Very nice course. Well maintained with good greens, lower rough and nice tee boxes. There are some interesting holes and plays well for the shorter or longer hitter giving only a few opportunities for Driver off the tee.

not a great start for our little group as one of us was told he couldn't use the toilet as 'there had been thefts recently'(?!) Day got better though, short game area and a short range available, and nice nets near the clubhouse. New holes are maturing very well, just as good condition as the original parts of the course. Tees all neatly marked, bunkers superb, fairways and greens hard to fault, some nice contouring on the new holes especially.
That said, there are still a few niggles. Greenkeeper on a noisy mower oblivious to us. Far too many (minor) roads crossing the course, constantly have to wait for cars. Common land means lots of dog walkers(although no mess that I saw). Most of all though, I just don't think they have made the best use of the (very large) acreage now available. The course is still very short, hardly need a driver at all, and there are still back to back par 3's.
New clubhouse is superb and bar staff friendly, making up for the earlier incident, but I can't help but feel there is a much better course in this pleasant setting that is just waiting to be let out. As it is, a little underrated on here, I'd have it at least in the 15-20 range of herts golf courses.

Course plays short after dry weather. Tees and greens in very good shape despite yellowing fairways. Flat course so easy to walk.

Nice course, lovely pleasant setting. Greens had undergone some maintenance when i played in August so were not true -but will be lovely soon I am sure. Liked the quite forgiving fairways/adjacent fairways (especially on the new section of the course) - so was good for my ocassional slice off the tee! Playing in charity golf match in October so don't mind the 100 mile trip(Round played: Aug 2014 - Score: 85 Handicap: 17.2)

Always a good test with 2 types of course in 1. There is the old 9 holes which is more mature and situated on common land - be careful of the horses and dog walkers! The other 9 is more open, but the trees are starting to grow and this will be very demanding over the next couple of years. Greens are generally good and I always enjoy the course whenever I play there.
Good for a society day as the food is excellent and good value for money
