Good not overly long course. Good greens and tee boxes a pleasure to play.

Interesting course - has a links feel to it. Rough very unforgiving but greens in marvellous condition for an open course. Greens not easy very undulating in places. Challenging game - twilight fees very reasonable

The course was in very good condition but some of the paths from green to tee could do with some more work and you need to stay out of the rough.

A good course. Very sandy greens...but they need to be or they would be too fast for such undulating greens.

Used the 2Fore1 vouchers at the course which was much better value. I think we still got charged too much though for a Saturday round (£35 each instead of £25). But course was top notch, played very well and the greens were fantastic.

very friendly welcome, the course is always in very good condition however a lot of bunkers are full of stones, but they are upgrading them gradually to which the ones completed are now very good.
The fairways and greens are excellent and you always get a true roll but can be very tricky !!
Would highly recommend to all levels of golfer

Too open. Too windy. Large park with holes rather than a golf course.
Nice enough people, but priced like a real golf course which it isn't!

I had only ever played here during the summer before, and on both occasions I had been impressed with the course and especially the greens.

I wasn't sure what to expect after overnight February rain, but I found a course that handles wet weather better than a lot of other local courses.

The course isn't short, it's 6600 yards from the yellows, but as most of the holes have fairways which are very forgiving, this at least allows you to open your shoulders and have a good crack at them.

The tees and fairways were in really good condition, and while the greens were in decent nick for the amount of rain we've had recently, they were a little on the bobbly side. They were still better than a number of other courses I've played on at this time of year though.

My favourite hole is the 18th, a longish par 4 which is played uphill and back to the clubhouse, and is very pleasing to the eye. Just play it better than I did!

The clubhouse itself lives up to the high standards of the course, and is the perfect place to grab a drink after your round.
