Great course

Lovely course, with great course layouts with plenty of dog legs and some really tight and challenging holes.

full on course, enjoyed the challenge

booked this as a package - 2 rounds, dinner b&b, but there was a golfbreaks competition on the same course, constantly being pushed around and letting groups through as we were without buggies and slightly slower.

Sadly disappointed

Not played here for a couple of years (covid). But sadly won't be returning for a bit. At ?25 a round the course was not in good condition and needs work. Rocks in bunkers, greens in poor condition and not consistent. The edges of the course were in serious need of attention.

Society visit

2 day trip and played the 2 main courses.
Both courses are in decent nick. Tee boxes could do with a little work and the greens maybe not in their best condition but overall they are decent courses.
Hotel was nice enough

Interesting test

Greens are a bit uneven, and the club house could do with a refurb, but generally a nice course to play.
