I enjoy playing this course, however the greens are extremely unforgiving in the summer. A very tight course that requires consistant driving, which when pulled off you will only need a short iron/wedge into the green. My favourite hole was the Par 3 9th that is overlooked by the old but spectacular clubhouse. The pro shop is very friendly towards its costumers and is stocked well. The Clubhouse/Bar is well equiped but feels small and restricted. Overall an enjoyable course which it has a lot of potential to be Great!!

I really like this course. You have to play well score but it’s forgiving and you don’t lose many balls. Lovely setting and well maintained

In good condition. Greens fast. A continuing shame that the clubhouse no longer does fresh food.

Well maintained course with nice pro shop and staff. Dealt with efficiently and politely. Course was dry due to recent weather conditions, understandably. This made the course difficult as you had to play for the slope of the fairways and the extra distance the course mad the ball travel. Greens were true and reasonably fast.
Lacks signage as to where certain holes are and can be misleading especially hole 9 to 10....difficult to find! Otherewise a great day out.
