What no Coffee

Course was in good condition, but some of the greens are poor (bare batches).
At long last the Halway House has re-opened, but didn’t have any coffee or hot snacks readily available. However as a goodwill gesture we were not charged for our teas.

Two challenging courses.

Two great courses (the second course was 1.5 miles away), several holes with water and elevated greens surrounded by bunkers. Some long par 4's as well as dog legs which required precision. Courses were very hilly. Buggies at ?40.00 were expensive. All the staff were friendly and helpful but there weren't enough staff in the bar so getting a drink took a while. Room and food were lovely. Would come back again.
