OK but wouldn't return
Stayed for 3 nights with 3 rounds of golf on championship and premier courses, hotel was decent and food good. Both course the tee boxes are shocking, uneven and like teeing up on poor fairways, the Premier course has the better layout with some nice holes but the greens were poor, the championship course was OK and greens abit better but even before the summer the greens and course was baked hard. Playing into greens was abit of a lottery with some strange bounces. All in all it was OK but I wouldn't return.Reviewer Rating

The greens are a credit to the green keepers, however the members need to understand the golf rules (5 hour round) in a 2 ballReviewer Rating

The 2 Days & 2 rounds of Golf we played were most enjoyable, our group first played the the Championship course our Tee 2 off time were spot on, the level of play also quite comfortable as was the course,. the course layout was very scenic and tendered.
on completion of first day play we checked in to the hotel at ease and settled in to tradition 19th hole round of drinks.
A short break for us for powerful shower experience & change from Golf gear, we regrouped at the bar which was followed up by an evening meal. The option on the menu were some limited and the service was slower then we desired, amongst our group we had a gentlemen who is diabetic and required a quicker service, this was rapidly corrected and was followed up Free round of Drinks from the management, the rest evening service was excellent.
Next morning we awoke to excellent breakfast followed by a round of golf on the Premier golf course.
We planning to revisit in September with the extended group, we would recommend the facility to all enjoy.
