years it’s shown a massive improvement. We played today. 21/7/24. Great T boxes. Fairways and greens. Pleasure to playReviewer Rating

Nice course, must play
Taken round by a member who was pleased to show off his course and why not! The owner was also front of house, friendly and welcoming. A challenging long course compared to what I play, open in places, tricky water in play on some holes. Course in very good condition. Excellent value for money at ?16!Reviewer Rating
