Nice building, good but expensive food and drink. Course in poor condition, both tees and bunkers. Hotel needs some TLC.(Round played: Sep 2020 - Score: 120 Handicap: 19.5)

Course could be absolutely beautiful, but it isn't. It hosts 2 of the most picturesque par 3 holes I've ever seen, yet they're not well maintained so they don't look anywhere near as good as they could. Greens are in reasonable conditions, bunkers are below average with large pools of water (despite no rain for over 24 hours) and tee boxes are not well looked-after at all.

Need to invest in some serious money for drainage. Bunkers are like ponds - walkways between greens and next tee box is swamped.

The course let the whole place down, everything else was good or excellent. Layout of the course is poor with many fairway bunkers which you can't see off the tee.The par 3's are very picturesque and challenging, if generally short. Course design doesn't give you a lot to aim at off the tee, condition very poor (May 2010)with greens the slowest that I have EVER played. Staff very friendly, particularly in Pro shop.

A very nice location with some very nice holes. Condition of the course has always been very good. The style of course leaves some fairly long walks between holes.For me the course is spoilt by the fact that they seem to have gone fairway bunker crazy, not a problem for the first few holes but very frustrating after 18.

This course is a really good layout with some good holes and options on tee boxes. Par 3s are very good, be better if they mixed up the distances a bit as were all short from yellows. You can tell this used to be a very good course but now lacks the investment to keep it in top condition. From a value point of view for ?20 it's a steal. Long walks between tees so get a buggy if you struggle.

Good resort course
For a resort course was in excellent condition, greens were in great nick and all in play despite frost. Some interesting par 3's and open enough so at just over 6k yards was an enjoyable golfing experience . ?15 green fee as hotel guest was excellent value.Reviewer Rating

The conditions were abit splodgy but then what can you expect in January! Wonderful course though and I'll definitely play again when the weather improves. Some amazingly scenic but challenging holes.

I only visit here once every few years. Some lovely holes. Not enough money put into the course to keep it in the standard it deserves. Unfortunately staff in the pub are less than helpful and prices are above average.

This has been my home course this season and over the summer it has been in extremely good condition although I didn't get to play it as much as I would've liked to! The course is fairly long and unless you want to be hitting long irons to the green you need to get a decent drive away. All of the 4 par 3's have water involved and are a decent test the par 5's are long as you'd expect in particular the 13th with a double leg first left then right to a mounded green protected by a burn at the front and sides. This course is a good test and I would recommend you give it a go however it can get a bit wet during the winter months and is sometimes kept open when it should really be closed.
