Fantastic course in brilliant condition

The title says it all. Incredible quality fairways and greens. A course subject to wind with some very tough holes including several Par 3’s

Decent

Decent for the twilight rate of ?27. Greens are ok, quality of the tee markings was very disappointing (think first cut rough). Wouldn't pay full price green fee.

Never know what to make of Merlin some holes are fab with good layout, others need maintenance work and especially the rough and gist ways just are barely mowed back fairway might as well be rough at times and rough is penal often lose ball as several inches deep and unplayable
Great location and views shame above sometimes let's it down

Worth a visit

This course would be very hard when the wind is blowing, we played in light winds 10 mph and found it hard you need to flight the ball down. Greens was nice and true to put on nice course not to many hills, recommend

Nice course, but could be better

A few greens have suffered due to the recent heatwave. Course could be improved if green staff finished jobs off that they started e.g. bunker on the 2nd has been GUR for months. Some investment required to bring it up to the standard of other courses in the area.

Lawn mower was broken so grass was long, we weren’t informed prior to teeing off, long story short, over priced. Looks like they are used to tourists and taking them for granted. Shame, maybe we didn’t see the course at its best……………don’t take tourists for granted.

Played on 1st July & greens were heavily sanded- possibly the slowest I have ever putted on.\ Tees uncut & chewed up.\ Clover everywhere on fairways.\ Course layout poor.\ Never again.
