Considering that half the Fillies course was shortened and as we only played 16 holes on the Colt to say this was a disappointment is an understatement.. no compensation was offered and we also had to pay the full price for buggies.. And drinks in the 19 hole are an extortionate price.

I had a great time on my golfing trip playing both the Colt and Filly courses. Both courses provided a great challenge and were perfectly manicured. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this golfing trip to anyone looking for a fun and challenging experience.

Played the Filly Course, a good golf course, but I expected a bit more from Close House.
It's in good condition, except for the greens which are heavily sanded & therefore slow.
It's a nice lay out, with some good strategic bunkering & a few trees.
I particularly enjoyed holes 5 to 8 where there was a bit of water & you go up & down hill, but other than that the course was fairly flat.
A nice golf course, but I expected more

Get a course planner and a buggy

Roller coaster of a course. There are some holes (e.g. 14th) where you just don't know what you are facing unless you have a course planner (there are no pictures on the tees - unlike the filly).
Its a course you come off thinking i'd love to play that again now I know what's going on.

Played the filly course today and thoroughly enjoyed it. The weather was fantastic and we had a really enjoyable game. Can't wait to play the colt course tomorrow.
