Well worth a visit
One of those outstanding courses that I always look forward to playing each year. A lot of money was spent on the course a few years ago, with some bunkers being filled in, new ones placed at more appropriate places, and loads of new turf around the greens. This is all now nicely bedded in, and the course looks the better for it.This was my first round here this year, in the first of their 2 senior opens. The second one is in October. The greens had been top-dressed, but the sand was mainly washed in, so the greens were reasonably quick. Bunkers were looking good, and certainly the two I found had plenty of sand in them, were nicely raked and played well.
Food was included in our price, but it's always been good here, although I don't believe they open as early as they used to, so it would be best to check if you want a meal before your game.
I'm already looking forward to playing again in October.

Lovely Course
A lovely golf course. Well laid out in a fantastic setting.Considering the weather it was in great condition, with the greens running well.
As a few other reviews have said a lot of work has been done on the course, leaving all the bunkers currently as GUR, but it will be fantastic from May once fully opened.
The Pro & all the members were friendly & very helpful.
I look forward to playing it in the summer

Super place. Very good course. Plan your way around don't just bash it as long as possible. Some tricky greens, but you will score well if you put it in the right place.

Well worth a visit , large greens , fast. Front 9 fairly flatish , back 9 , a bit up and down . Lovely tree lined fairways , big trees so plenty of room to chip out onto the fairway. A very stately club house and friendly staff .

A lot of money was spent on the course a few years ago, with some bunkers being filled in, new ones placed at more appropriate places, and loads of new turf around the greens. This is all now nicely bedded in, and the course looks the better for it.As usual for October, this was my second round here in the year, in the second of their 2 senior opens, which are held in March (as a pairs event from 2023) and October as a singles event. The greens were absolutely superb and running very true and very quick even after all the rain we've had recently. Bunkers were looking good, and certainly the one I found had plenty of sand in it, but when I played the shot, this was quite compact under the perfectly raked surface.
In October 2022; I had a chat with the pro, who mentioned that we were playing just ahead of their Autumn maintenance, which would include deep hollow-tining and top-dressing, so if you're playing soon after mid-October, I'm sorry you missed the perfection we had for our outing. I should mention the ponds, which, after being very low on water in 2022, were back to their full volume, and making the course look back to its normal very pretty self with many mature trees and nice views.
Food was included in our price, but it's always been good here, although I don't believe they open as early as they used to, so it would be best to check if you want a meal before your game.

This is all now nicely bedded in, and the course looks the better for it.This was my second round here this year, in the second of their 2 senior opens, which are held in March and October. The greens were absolutely superb, with my playing partners likening them to carpets of velvet, so the greens were very quick. Bunkers were looking good, and certainly the ones I found had plenty of sand in them, were nicely raked and played well. One playing partner thought the sand was quite heavy, and therefore took a little more clubhead speed to get through.

Beautiful course, deceptive and traditional
A lovely traditional course, with undulating hills, quite tight fairways and very consistent greens. Virtually no water in play, and some deep bunkers. It is a bit up and down, but a buggy is unnecessary. The clubhouse is set within a large old country home, making it visually striking. Staff were nice, but I found the food uninspiring (Beef ready sliced for example.)Reviewer Rating

Great course with a variety of holes. Good undulation but not the longest trek and one you don't need a driver on many holes.
