Slow greens and GUR Bunkers
Didn't go in any bunkers but all bar a couple had water in them. Greens reseptive if coming from a height but still ran on if low. Good day putting and 2nd 9 got driving under control but damage was done on 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and especially on 9th yet again. This time hit left , hit tree came out, skipped on path, hit bush, shot back and ......lost! Emotional roller coaster.Reviewer Rating

In good condition but greeens bahaving irrationally
First bit of rain for a few weeks overnight and some of the greens seem to have soften up but you couldn't tell which ones. Made it difficult to judge approach shots. Tees look a little worn but enough grass and slopes to make it interesting. Fairways in good nick.Reviewer Rating

Several irritations
We found this course to be quite frustrating for a number of reasons. Yes it is a challenging course in it's design, but several factors that the club are in control of made it all the more challenging. A number of the holes such as the 2nd, 4th etc are so dramatically sloping that even hitting a good tee shot well down one side of the fairway can result it your ball ending up in the rough on the opposite side. This would not have been so bad except for the fact that the rough to the sides of the fairways was so long and thick that it made finding your golf ball often impossible. As a case in point, one member of my party walked to where he knew the golf ball to have landed and all of our party searched for it. In the end we found it exactly where he had stopped with his trolley, but we'd all walked past it several times and not seen it as the rough was so thick. Even where some areas had recently been mowed, the cuttings were left strewn about, which again meant balls could be easily obscured under the dried loose grass. I don't think I have ever lost more balls on a round of golf.Another factor that might have made the course easier or more palatable could have been to include the hole designs on the scorecards. Unfortunately they have instead opted for pictures of the greens. While that could be useful to some people, you need to get there first. For example, on the second hole there is a marker post to aim for, but you don't know how far to hit, whether it dog-legs left or right and can't see from the tee-box.
In a couple of places on the course it is not even clear where the next hole is from the last green and on the 10th hole we weren't sure if we should be hitting our second shots left over the path or right up the dog-leg hill.
Several of the bunkers had lots of stones in them.
The car park also has large pot-holes by the exit.
