Worth a visit

We played the Old course on the last day before lockdown 2.0 in early November. It was our first visit and I will definitely be back one day, hopefully to play the West course as well. We had a friendly welcome and despite lots of rain in previous weeks, we were blessed with fabulous weather, adding to the already stunning scenery. The course itself held up very well in the wet conditions; only on two holes was it actually an issue and then only minor really, so a good off season option as many courses were waterlogged that week. Definitely glad there was no wind on the day though, that would've really increased the test. Some of the holes were pretty straightforward but enough interest with hills, heather and trees. Will be a fairly challenging walk for some. Would recommend.

Short, but tricky

Although a short course, there are many challenging holes requiring good shot placement.

Holding up well in the wet

Lovely short course. Tricky holes and different each one. Greens are a good pace and not "damp" but enough to leave craters when hitting from high. Not a lot of run but what do you expect at this time of year. Overall well worth a visit....especially with the offer of 18 holes plus food for ?5 less than the Green Fee!!!

Very old school with bags of charm. Great clubhouse and a warm welcome. Course is a good challenge and plenty of undulations to make it a good exercise too!

Very nice course, greens are well guarded. Back 9 is very hilly. Played at a reduced rate, not sure I'd pay full price.

Lovely little course - Shame so wet

Considering amount of rain not surprising that last few greens had standing water...especially 16th. However great short course. Testing holes with many hollows to negotiate but no bunkers. Marking for next tee could be better but after a couple of rounds fairly obvious. Premium on straight and accuratacy.

Best Winter course conditions

OK SO NOT QUITE OUT OF oCTOBER BUT COURSE WAS IN GREAT SHAPE. The greens have very suttle boroughs to defend against length. One critism, not very well makred to next tee in a lot of places.

Greens were good, fairways sloping as ever but alot of the harsh penalising grass was cut back, so less time wasted looking for lost balls

Lovely golf course. Quite hilly (good for the thighs!) ... the greens were a little bobbly still, but that could be the time of year.
Overall a fab course!
