Had a weekend break there end of October 15. Course was fair for when it was. Greens were in good condition, still firm and fast.
Only real criticism was that the hotel, bar and pro shop were in 3 separate buildings.
Nothing to do with the golf is that the town is awful. 4 pubs and all rubbish.

It is some time since I last played this course and it is apparent that a lot of work has gone into improving its playability. The rough is now nicely graded so slightly offline shots are not as severely punished. The fairways are pretty good and the greens and bunkers well maintained. The greens are a little slow but the upside of that is that well hit approach shots will hold. Unfortunately, although there are a lot of ball cleaners, we couldn't find one with any water in it and although a lot of bins are provided there was a lot of litter and plastic bottles on the course.

The day we played it was VERY windy. That said it didn't really have any affect until the last 3 holes.

The course was very wet in all areas! But then it is winter and although wet under foot all the greens were open and playable, the fairways are being cut up - why don't people put their divots back? Anyway friendly staff, good food and comfortable rooms, will be going back later this year

Friendly atmosphere, course has wintered well, has recently swoped front and back 9's and updated/refurbished the clubhouse. If you're in the area it's worth a visit

Annual 4 day break, course suitable for medium - high handicap golfers, very good condition. Location great, Food excellent, Rooms need a bit of TLC. Buggy hire very expensive.

Lovely course spoilt by condition of greens
A lovely course spoilt by the unkept condition of the greens. Great value for money venue, nice challenging short course with plenty of hazards. The fairways and tees were ok but the greens were pretty poor and not cared for. Staff blamed the recent weather but looked like more. Wouldn't stop a return visit but you need to understand your putts don't run true. The accommodation was adequate, the bar prices a little steep but the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the catering were excellent.Reviewer Rating

Whilst the practice facilities are poor the actual course was very enjoyable to play. Although quite a short course it has a lot of blind holes (both up and downhill) and plenty of ditches and other hazards to negotiate.Reviewer Rating
