Winter weather but terrible upkeep
Course was in terrible condition.Rakes in bunkers either missing or broken.
Parts of fairway netted off and much of the course had areas around fringes of green dug up and unplayable. This was allegedly due to magpies causing the damage.
?39 for a round is too much for the condition of the course.

Some very Spongy greens
Apart from the spongy greesn there seems to have been an outbrake of Animals tearing up the fairways in patches. Looks unsightly but didn't affect the game. Muddy paths have now been roped off and between greesna dn tees there is a much greater distance so preserving the tees and areas around the greens. Bumpy greens with one or two being still quite spongy. Greens have been cut to a much smaller size which is good as makes the course more difficult.(Round played: Jan 2022 - Score: 95 Handicap: 16.2)

Forgiving. And great views
First time back in 30 years but only because on the wrong side of the river to me. Forgotten quite how open it was but fairways were above par for late December & greens mostly good - at least no temps or temp tees. Still a bit muddy here & there away from those areas & bunkers not great. But the views are pleasant & every hole gives you a chance to score.Reviewer Rating

Nice course in picturesque surroundings. Course was in good condition. Friendly staff. The only downside is the limited practice facilities.

Easy parkland course with wide fairways and light rough. A few bunkers no water hazards. Layout allows speedy pace of play

Tighned already.
The greens have already been tighned and watered but not cut so very slow and obviously bumpy. Ret of course in good nick except bunkers may need a bit more sand. On the hole an under used golf course espeially after 15:00 in the summer at w/e.(Round played: Sep 2021 - Score: 93 Handicap: 15.8)

disappointing golf course
on my recommendation took two colleagues to the course ,one of which has his own motability buggy.after paying the green fees of ?25 each we were about to go to the 1st Te,.we were then advised by the starter that THE OWNER does not allow individual buggies but will let you purchase a club buggy ,no reason given for not accommodating injured players!..We were not advised that the green staff were Hole Tining the greens and there was no reduction in the green fee .The course was in good condition however NO SECOND CUT FROM THE FAIRWAYS and the long grass would mean lost balls and time consumption looking for them. The green staff also left longer grass growing in the middle of some of the fairways,this meant good shots would be punished and stopped from running as far as they would from the Tee. In summation a very disappointing day out. Speaking to one of the members on the course, his opinion was that the owner is more interested in catering for Wedding receptions than the running and condition of the course!.Reviewer Rating

Turned up after booking through the pro at the club. We were a 3 ball and paid £25 each as seniors. No mention from the pro shop that the greens were being HolevTined, No reduction in our green fees and one hole unplayable while greenkeepers were Hole tining the 7th green. Unnecessary rough with no 2nd cut causing delays finding balls 12 yards off of most fairways,causing slow play. Fairways interrupted witlh 30/40 yard rough growing in the middle of the fairways .. WHY?..seems the owner is more interested in welcoming wedding parties than organising a proper maintained Golf Course. The owner also doesn’t allow individual buggies but is happy to charge for course buggies. Over all a disappointing visit to a below average golf course
