Not bad. Nice greens.
Nice little course, tight enough and challenging in places. Undulating to hilly going. Really tough opening hole. 2nd set of tee boxes change the holes enough to alter them.Reviewer Rating

Fantastic course for a nine hole

9 hole course with no facilities, just a little office to pay your fees in. Lovely course to play though, very enjoyable. Noise in the background from the steel works all the time though, I couldnt cope with that all the time, I supposed you would get used to it. A bit confusing as to which tee box you play from on the back 9.
