Not value for money

This course could be great but isn't. Greens were average, fairways had grass cuttings all over them, not worth the ?20 to play. Originally quoted ?25. We also spent the day following a 5 ball, enough said.

Tee’s in poor condition, especially the front 9, also some bunkers. The greens are just recovering from being tinned and sanded.

Lovely course but you definitely need a buggy. It's situated on the side of a hill and every hole is either a slog up or a tricky run down. The green are also very slow and I struggled to get the putter working. Nice staff and a lovely smile greeted us after our round.
