Course holding up well for winter
Course in fairly good condition fairways really playable & rough is fair. Same old issue with the bunkers though either flooded or bare with any sand being more like an aggregate base for cement not the nice soft stuff. Other than the sand though course is really looking good & with today's high winds very tricky on some holes.(Round played: Jan 2018 - Score: 88 Handicap: 15.7)

Unsurprisingly course a bit muddy due to weather / time of year. Good value at £10 for 9 holes after 1:30pm. No one on course and managed to get full 18 in :-)

Excellent course with excellent facilities, this course is definitely one you have to plan your shots around it’s not a long drive chip and putt. No hole is the same all very different which I love. A buggy is a must I’d say as it’s quite hilly. There is a very nice restaurant and American Golf shop onsite. The green fees are very reasonable. Also onsite there is a pitch and putt and foot golf course.

Course in great condition greens running well. Slow play for last 6 holes a bit frustrating as they could have let us through.

Course in great condition greens very good. Rough has been cut right back so you can now find slightly errant shots. This I think makes the course a lot fairer. Some of the bunkers are really poor being rock solid with little or no sand and all have loads of stones. These are not marked gur so really need work if they are in play. Would have said excellent if not for bunkers.

Excellent golf course very challenging and hilly, greens are in very good condition but are difficult to read. I would recommend this course to anyone but a buggy is a must in my opinion. The facilities and staff are exceptional great bar area driving range with an American golf store onsite.

Its a neat course with some tight holes and good elevation changes on a number of holes which makes the course interesting to play. The course isn't the longest with only two of the eighteen holes being over 400 yards, but it does give you a lot of opportunities to shoot a low score if you get a good tee shot away. Also good for someone who wants a course to test their short iron play into greens. Greens were slightly frozen, but would put that down to the time of year. Will play again

Quite a difficult course and the owners have put a lot of effort into improving it. The bunkers need more sand.
