The course greens were the worse greens I've played on for a long time. A lot of bare patches. Wouldn't recommend

Great layout but it isn't made the most of. In part might be due to ongoing ground works but not always so. Green side bunkers are incredibly inconsistent, some are in decent condition but many have no sand or are badly compacted. Some paths, tees and green surrounds are badly worn and it is possible to get a lie on hardpan clay just feet from the green side. In parts the course looks a little scruffy. Also there are some quirky features that don't seem to make sense. For example 3rd hole has a steeply right to left sloping fairway that pulls drives down to the left semi. The presence of a series of artificial mounds can punish even the best of drives.

Potentially a memorable course as every hole has a distinctive character, but the condition is a letdown. This and a somewhat unwelcoming greeting in the clubhouse do not do its' potential justice.

Course in very good condition. They only have distance markers in the middle of the fairway - you are lost for distance especially if you are a visitor. A very strange setup regarding buggies - they had four and now non is available? All the other clubs around have buggies and are sanitised with out any problem.....?

It's a good course but on some holes on the back nine it a bit dangerous with holes crossing

The course is over all challenging and in good condition. Extrensive work is being carried out on holes 1-5 making them unplayable. What the course lacked is sufficient directions to the next holes

Played this course for the first time and found it very enjoyable. Fantastic views from many tees and many different styles of holes making use of most of the clubs in my bag. I'd definitely play it again. The only slight criticism is the quality of the bunkers - they are very firm.

great condition despite the heatwave

played yesterday. Throughly enjoyable golfing experience. Hard fast fairways gave extra run to the tee ball but the greens were lush and true. This course requires a strategic plan off the tee as it can be penal if you are off line.Some challenging short holes again needing careful play due to the baked condition of the course. Food etc and clubhouse welcome were excellent as usual.

Great course

Play every year in the Summer and always in great condition. Not long but the holes provide a good array of variety with some quirks making the course an enjoyable and memorable venue to play. Friendly welcome and tip top condition from tee to green make this a must play course if you are in the area.

Lovely lay out, worth a visit !

On my mission to have played 200 courses in my life, my pal and I visited this course in October 2020 mid coronavirus issues. The greens had been under maintenance prior to our round so the channels on the greens made for some fun putts but maintenance has to be done, so I can't knock the course for that and they reduced the fee accordingly. The course has a really interesting layout with some lovely outlooks across valleys to castles and other viewing points. Every hole different and a relatively easy course with open fairways in and around undulating hills, valleys and streams. Some great greens and reachable par 5?s. Only thing I would say is that some tee off points are very close to greens and in case crossed one another, I find it hard to hit towards people even if they are on another tee, maybe that's just me. But the course is lovely and the food afterwards was top notch too. Watch out for the very thick trees in front of the 18th green where my mates ball still remains to this day !
