Challenging Short Course

This course is well maintained and presents plenty of challenges arising from trees, bushes, ditches and ponds. It could accurately be described a tight course where accuracy is required to score reasonably.

Flat course but you need to be straight

A very friendly club which is being developed significantly by the current owner with paths for buggies. Many of the areas around the greens have been revamped. The clubhouse has just been extended such that it has doubled its' capacity.

Good Value Course

Although a short course, it presents an interesting challenge with trees, ponds, ditches and gorse. The course is subject to regular improvement works and the bar and eating facilities are likewise always looking to improve upon the good standard already provided.

Short but tight with many small greens

I was a member her in 1977 and have just joined again as its quite good value. The greens are good but the course gets well used by members and visitors. In the winter there is lots of surface water which eventually finds its way into the many streams that border many of the fairways and greens. There are many trees around the course and in autumn its a nightmare finding your ball on some holes if you happen to hit a shot off the line to the hole. The course is flat and the fairway grass is quite sparse as subsoil is heavy clay. In the summer the ground turns very hard. The staff are very friendly and the club has plenty of competitions and groups operating "Roll ups".
