Watch out for arrogant slow playing members
Overall a great course, fantastic service from Daniel in the pro shop, quality course knowledge and couldn’t have been more welcoming. Had a very enjoyable 6 holes until we came up behind a member four ball who insisted they couldn’t let us play through as they were “having a match”, very disappointing, no one in front of them either, so we had to wait on every tee waiting for them (we’re a two ball in a buggy ffs), very bad etiquette and ruined our back nine tbh, we saw them finish their match on 14th hole and all shook hands and just played on and still didn’t let us through! JokersIn summary the course and staff in the pro shop are fantastic, immaculate par threes, a few gettable par fours and some tricky well laid out par five’s, but it doesn’t matter because I will never play it again or join because of the selfish members slow play.

Challenging - A good test of golf
We have been coming here now for a number of years and are never disappointed by either the condition of the course or the facilities available in the Club House. This Course is most definitely one of our Members' favourites and is already on our calendar for 2026.Reviewer Rating

It's Parkland Golf alright!
If you like a parkland layout, this is right up your straße. Welcomed warmly by all the members we encountered, and helpful in the proshop.Probably best to get a course guide as there are a few funky-ish holes and you need to know where to go to leave you in a favourable position for your approach shots. It's not always clear from the tees as visually, it can be somewhat lacking in definition. Unfortunately, we came at a time when the greens were being treated to the necessary seasonal work, with some featuring heavily scarification, some with random sandy spots and others, spiked. From what I saw, the bunkers played excellently, with a consistent amount of good quality sand. Personally, I wasn't really "wowed" by the course ... it's just consistently pleasant and that's fine.

Super Course
Well manicured lush fairways soft bunker sand great greens & lots of challenging & interesting holes more often tree lined. Conditions were perfect & the course was packed. Our 2 ball lasted over 4 & 1/2 hours. So never made it to the bar & kitchen long closed. The half way house was great though. Recommend the sausage rolls!Reviewer Rating

Wow!
Heard good things about the club so decided to give it a go and loved it! The setting is stunning with mature trees and a mansion as the backdrop. The presentation as you drive in is first class and all staff made you feel very welcome. The service and food in the bar were first class and the view from the balcony is as good as you will find. The course is stunning, presentation was of the highest standard and the greens were as good as I have played on. Paid £60 which is exceptional value....I will be back!Reviewer Rating

Lovely course, disappoint management
This is a good course. Winding through some lovely countryside. Some really challenging holes, but a fair test for all levels. However, over five and a quarter hours to get round is not acceptable. Neither is the Pro's response of 'there's a lot of people out today' when we asked, after finishing, why it was so slow. Lot's of people on a golf course is no excuse for an apparent lack of interest in what's happening on it. There was a society in front of us (20+ golfers) that were taking an age over all aspects and should have been asked to get a move on. A real shame because I really liked the course and the staff in the clubhouse were lovely, but would think twice about returning if this is how they manage a 'busy' day. It's not cheap to play here, and they bill themselves as 'one of the best....' so I would expect better in the marshalling of the course. Which means my overall rating is badly coloured by the on course management, or rather the lack of it.(Round played: Nov 2017 - Score: 90 Handicap: 14.4)
