This is a very accessible golf course! The staff are very friendly and helpful! The actual course is wide open and the rough is cut down, good for us amateurs! This helps to keep games flowing along! Stroke index 1 is a very hard hole, play like a par 5, is the best bet!

The mature trees give this course a well established feel which belies its youth. Greens and fairways are cut nice and tight and roll was true. The amount and placement of trees and bunkers bring balance to what is a fairly short course which remains a decent test. Well worth a look.

We went there on a wet wet day, but the course was still holding up fine. 13 holes were operational. Apart from the weather, the greens were quick and well maintained and so was the fairway.
Will definitely recommend.

Played this course after some recent wet weather. The course should not have been open, it was that boggy after it had been "played" by golfers before us that it would have been better if we saved our money and went a hit a few balls round a recently ploughed farmers field.
We could have replicated the Clays green experience by buying several Asda Value sponges, fixing them together and getting the putter out.
This is probably a decent course in the summer but, if you don't fancy having that much mud on you that even the Predator couldn't see you, DON'T PLAY IN THE WINTER!

We booked a four ball following an email offer of £20 a man including a buggy. It seemed a great deal for what was reviewed (on here) as a great course.
Now, before I start, let me make clear that I appreciate that in no way can a golf club be held responsible for the weather and Mother Nature. However, I do believe they have a responsibility to their guests and more so their members (as well as themselves for future financial prosperity) to provide accurate course information AND the self respect and common sense to reduce or cancel play if conditions are intolerable.
After a couple of days of rain in the area, we suspected a damp track and possibly the odd temp green, winter mat tee box and even play from the first cut rough rather than fairways (which is often requested on decent courses following poor weather). We got a phone call the day before our booking date to advise that buggies would not be allowed and we would be off winter mats. "No problem" we thought. No mention of what we would find....
We got there after no morning rain for our post midday tee time. I can only describe the course as a mud bath. The first hole had a small pond developed in a slope of the fairway (approx 40 foot in size) the fairway was a bog and the rough was just unplayable. We thought it might just be in a bad water catchment spot and carried on to the par 3 second. The bunkers around the green were GUR in 2 foot of water and the green itself was like walking on porridge. Ruined.
This carried on throughout our round with only 2/3 holes playing ok and the 16th and 17th out of action entirely.
We weren't off winter mats....instead the tee positions had been moved onto the start of each fairway. Only a few yards for some, for others it made the hole 50+ yards shorter. And EVERY tee area was devoid of grass and was a soggy muddy mess from where endless people had trampled.
Very few bunkers were not water logged or GUR. Tracks between holes were a boggy mess and tedious on the legs. The greens moved under foot and were a slushy debacle.
Now, as I say, I appreciate the weather is controlled by nature. But if its this bad. CLOSE THE COURSE!!! Don't have the lack of respect for paying customers to provide little information and make them endure a round. I dread to think what your members make of the state of the course as you allow people to ruin it by simply walking on it.
The place would be nice if it was cared for and respected and used responsibly.
I was testing the place for a possible society visit. That will not be happening and we won't be visiting again.
Worst course conditions we've ever played. It simply shouldn't have been open.
