Excellent facilities, excellent staff in all areas, green fee is a bit steep as the course plays well but the condition needs a bit of work

Good But!!!!

This Course starts off a little boring but gets much better and more difficult, however the walk between Tees is a Killer. Otherwise Decent round of Golf

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.

Reviewed Jan 23 2017

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

Good facilities and tough course with plenty of water, including some unintential standing water. It would be better to have some directional signs telling you where the next tee is. Also, pretty hilly so you need good strong legs!
