Reviewed Feb 9 2012 by Kevin F - rated 2 out of 5 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.

Reviewed Aug 30 2017 by Steven H - rated 3 out of 5 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!

Reviewed Aug 3 2020 by Ralph P - rated 4 out of 5 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.

Reviewed Apr 29 2019 by Alan F - rated 4 out of 5 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.

Reviewed Aug 24 2018 by Mark D - rated 4 out of 5 Beautiful, and challenging
A gorgeous course - beautifully & immaculately maintained. View of the White Horse hill from the first tee. Some very acute angled dog-legs, and plenty of bunkers for the unwary. Not many water hazards, but the ones that are there will challenge you. It was a sunny, humid day on the day we played. A really terrific 18 holes, well worth £40 green fee.(Round played: Aug 2018 - Score: 107 Handicap: 23.5)

Reviewed May 25 2018 by Derek M - rated 4 out of 5 Good course
A good course with very well kept fairways and bunkers. The greens were not quite up to the same standard, being not as smooth as I expected. Putts were thus more testing than they should have been. Overall though it was a fair test with some interesting challenges.Course (layout/challlenge)

Very nice course, great layout with some interesting holes, was a little wet under foot and green a little scruffy, but may be due to time of year.(Round played: Sep 2017 - Score: 96 Handicap: 14.1)

Played here as part of a corporate event and really liked the course. It's long and difficult with lots to think about on the way. The nick of the fairways and greens was great though the greens were a devil to read. Staff were great and if you travel to this course you'll not be disappointed with the investment in time. Thoroughly recommend fed!!Course (layout/challlenge)
