The course has been overplayed during the winter months and has a great tendency to flooding. Normally the course is in very good condition.
Catering has maintanined the same standard but protions seem to have dimished, therefore not giving the same value for money.
The staff are always very polite and helpful

Very nice course. Well maintained and watered appropriately. Only thing I didn't like was that on some greens there were sprinkler heads in the putting surface, not around the edges of the greens as is normal.

Worth the visit
Originally booked a society day and was able to arrange for the facility to pay on the day. However numbers couldn’t make the day and the club was very accommodating with numbers even been reduced on the day. For an organiser this made my day.The course was in very good condition and challenging enough for our leve of play.
All the staff - front of house and catering - were all brilliant making for a lovely day. Pity the weather didn’t oblige but nobody has any control over that.

Well cared for course. Initially played after a few days of rain and the course was holding up nicely. Then two rounds of torrential rain resulted in waterlogged parts. Course is laid out well with friendly staff. When the fairways dry up a bit, then same great holes to attack and other require planning.

Never played here before. Nice course in good condition. Pretty flat but intersting enough to go round. Greens had just been hollowtined but were pretty decent. Clubhouse was a nice place to have a drink afterwards. Would like to play it again at some point.

Love this course and have played a number of times. Only ever experienced slow play once. Some nice wide fairways to forgive my high handicapper drives. Appears to drain well too as you often get a nice bit of additional distance from bounce. Still enough opportunities to lose balls to challenge those with higher handicaps. Although the bar wasn't open the last time we played, pre-COVID, I found it very welcoming. Has become a little more expensive than pre-COVID but hope to be able to pick up some visitor bargains in the future.
