In really good nick
Good course, but playing very short after the good weather. Greens are spot on. Receptive but running very true.Most holes you'll want to be running up to the flag from before the green though.
Lunch was excellent as was the service

Brilliant Day
What a lovely day we had, the course was in excellent condition, the greens were extremely fast, miss by an inch and see it roll two foot past. The food and staff were brilliant accommodating our food requirement and changing numbers as it the way when running a society making my day as the organiser less stressfulReviewer Rating

Fair course for average players
We play weekly. Course is always in good condition and greens are well kept.Bunkers can be a bit rough as although several have been re-sanded, there are still a few with too many stones/ clippings, if you don’t want to mark your clubs.

Not a great golfing experience
Overall this was not a very enjoyable round of golf. We arrived around 30mins before our tee time to have a practise putt, loosen up etc. There is a tiny putting green, some kids were having a putting lesson so no space for golfers to putt, which was not a great start. Considering this is a 27 hole complex the putting green is very small. There are no nets here either to hit a few practise swings. There is a golf range, but that is back through the car park so no good once you have already made it to the first tee area. We walked to the 1st tee only to find a massive queue. We walked over 10 mins prior to our tee and there were five 4 balls waiting to tee off. We asked what their times were, they were all earlier than us, but there were only 2 mins apart!. It is impossible to get even solo golfers out with only tee times 2 mins apart. They clearly only want money at this course and at £39.50 a time they are raking it in. A Marshall/start would be beneficial during peak times like other courses to keep everything moving. It is short, many holes is a driver (or long iron) and a chip onto the green. It's a long pitch and putt course rather than a "proper golf course". The round also took 5 hours to play as every shot was waiting. Each tee had 3 groups on it. Every green was bumpy, as other reviewers have said. The ball never rolls true and some of the fairways are the same length as the rough, especially holes 11 and 12. Perhaps with the rain it was not possible to cut the grass, which is fine - but you cannot charge £39.50 for a course like this. Bunkers (I went in a few) had not much sand and was full of stones. I refused to hit out of some as they would have damaged my club!. My local council course is far better than this and they only charge £19 per round. There also does not appear to have a dress code here either. Some golfers were wearing round neck t-shirts with tracksuit bottoms, and we saw two group containing 8 golfers. Maybe there was a club tournament on this weekend, but the number of people on the course was ridiculous. I would not come back here, especially not at these prices. This is a max £30 course at peak times but only when in tip top condition and this is far from that stage.Reviewer Rating
