Nice course, challenging steep angled fairways at times, greens in fairly good condition. A little short on yellow so best to play off the whites. Course maintained pretty well, needs more distance markers, no bunkers was unusual.
Food, drink fairly priced and good quality. Staff very polite and helpful in both the pro shop and the restaurant. Will certainly play again.

Not too bad if its been wet. Quite tight on some holes. Very undulating fairways lots of Knolls and hollows around the greens. Hanging lies. Fast greens. Some good holes. 18th a belter.

Only played the West Course, not The Old Course. Very user friendly, typical faiways and greens found on forest courses, and while quite short is still a good test. No bunkers to worry about but you may find yourself with a linksy type lie on the fairway.

Improving with new drainage system

rough was lush and wet. But, fairways were generous. Some signs of issues on greens but didnt affect the game. Plenty of signs to show drainage is improving with some exposed ditches in play and plaenty of sanded tracks. However none affected the play at all. How this slope index is so low, I have no idea. Should be at least in the 120's!!

Tight and challenging course

Course was in great condition, greens fast, rough knee length in places so needed to keep it tight and on the fairways, but a really enjoyable game! Need boards on the tees though showing hole layout, length, stroke index etc., as the marker stones were extremely difficult to find and overgrown in places.
