This is a lovely course, quite short, but in the most fantastic condition. I've played many far more expensive courses both in the UK and in Europe. Never have I played a course with such perfect greens. Superb, thank you greenkeepers!

The course is one of the best tests of golf I have encountered and I have played numerous top 100 courses.In excellent condition and will get even better as the club has invested heavily in new course equipment to improve its condition

Challenging course, however on this day found the weather better suited my play. Pin locations were favourable and course conditions were really good. Fairways were is a great condition too. There was no wind and this was beneficial towards a good score.

First time playing at this course but won't be my last. Absolutely amazing course in great surroundings. Tee shots near the castle are amazing. Great layout. Very clean. Fairways were in great condition. Club house was lovely. Nice pint and nice food. Greens were in the middle of repair so not the greatest of days play but was reflected in the lowered price.

Challenging

We arrived on an extremely wet day and the staff were excellent, accommodating us and allowing us to play on the course when they could have remained closed. Excellent customer service throughout. Lovely course, beautiful scenery.

Tough Par 3s

Pleasant members club with an interesting layout and some seriously challenging par 3s. Along with most courses just now the fairways were parched dry and very firm. Greens however were very well watered, soft and true. Overall a well maintained course.
A well established parkland layout with most fairways being based on old fashioned fields. This means they are broad and ‘wave’ up and down, leading to some interesting bounces and stances. You can even end up feeling a bit sea-sick! There’s a decent variety in length and shape which keeps thing interesting. It’s the par 3s that are the really challenging part though. They’re all tough with very little margin for error.. the 10th in particular is a beast, much harder than the 9th (hardest 9th in world golf).
All in a pleasant, well maintained and interesting course.

Lovely course generally however when i played the fairways were not in play so every shot was played from the semi rough. Also the greens here are normally excellent however they were poor today. Albeit it was early march.
