Ok Municipal, nothing special
This was my first visit here, with a 16 strong society. Starting with the ?Clubhouse? ? this has more of a caf? feel than a traditional bar. Didn't seem really big enough for any kind of ?Function?, and I'm not aware of any further space within the building for that use. Pro-shop was separate, but was closed by the time we came off the course. I was told it is expensive. There is a 40 bay driving range with shot-tracker, which apparently is so busy you have to book to use it, but apparently the ?bar? will deliver snacks/drinks to the seating area behind the bays while you wait.As a society, we had breakfast which was good, and our first tee was around 11.30, which (the day after the clocks went back) gave us only just enough time to get round before it was dark. There was torrential rain the day before our round, which left the greens and paths very wet, and with a lot of mud around.
This is the first course I've played in some years where all 18 tees were on ?temporary mats?, and whilst the mats were large and level, this was not very pleasing. I only visited one bunker which seemed well stocked with sand, and was fairly well presented/raked. Fairways also seemed fairly good, but again wet because of the weather, and the greens were slow because of the previous rain, but looked reasonable otherwise.
I think I?d like to play this when it's dry, as the holes seemed quite interesting, but I'm not going to rush back.

Good value for money course (The Oaks) Albeit ground keeping a bit sub
A great course to play if your looking for a cheaper 18.Mostly flat across all the course except for the back 9 where a few holes are up and down.
Nice and open without much in the way of obstacles - The Willows on the 16th are the only real problem that can cause a golfer to loose a number of shots if they get dragged in.
Alot of investment has been put in at the clubhouse. Nice veranda overlooking the practice green. Great driving range with digital Virtual Ball Seeker giving you stats on your drives. Only downside is the toilets. They are very drab and in need of renovating.
My only real gripe with the course is the quality of the grounds keeping. Alot of the tees are poorly tended. Alot of missing lawn. Divots strewn across the floor and not replaced quickly or at all. Dead patches. Fairways are respectable and the mid rough is OK. Heavy rough doesn't appear to get any attention. Greens are poor. Quite alot of GUR (animal damage) and pitch marked heavily. Playing after spells of Heavy rain (even after several days) usually mean the greens are water logged. Never seen to get spiked. Odd bits are to be expected on any course, but seems to be a regular thing here.
Overall a good course to play. But don't expect amazing conditions most of the year. Good for local players but probably wouldn't travel far to play here.

Good course
Haven't played here for about 1o yrs, even though it's on my doorstepCourse was in great condition, albeit a couple of the green were in need of a bit of repair - great fairways and some challenging holes.
Only disappointment was the speed of play and the members not willing to let me (as a single) through. It was painfully slow and there was a notice that said I should be at X hole in 40 mins.....it had taken me 60!.
Furthermore, on one hole there was a group on the fairway, one on the tee, and another waiting as I arrived. Each of the two groups turned to me, looked at each other and simple said 'it's a bit slow today'.....I would go back, but would need to pick my time better

Good par 3
Good par 3 course, with mixture of distances and hills making holes play longer/shorter. No bunkers (there used to be but they were never properly maintained). Greens are small and challenging, making par scores tough if you're off target with your tee shot. Winter mats are played off all year round. Expect a slow round in school holidays!Considering there are not many par 3 courses in county (I can only recall 1 other at Brampton Heath), it's good they've kept it going.

good condition public course
This was a good public course which was well maintained. There were very few marker posts to give distance to green a course planner is a good idea.(Round played: Sep 2019 - Score: 107 Handicap: 33.7)
