Played on a twilight rate of £15 on 30th April 2014, and received a warm welcome in the clubhouse as a first time visitor
As others have said, the rough is dense in places and the grass on some fairways and most green approaches needed cutting. Lots of standing water on a few fairways, (7th, 11th, 14th & 16th), and there were a number of water filled bunkers. Considering the amount of the rain, the greens have held up well, although they were slow.
However, overall it's a good test as it plays longer than the scorecard and you need to keep out of the rough. But you will need to wait for drier conditions for a more accurate opinion.

Had an early tee of 8am. Staff were helpful and the course was under some renovation and ideas looked really intuitive.
Unfortunately the greens were all very sandy/gritty.

Reviewed May 13 2012
I've played here quite a bit and I would say it's a good length and a fair challenge for the higher handicappers but I feel a low handicap player would eat it up for dinner. The rough is always tricky, often difficult to get a clean connection. The fairways are not always cut as often as one would like leaving you wondering sometimes if you're playing from the first cut. The greens are always slow and some would say do not present much of a challenge (but somehow I can still manage to find spots to 3 putt from!). In Winter and SPring the course can be very wet due to how low it is and poor darinage although there is always work going on trying to remedy this as much as possible. All this sounds negative I know, but for all the downs to this course I still enjoy playing here as when you play well it rewards but when you do not play well it spanks your behind.

Played this after a HUGE downpour the night before, so I probably didn't see this course at its best. However, with the exception of one fairway where it was too wet for me to retrieve my ball, plus a couple of greens that were also struggling, it wasn't too bad other than being generally wet underfoot.
I think that once this course matures it will be a very nice place to play, but that maybe that is still a few years away. There are some nice holes here, with the 6th being a pretty par 3. If that's the good then the bad and the ugly follow at the 7th, where the green is to the left of a huge electricty pylon.
Nice clubhouse and very friendly staff.

The course is undergoing changes at the moment, I feel that it improves every year.
The greens suffered some damage last year but when they grow back they will be better than ever.
