Really poor service in the club house. All staff seem to be occupied and bar was unmanned. Course ok but much better options locally. A guy became aggressive when I parked my car in a marker bay whilst I unloaded my trolley, I had 'stopped' in the treasures space.... Sorry. AVOID! AWFUL!

Where to start?
We paid just under £30 per head for a society day which included breakfast and 18 holes. A word of warning they do not sell pork being a Jewish owned club so breakfast consisted of one dry beef sausage, an overcooked egg and some beans and toast. This was not really an issue, the main problem was the state of the course. We were not able to use any tee boxes and had to tee off from the rough in front of the tee box. They had not bothered to cut the grass which resulted in the grass being longer than the tee. Also it meant all holes were shorter than the red tees. The par 3's used temporary tees where you were unable to place a tee peg. The greens were also terrible. One of the holes had several rolls of turf surrounding the bunker for some reason. The pitch and putt in my local park is in much better condition.
The clubhouse does not sell draught beer so you pay almost £3 for a can of Fosters if you are lucky enough to get served.
Definitely one to avoid.

Paid £45 for 2 rounds, we had played here before so knew what to expect from the layout of the course, which is short, but enough to keep you interested. The differences this time around were a number of things. \- The grass around and in the practice nets had not been mown for weeks and were in generally terrible state of repair.... how difficult can it be?\- The bunkers were a disgrace, no attempt to even make the best out of poor sand, not even raked despite us being the first on the course.\- Areas of the beaten track were generally in poor states of repair.\- The club house and facilities.... where to start. The reception inside was actually borderline hostile. No beer on tap, but as a CAMRA member surely you can do better than Fosters or Carlsber as the lager options, and a couple of bottled bitters?\- We ordered 4 cans of beer, one of which was poured infested with flies, not sure if it was the can or the glass, but whichever!\- Then it came to food, no menu, so we were asked to tell the guy what we wanted.... We were unaware it was a Jewish club so the request for a standard ham egg and chips went down like a lead balloon. A straight \"we\'re a jewish club, so we dont do ham\" would have sufficed, but the barman decided to engage us in a rather strange game of charades, and responded with, we don\'t do ham at this club. Ok what do you have - tell me what you want - well I just told you what we wanted and you dont do that, so here\'s an idea why dont you tell us what you have like every other golf club in the country would? Beef sausages (cremated) eventually turned out to be the only hot option! awful.\- The course is nice, but the club house is so poorly run we wont be back.

Better condition than last played in April, greens good, fairways good , shame the club is not open for hospitality to green fee paying guests.

Relatively short course but with very tight greens amking this course an interesting challenge. Typical parkland course with many drainage ditches coming into play.
