ALthough we played this in January the greens were a disgrace with hardly any grass on them at all- with clumps of completely bare mud patches.

Too difficult for medium handicappers. Bunkers unfairly placed in front of almost all greens and both sides of almost every drive. Course management of typical hotel course - over booked resulting in 5hrs round!

Played here with a friend whilst staying at the hotel. Course in good condition given the recent dry weather. Greens were true and rolled well. Some of the rough had been cut back since I'd played at a similar time last year which was helpful. Mask required in the pro shop which was also one way, both of which were no problem, though shame you couldn't look round. Friendly welcome and nice food and pint in golf bar post round. £50 for the round was reasonable.

Worthwhile visit

Blustery afternoon on a course that is always difficult.
First cut of rough was disappointingly long which made a tough course tougher and cost some time searching.
Otherwise course in good nick but will improve as it dries out for the summer.
