The course is beautiful. I played this course 2 years ago and it was one of bed courses I have played.The greens were like carpets..Unfortunately this time the greens were terrible and virtually unplayable.I was told that a fungus had caused the damage and were recovering.As soon as they have recovered I will be back .It is quite hilly so a buggy or electric trolley recommended.A friendly club and would definitely recommend once the greens have recovered.

This seems quite a short course. Some of the par 3 holes are very interesting . The greens were in lovely condition and fast. This wasn't one of my best games !1

Pleasant part park part downland course. A few very interesting holes along with a few up and backs!
Pleasant members friendly staff. Fair number of crossover holes and I don't like hem when you hear a ball fly over with no shout.
I might play again if I was in the area

Good course but played it in horrendous weather - the mist coming off the sea was more like sideways hail!
A few of the holes criss-cross each other so keep your wits about you.
Quite a challenge with some great holes on the back nine - does have small greens so accurate iron play needed.

Great scenery!

My first time here, wonderfully impressive visually. Good practice facilities and very friendly welcome from the staff and members. Course in fine condition, an interesting mixture of holes, nothing easy. The greens are quite small but offer perfect surfaces for putting. I'll definitely visit again.

Brilliant course with a lot of up and down and great views around the turn, particularly the 13th Par 3 which feels like playing off the top of a mountain. Well kept and excellent greens, and overall very challenging. Highly recommended.
