Tricky Fairways
Too many fairways crossed over or were too close for comfortExcellent greens and friendly service in the club house

course was heavy but I guess we are in November. Greens bumpy and not running true but apart from that a nice golf course with some good holes and very good value for money at £13.We were held up by 4 members who were extremely slow.

Average course. Some nice holes. Would recommend that you at least give it a try. Still a bit muddy in places despite a couple of days of sunshine. Give it a try though.

Having played Penn quite some years ago, I was looking forward to playing there again. Upon signing in, I was told I would see some changes, and that I did. However I would not say they were the for the better. It appears to be have been opened up considerably, meaning that a wayward tee shot is not punished as I found out, still having a shot into the green on the Second Hole. The course was extremely wet, to the point whereby I would not have opened the course for play, which is something that has dampened my view of the course.
Having said that once you get past the first few holes and get to what could be considered the truest more heath land part for the course, it is very picturesque, and challenging too. The Par 3's would be difficult if they were not on temporary tees (Artificial). It isn't a long course for the most part, and a careful approach on the tee will put you in good stead. Most of the trouble is clear able with a decent 5 Iron. A word for the brave, if you do miss fairway in certain parts of the course, don't expect to be scoring well.
The greens although heavily waterlogged ran true, and were pretty pacey. It was just a shame that the weather conditions made it extremely difficult to play a normal game of golf. Balls plugging in the middle of the fair way, isn't great even if winter rules are in place.
I would play again in peak summer to get a taste in better weather.
Final Thoughts: Green Fee Paid was more than reasonable, course in parts was very nice, (Similar to Enville but not to the standard), however I wouldn't be rushing back to play there in the immediate future

A nice course , BUT, still quite boggy in parts given a couple of days of good sunshine. Overall enjoyable and would certainly play there again. When I asked was told it closes quite often due to the weather when bad. Try it yourself and see.

Average course, no real stand out holes. Interesting location on the common. Wind howls across the open landscape. Fairways firm and bouncy, greens in good condition and quite fast. Friendly staff

A fairly decent course, however there were 10 of us and using Five 2 Fore 1 Vouchers it still cost £20 per head. And £20 for a buggy so not a cheap day out. My overall opinion is in summer it would be a lovely course. Still not worth £40 green fee personally. may visit again in summer using vouchers.

The first time I had played here for a number of years. Good test for all abilities. I would like to play again in the summer when the course is dry as it will play completely different.

Nice course apart from dog walker with dog and no lead on the tee I think they should be encouraged to use the footpaths rather than the golf course.
