Reviewed Jun 13 2017 by Ash/Ipswich - rated 5 out of 5 Lovely course and clubhouse
Really neat and tidy course. Greens were excellent when we played. Very true and quite fast. There are some long par 4s which are a bit of a slog, but overall a really nice course. The clubhouse is also excellent and the food really good. It has one of the nicest terraces overlooking the 18th green that I have seen. Overall I would highly recommend this as a place to visit and play.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Sep 9 2011 by CAT - rated 1 out of 5 This club is too stuffy and stuck in the past, sadly missing the chance to encourage new members, expensive to join but course condition is very high standard but a bit clinical and predictable. Club is dominated by retired golfers who seem to spend their time looking for a reason to complain, new members do not feel welcome. If you are retired and can afford it then may suit you, if you are a weekend golfer save your money and look elsewhere as there are better clubs with a warm welcome

Reviewed Aug 30 2011 by Martin A - rated 1 out of 5 Was a member here for nearly a year and felt very unwelcome. With the joining fee and membership fees this is a very expensive club and for a weekend golfer far too pricey.The average age here seems to be retired 65+ and the club fixtures reflects this so getting a casual game at the weekend is tough and sometimes impossible. Facilities and course are excellent but as a balanced feel to enjoyment, warm welcome,and embracing new golfers i would say they are lacking big time.
The club has some very excellent course marshalls, good pro shop, good good teaching facilities. The course is kept to a very high standard but is slightly dull and not very rewarding, if you are looking for variation this place hasnt much to offer, it does have loads of bunkers will poor quality sand, too little sand and slow play most of the time
Hope this helps anybody considering parting with large sums of money.
