Looking forward to playing this "Hidden Gem"...Unfortunately disappointed before we started at 10:40am.... No bar facilities open just a complicated coffee dispenser.
One of our four ball had trouble getting to the course so we were left with a 3. This was the second disappointment, we had to pay a suppliment as it was originally booked as a 4 ball...even though we were the only non members at the course that day , there was no discretion. we nearly left to find a friendlier club. But as none of us has this notch on our bed post so to speak we carried on. The course in general is not bad at all but nothing special for the high fees that are charged in the summer , let alone winter.
The greens were the saving grace,although extremely slow !! true and in great conition considering the weather we have had. There are 4 or 5 lovely holes that need to be thought out, but for me driver , wedge with a couple of exeptions made for a boring outing.

Great views & interesting holes
Enjoyed a first-time twilight visit on Saturday evening for ?30 which is good value I think. Great weather helped but the views were really good and I expect it could be pretty windy as the course is quite high up and some holes are fairly exposed. The course generally presented nicely with heather, majestic pines and some gorse too, and though the fairways were pretty rugged most of the time it didn't affect the experience. Greens were good without being anything special but lots of subtle slopes makes for some challenging reads. Varied layout with some interesting holes. We had the place to ourselves but otherwise seemed friendly towards visitors. I don't live locally and there are so many other good courses to try in the area, but I would return.Reviewer Rating

Nice tree lined course. Dry in the summer but overall a nice golf course and would recommend. Keep to the fairway and you'll be fine as it's not an overly long golf course.

This is not a course for high handicappers. Genuine heathland, with huge pine trees and plenty of heather/gorse - you are penalised for inaccurate fairway shots. It favours big hitters and those with a well-balanced set of skills as there is a variety of challenges, including the many bunkers scattered across the entire course. No water but a ditch on the 12th. The 18th features a tee shot over the road leading to the car park. The green is also surrounded by three bunkers so an accurate tee shot is vital.

As a local, it's taken me a while to play here but glad I did. A hidden gem, a golf course which really gets you thinking. Lots of challenge with tight fairways, undulations, mature pines and bunkering.
Only wonder is a few of the par 3s are very short and on a still day, quite benign.
Friendly welcome in the pro shop and good value twilight rate. Thank you.

A true heathland course, offering a variety of challenges for all level of golfers. The many pine trees can cause problems if you hit a wayward ball into the rough and some of the fairways slope deceptively so you have to play a strategic game, mapping your way around the course.

Challenging Heathland course in very good condition. Not very long but watch out if you are not straight - you are very likely to be punished. You need to think your way round here, making sure you go for position rather than distance. The greens are good and reasonably fast for this time of year. Small friendly clubhouse, with good food. Greenfees as reasonable, especially if playing with a member.
