After reading mixed reviews me and a friend decided to give it a bash as we thought it looked suited to us as we play off 26 & 28.
We were indeed proved correct and thoroughly enjoyed it and for £14 on a Saturday it was a steal. Maybe not challenging enough for some better players but well worth a visit in my opinion and we will be back at some point for sure.

Lovely course

Haven't played for a while, and there have been a few changes. Firstly the bunkers have been slightly altered and new sand installed. Personally I thought there was a bit too much sand in the greenside bunker at the 12th, as I struggled to get a stance, but I know bunkers can divide opinion a little. The last 5 holes have changed routing as well, with the old 15th now being the 17th and the 17th now the 15th. This allows a new elevated tee box on the 16th par 3. This is certainly spectacular, but the new routing did cause some confusion and some bunching up, as the teeing areas and rough adjacent to the two par 4 fairways are quite close. There was always a potential for this, and maybe things will settle down, but did throw us a bit. Also for ladies, the exit from the new 17th green takes you up on the hill where the gents tees are for the 18th, but the normal red tees are in their original place. This means that any women players have to walk up and back down the hill to get to their tees. Still enjoyed the course, and staff and members are really friendly. So, all good fun, just need to get used to the re-routing at the end.

Challenging at times, some blind holes where you don't know where you should play your shot for first timers but sure next time be much better. Great views.

course in good condition, greens fantastic. A good challenge of your game as whilst short if out of position you are unlikely to score well.

It's a links course so very well drained and holds up well in all weathers. Some challenging holes and stunning scenery - particularly when you cross the road for the last few holes. Some well placed hazards along the way to keep the interest. The course has become our 'go-to' course if the weather isnt great. Love it!
