Pretty good

Quite a good course overall, fairly open and tricky in some places, loads of bunkers and the pins were in awkward places in very quick greens

Challenging Course

Excellent course in fantastic condition, tricky in parts a course you definitely have to think your way around. The facilities here are amazing with a lovely bar area with friendly staff. The driving range is nice and there is also an American Golf shop onsite. There are also lots for the family here as there’s an adventure golf course for the kids and also a foot golf and academy course.

As stated it needs rain

Played yesterday and the course is running so fast . Balls going more than 50 yards further than normal . Thus have to allow for that . Greens are running slow as they have been allowed to grow for protection . Bunkers are poor . Played at twilight and around in 3 hours and price very good . Long walks between tees . Think this would be a good winter course if it drains well as not too long and has some interesting looking holes .
