Another price per round, seems to change every time I go. Fairways have been damaged by crows but I wasn't told this prior to playing or I would not have gone out. To their credit when I raised my concern I was refunded half my green fees.

As a three ball we played this course on the morning of Sunday 29th June. No more than 6 cars in the car park. The guy standing in had no details of our booking and there was no food to be had so he did give us a good deal for a single round of golf. The grass had not been cut due to problems with the cutter. Based on this visit the course is in dire need of some TLC, the fairways were longish, the rough thick and the greens were slow to putt on but the ball bounced like it had just hit concrete when landing on the green. It was not an enjoyable round, no atmosphere at all, but you can see the potential and what it has been like in the past.

I played the course late june 2014. Grass cutting machinery had been out of action for a little while so fairways a little long, but perfectly playable. Greens in pretty good condition and the course was very enjoyable to play. Unfortunately SIM (the owner?) had been called away to a family crisis so no one was available to cook. However we were made very welcome by the staff and person standing in and by the members we met during the round. Staff had just started cutting all the grass again and it is certainly a course I would enjoy playing again. Need to be fairly straight as lots of tree lined fairways and water hazards including one bunker with water and ducks swimming in it ;-), plus other normal water hazards. I can't recall seeing any sand bunkers, all grass bunkers. Very good value for money.

The course was in good condition and the rough was not to punishing. Excellent food after the round in the club house.

I played the course several years ago and can appreciate where some of the negative comments are coming from. However I played a 4 ball with family members at the weekend and was more than pleasantly surprised by how the course has improved! The greens are in excellent condition and the fairways are spotless, clearly they have heeded the "advice" given on here and spent some money on the course. The new clubhouse is also a welcome addition and I will certainly be returning.

I'm not sure what the folks speaking so negatively about the course were expecting - I found the course enjoyable, challenging and great value for money. The course has been maintained well and showing no real signs of the recent bad weather. Lovely views of the local scenery and a variety of holes make for an enjoyable game. Overall, good price and a great day out.

Played 21.9.13. After phoning the previous Thursday to ensure 2 fore 1 vouchers can be used on the Saturday and book a tee time, you can imagine my angst to be told by a different member of staff that they couldn't be used. To be fair to the member of staff, once he found out that we had driven an hour and a half to get there he let us use them. Then we got told that there were 15 members of a society teeing off in my booked tee slot!! Again, kudos to the same member of staff as he offered us to start from Hole 10 and do the back 9 first, which we did.
The course, very tight and probably 6 holes too many for the space available. Greens were very poor and could have used a lot more sign age to show where to go next. Or even signs that can be read. Lots of water and would have liked to see sand in some of the bunkers.
It seems to me that all available funds have been spent on the upgrade of the clubhouse to the detriment to the course.
Score by the way 104 gross 28 handicap.

Reviewed Jul 9 2013
First time I've played the course and I must say I was a little apprehensive after reading a fair few negative reviews, however, within the first couple of holes I knew I was in for a pleasant round. Not a long course by any standards but a couple of the holes are tricky due to some well placed hazards meaning driver off the tee is a no-no. Plenty to keep you thinking on your way round anyway. Only a couple of negatives really which was the lack of signage on the way round the course and lack of map on the scorecard, as a first time player there were a few times I had no idea where I was hitting to and made selecting a shot impossible. Greens could do with a bit of work and although firm they're not the smoothest nor the fastest around. For £12.50 for a mid-week round you really can't complain. Very nice surroundings and a few picture perfect holes. Will be playing again.
