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.

Nice to see the course still as I remember it
In reasonable condition for the time of year, a short but sometimes tricky track with the stand out gem being the 9th steep downhill par 3.Reviewer Rating

First visit
Enjoyed the round I played, some challenging holes, hilly holes and some flat. Need to be on your game with uphill and downhill lies. Not long but would play some holes differently now knowing the course. 9th lovely par 3. 10th real challenge. Good condition fairways. Greens were pretty fast, honestly a bit patchy but still fair condition.Friendly staff. Will play it again, found it good value for money. Will return buggy and golf for £25 weekend afternoon such good value.Reviewer Rating

Good to be back and in good nick
Been a bit of time since we were here. Today was the goodbye to QEII and so was another BH. The players came out at @ 13:30 so was busy!!Lucky start after a couple of bad shots and overall played steady. Much more so in the 2nd 9 with 4 pars, 3 in a row at one point. Gave a few shots back on 2nd and 15th!! Easy win in 2nd half as Mike fell apartReviewer Rating
