Stunning historic course
A simply stunning historic course set in fantastic surroundings. The 6th oldest in the world make this venue worth the visit and green fee alone. A nice test with lovely holes in very good condition. A gorgeous clubhouse, a simply stocked shop and practice facilities. A very warm welcome made the day very pleasurable. Must play.Reviewer Rating

Played in 3 ball visiting party. Friendly welcome from the pro and accommodating as he offered us an earlier tee time. The staff and club members afterwards also friendly and welcoming.
The course itself was a treat, well kept fairways, bunkers and impressive tees as wells. Greens were excellent despite there being an obvious downpour during the morning.
Will recommend this course to anyone.
