Very busy and slow
Course was in good condition- especially the greens which were very fast despite heavy overnight rain.We played from 13:30 on Sunday afternoon. 3 groups. Course was very busy - maybe because the sun was shining after rain most of the morning. But it was VERY slow. Waiting on every hole. I gave up after 2.5 hours for 9 holes. The rest of the guys continued but I’d had enough by then
Course is unusual in that due to undulating layout there were hardly any greens you could see from the tees

Played this course twice in 2 days sep 3-4 2022.Weather had been dry of late so fairways were dry and hard.
Only 2 par 5s and 3 par 3s. A string of 7 par 4s from 2nd to 8th. 1st & 2nd good holes then we get some silly tight par 4s , lap of the gods if you get a good or bad bounce. You can easily be blocked by low branches and tricky to advance to ball back in play as the fairways are so slopey. The par 5s are good. 1st reachable in 2 as its all downhill. 15th a good par 5 you have to plot your way. 9th a good short par 3 with a very slopey green. other 2 par 3s are both with raised greens that you cant see, both very difficult. The condition of the fairways was good, greens also were good and fast. I would take about 9 or 10 holes from the 18 as good design but the rest not enjoyable. Will not be rushing back but worth a go if you live close.

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.
