Bought groupon deal to play today bacon sandwich lovely golf course is a disgrace walked off after 3 holes. Greens are not green the bunkers got more weeds in than sand. The fairways full of dandelions and not kept. Very disappointing.

Played the course in glorious April weather and the views from the course were superb. The layout is good, holes interesting and the fairways and greens generous for a higher handicapper. However the whole experience was seriously let down by the quality of the course which is a massive shame as the place clearly has potential. Whilst the fairways and rough were were managed well (the greenkeeper was cutting them at the time of play) the greens were the worst I've played on (serious fungal problem or something - spongy and seriously bumpy - didn't look like they were been treated either) and the tee-boxes not much better - long and spongy.

First of all, do not waste your time and money attempting to play here!
I say attempt as you can NOT actually play proper golf for the following reasons;
The fairways are not actual fairways and more like the second cut of rough on a proper golf course … searching for your golf ball on a fair way due to long grass should never happen!
The rough will claim countless golf balls, it is like a jungle as another reviewer has stated. It’s difficult enough playing on the so called fairways but if you go in the rough, forget it! Completely unplayable if your ball can even be found which in itself would be a minor miracle!
The greens or I should say browns! They are a dead mossy mess with cracks and divots! Putting cannot be taken seriously at all, the ball would run more true on a crazy golf course. Why haven’t they been watered and looked after?! What do members and visitors pay their money for?
The majority of bunkers are basically gravel pits with weeds growing through.
The tees which are often only identified by the markers are not cut often enough, it can be like teeing off from the light rough.
To sum it up, a frustratingly, horrible, abomination of a so called golf course! I have given up with it after persevering for too long! Such a shame as only a year ago, it was a reasonably well kept golf course, with interesting holes and a pleasure to play. It has plummeted at an alarming rate in to a neglected hay field with flags.
To the owner, take an interest, spend some money and sort it out please. Until that time, I would advise all to avoid!
P.S. Don’t even bother with the driving range either, the machine rarely works, there are limited golf balls and you will often have to collect your own (if you can find them in the long grass). Total waste of time and effort!

Never felt compelled to leave a bad review on a golf course but on this occasion I must. Now, it is only £10 for 9 holes but I have honestly seen gardens in better condition. I do not want to come across rude so I will be objective. The fairways were more akin to light rough, full of daisies and dandelions. The rough wasn't too long but was full of grass cuttings. The bunkers were full of stones and grass growing from underneath the sand and the greens were dead, literally. The turf had lifted from the soil and was black with cracks everywhere. To use the course as a field to hit a ball, fine. This isn't a golf course though and anyone with expectations of having an enjoyed round will find the course a waste of money, albeit not much money.
