A really friendly club and a course with just enough of a challenge, especially when the wind gets up!

Edward - Plymouth rated 4 out of 5

Reviewed Jun 11 2018

I've played Merlin 2 or 3 times now in a society, most recently in May. I feel as if the course is coming on leaps and bounds and it just keeps going from strength to strength. Course is always presented well, its very well priced for how good the course is. The clubhouse is neat and tidy and the staff are always helpful and cheerful. Got a driving range so you can practice before your round (if you can call it practicing, more like gearing up for my awful golf). All in all a lovely club I don't know how anyone could moan about the course or the price. Thoroughly looking forward to playing here again in July.
