What the club says: The course is truly unique, with 9 of the fairways being narrowly sculptured out of the ancient forest, pleasantly contrasting with 9 wider and winding fairways. Subtly borrowed greens are guarded by strategically placed bunkers, all of which make this par 68 course a real challenge for all standards of player.

Short but tight in reasonable condition
Short course, mainly woodland so tight. A fair number of dog-legs. Course condition reasonable but patchy grass in run-ups to greens. Greens themselves okay, true if a little slow. Came up against a slow members competition at end of round.Reviewer Rating

More of a thinkers course where you have to plot your way around the course rather than ripping a drive down the middle which is nice.
The course was in very good condition for the time of year, only a couple of temporary tee boxes and one temporary green. A few of the greens were waterlogged especially towards the back few holes but this didn't ruin our round.
The communication I had with the club from start to finish was 10 out of 10, extremely friendly staff and nothing was too much hassle.
The breakfast was nice and the staff were very friendly on the day and looked after our party extremely well (the chocolate cake at the end of the round was also lovely)

Such an Enjoyable Thinking Cours
It's not long - only 1 par 5 - but a variety of holes & challenges with narrow lines through trees or well placed shots for doglegs. Superb value.Reviewer Rating

Do not play
Worst kept course I've played for a while.Sandy greens with some holes created by animals left.
Fairways bare, bumpy with holes.
Course has a nice layout, but clear that it hasn't been cared for for a number of years. ?39pp is a joke.

Nice spot in the forest
Nice layout of different holes, need to play it more than once as many holes just need an iron as its not a long layout. some greens a bit wholly at present but the forest setting cannot make green maintenance easy, also fairways bit bare and very hard so some very unhelpful kicks and bounces.Reviewer Rating

A bit too tight
For the twilight rate of £14 it really is good value, but some of the fairways are so narrow, it does make it a bit silly sometimes. Plus there are just too many short dogleg par fours. Lovely welcome from everybody we spoke to, but broadly not a great course(Round played: Aug 2020 - Score: 93 Handicap: 19)

Friendly people, decent course, but....
This is a tough challenge. Very tight, lots of dog legs. Which are the defences over it not being very long. Knowing where to go off the tee is pretty much essential and on some holes leads to taking some very serious risks. However, there are a few holes, especially on the back nine that, IMHO don't work or are kind of tricked up to make them more difficult. For example, The 12th is played over a hedge from the tee. It's a short hole, but you have to play even shorter because there's another hedge about 50 yards short of the green. There's what looks like a gateway space cut into this hedge. It has an air of a crazy golf hole. The 17th could be a great hole, if not for another hedge, across it at about 250 yards. Sure, it's there to stop you driving it. But bunkers would do the same job. Get it slightly long / wrong and you're in the hedge and penalised unnecessarily. On the day we played here, most of the greens were soaking wet and incredibly soft (not just receptive). Many had also been recently tined (in a hot August?). My guess is they have had issues recently and are trying to correct them. Big plus point is the people here, really couldn't do enough for us. That said, I'm not sure I'd rush back.(Round played: Aug 2020 - Score: 88 Handicap: 10.2)

Birtday game with mike graeme and nobby
Always wanted to play this course. Tricky but although short, you have to plot your way around the course carefully. Wouldn't suit a big boomers game but those with guile would find it interesting.(Round played: Jul 2020 - Score: 93 Handicap: 20.4)
