The twilight fee of £18 would be good value on a nice windless day; but this was not one of them and with winds approaching 40 mph at times the back nine was bit of a joke, until you reach some shelter at 14-16. Apart from no3 all of the front nine played downwind, whilst the back nine was into the wind or cross winds, apart from no17.
I was the only one on the course, clearly the members had better sense!
Excellent reception in the clubhouse though.

Short but tricky
Thankfully played in little wind. As it was the first time played, the course was explained thoroughly by the pleasant welcoming lady at the bar and the greens to tees were self-explanatory apart from the 17th to 18th that ironically was missed from the explanation. However, the direction of the holes was not clear on a few of the blind holes. The links like course is straight out and back with a lot of zig-zagging. Short in length (the visitor green fees are relatively expensive for such a course) and a little too compact at the end but tricky with rises and falls and as it is set along a ridge most lies were hanging. Course overall was in very good condition and the members met were most pleasant.(Round played: Oct 2019 - Score: 89 Handicap: 18.5)

Nice course, in good condition. It's a challenge, especially when you are very badly hungover! If you're a big hitter you'll have plenty of chances to pick up shots as its a relatively short course.
