Gone Downhill

I used to play this course often and tried to join butbthe waiting list was too long (up to 7 years!). Unfortunately, in the last 5-10 years, the course has gotten steadily worse, both in condition (inconsistent greens...) and opening up through temoving trees. \\It has lost somewhat that feel of being on the course by yourself in your group which was special. I don’t know whether it’s a greens issue or a difficulty issue, but the affect has been to make a tricky, interesting course for scratch +/-3, to a less fulfilling experience.\\High handicappers are happier with the easier course but still preferred the ‘old course’, the older ones who remember, anyway. They aren’t happy with the trees being cut as it’s more open. The greens never needed such radical change to be excellent. I played in the Open regional qualifiers and they were a dream, even when wet.\\A lot of money has been spent I hear, but on the evidence, not well. Hopefully they have a long term vision as the setting will,always be supreme.\\I really liked this course and it’s sad it has gone this way.

Wet but good

A fantastically laid out golf course with some challenging blind shots & a couple of quirky holes (You definitely need someone who knows the course first time round). It probably misses a really challenging par 3, but overall very good.
It was very wet, but I thought the greens were pretty good considering. Only 1 winter green.
The welcome from the pro's, the staff & the members was excellent & the steak pie after the game was superb.
The weather & the conditions spoiled the game, but I'd like to see this course in the summer.

Not what I thought it would be like.

Surprisingly this is a past open qualifying venue but for some reason the past 2 times I have been the greens have been really bobbly and inconsistent. The bunkers looked like they have just been forgot about which is not how they should be maintained. The drainage is another issue aswel. Very surprised to be honest I bet the members are really annoyed at the price they have to pay aswel. The only good thing is the layout this could be a really good course with proper work done to it. Also range was shut when I went so only had a net to hit a couple of shots into.

The course has a drainage issue, I excepted the fact there was a bit of rain previous to my round but every fairway had a substantial water build up. The layout of the course is fair but unkempt in places. All the greens were bobbly and needed a good rolling. On a good note the tee beds are in good nick.
With a bit of money (and they have it) they could solve the majority of these issues and make it into the course it's written up to be

Enjoyable experience

The round started with a few frustrations- i put my head around the door of the shop and it seems to have become a practice studio. So I went to play. I waited a few moments after my tee off time as there were two players ahead- both playing two balls, as it turned out- the first two holes took almost 30 minutes by which time I was caught up by the group behind.

The course always looks good- it seems the rough is a little more forgiving than it has been. On the downside, quite a few of the greens offer bobbly putting and seem to be inconsistent when it comes to speed from hole to hole. A number had sand on- one of my putts turned almost 90 degrees through sand!

Fairly busy on a beautiful Monday- but once the two juniors gave up it was a good pace of play.

With the condition of the greens, the full price green fee would be at least heading towards 'poor value' especially considering the excellence of greens at some other local courses for substantially less expense.

Excellent pro shop with helpful and knowledgeable staff. Clubhouse staff and course artisans all welcoming and friendly. The snack food and full dinner buffet were all good.

The course is now presented superbly. On going work to some variable bunkers and the reducing of the number of trees should pay dividends over time. My only negative is the impact a stoney cart track can have on your card. It runs just in front of the 15th and 17th greens and too much is left to chance on these holes which are par 4's.

Otherwise a really good day out!

Thanks all.

I REALLY REALLY do not know if I played the same course as the players who left good reviews. I played at the August Open 16 and it was dire. I have been here as a visitor many years and up until 5 years ago enjoyed every one. Now it looks unloved and tatty. the greens were appalling condition and just tatty all round. My friend who invited me said he pays £1100 a year to play that is twice what it should be. My meal afterwards was sent back it was inedible.

A great course with some stunning views and a couple of stunning holes. The scenery from the 14th tee is breath taking. There are blind tee shots and drivable par 4s. The par 5 alongside the train track is a great hole demanding an accurate shot off the tee.
